I've been working on a small German learning web app as a fun side project, and I'd love some honest feedback from this community.

The idea is simple: instead of trying to teach everything, I wanted to focus on the German that's actually useful for everyday life in Germany.

Current features include:

• Practical daily-life sentences grouped by topic
• 2,500+ high-frequency German words with examples
• A1, A2 and B1 grammar lessons
• Spaced repetition
• Pronunciation audio (text-to-speech)
• Translation and pattern-based practice

The app is completely free to try, works in the browser, requires no login, and you can start using it immediately.

Please use a desktop or laptop if possible. The current version isn't fully optimized for mobile yet.

I'm not looking for praise. I'm looking for criticism.

If you had 10-15 minutes to try it, I'd really appreciate your thoughts on questions like:

• What feels confusing or unnecessary?
• What features are missing?
• What would make you use it regularly?
• Are there any mistakes or unnatural German?
• If you could add one feature, what would it be?

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, any feedback is welcome. I'd like to keep improving it based on real users rather than just my own ideas.

As someone who recently moved to Germany, I've been curious about this.

I know Germany teaches a lot about its history in school, and I don't want to accidentally bring up a topic that's considered inappropriate.

Are Germans generally comfortable discussing Hitler in a historical context, or is it something people prefer to avoid in everyday conversation?

For example, if the topic comes up naturally while talking about history or visiting museums, is it okay to ask questions, or is it better not to?

I moved to Germany last year and started learning German on my own using YouTube, AI, and any good resources I could find.

When I renewed my visa, the Ausländerbehörde required me to take the integration course, so I enrolled in March 2026.

The classes are mostly in German, which has really improved my listening. I can understand a lot of basic German now, but I still struggle to speak.

Everyone tells me, "Just speak, even if your grammar is wrong." The problem is that I don't know what to say beyond basic everyday sentences. My mind just goes blank.

Has anyone been in the same situation? What helped you start speaking more naturally? How did you get past the point where you understood more than you could actually say?
