QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
• Can I learn German from zero? Yes. Take the placement test or start at A1 lesson one.
• How do I learn der, die, das and cases? Use the Gender Coach and the Case Trainer.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Your progress stays on your device.
• Listening uses your phone's text-to-speech voice, not recordings of people, and speaking drills do not replace talking with a person.
• The app and its explanations are in English. Levels follow the CEFR scale (A1 to C1). The level exams are practice tests, not official certificates.
