Open WBuch
An app for everyday German

German that fits your day.

WBuch splits learning into short blocks at times that suit you: cards in the morning, a text at lunch, a podcast on the way home. The app decides which word to review — right before you would forget it.

A day built from short blocks

You pick the times and the exercises — WBuch reminds you and keeps things in order. Short on time? Ease off. Feeling strong? Push harder. Everything else recalculates itself.

Four ways to remember a word

Recognition

A picture and a translation — recall the German word with its article.

Typing

Write the word yourself, letter by letter, umlauts included.

Fill the blanks

Put the word into a real sentence, in the right form.

Assembly

Build the word from letters — for the ones that just won’t stick.

Die Freude am Entdecken neuer Orte

Letzten Sommer sind wir in eine ruhige Gegend im Schwarzwald gefahren. Jeden Morgen haben wir einen neuen Weg entdeckt — mal zu einem See, mal zu einem kleinen Dorf. Am Abend saßen wir vor dem Haus und haben über den Tag gesprochen. Neue Orte machen neugierig — auch auf die Sprache.
