A1 · A2 · B1 · B2 · Goethe-Wortliste, gedrillt
Pass Goethe German without re-learning what you already know.
Lingio is a spaced-repetition trainer built for the exact grammar German exams test: der die das, Stammformen, Perfekt mit haben/sein, Genitiv, Plural. No streaks, no owls, no cartoons.
Cartoon owls won't teach you der · die · das.
Generic language apps optimise for daily engagement, not for the skills A1–B2 exams actually grade. After three months you can name twenty fruits and still freeze on a noun's article.
You see Haus, Tisch, gehen for the hundredth time while neue Wörter sit untouched. Calendar-based review wastes weeks.
der, die, or das? Generic apps barely drill it. Goethe will. One wrong article can flip a whole case.
gehen · ging · gegangen. Most apps don't even ask. Without the principal parts, Perfekt and Präteritum stay broken.
One scheduler. Twelve drills. Your memory, not the calendar.
- 1Pull the Goethe wordlist
A1, A2, B1, B2: the official active vocabulary is already in the database. You don't curate decks. You just turn levels on.
- 2Drill the weakest skill
Each word has up to twelve drill modes. You can train article only, Stammformen only, or all of them in one pass.
- 3FSRS schedules every card
A modern spaced-repetition algorithm (not 2007-era SM-2) picks tomorrow's queue from your real recall, per drill, per word.
Twelve drills. Each one trains a skill an examiner grades.
Every drill uses the same FSRS scheduler, so easy cards drift to monthly intervals while leeches stay on the front of the queue. You don't pick decks, you pick which skill to weak-spot today.
Classic flashcard recall: see the word, know the meaning.
The gender drill no other app takes seriously.
Tisch → Tische, Kind → Kinder. No more guessing -e / -er / -s.
Infinitive · Präteritum · Partizip II. The verb backbone.
ich, du, er/sie/es… present-tense forms drilled per person.
haben or sein + Partizip II, written into a real sentence.
des Tisches, der Lampe: the case Duolingo forgets exists.
gut, besser, am besten, and the irregulars that trip everyone.
Build the vocabulary depth examiners ask for in mündlich.
Pair words by opposition. Sticks better than rote lists.
The subordinators that re-order the verb. Drilled by function.
No multiple-choice. Type the form. Grading tolerates real typos.
A serious tool for one job: passing your exam.

“Lingio started as a tool for one B1 candidate, sitting the exam in 30 days. It was never meant to be a platform. It still isn't. If your goal is the same: pass and move on. It's built for you.”
No leaderboard, no notifications begging you back, no premium gate. If the app stops being useful the day after your Prüfung, that's fine. That's the point.
Heute anfangen. The Prüfung doesn't move.
One account. Twelve drills. Your level, picked at signup, drilled by FSRS from day one.
