01The problem

Cartoon owls won't teach you der · die · das.

Words you already know

You see Haus, Tisch, gehen for the hundredth time while neue Wörter sit untouched. Calendar-based review wastes weeks.

The article gap

der, die, or das? Generic apps barely drill it. Goethe will. One wrong article can flip a whole case.

Stammformen blind spot

gehen · ging · gegangen. Most apps don't even ask. Without the principal parts, Perfekt and Präteritum stay broken.

02How it works

One scheduler. Twelve drills. Your memory, not the calendar.

  1. 1
    Pull 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.

  2. 2
    Drill 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.

  3. 3
    FSRS 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.

03The drills

Twelve ways to be asked the same word.

A word you can translate is not a word you can use. Each drill isolates one skill an examiner will test separately.

Classic flashcard recall: see the word, know the meaning.

04What Lingio is not

A serious tool for one job: passing your exam.

Generic flashcard apps
  • Daily-streak gamification
  • SM-2 from 1987 or naive Leitner
  • Article + Stammformen optional or absent
  • Built for ten languages
  • Adverts, gems, owls
Lingio
  • Exam-aligned skill drills
  • FSRS, per-card, per-drill
  • Article + Stammformen are first-class
  • Built for German only
  • No ads. No tier. Read the source.
“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.”

07Before you start
Is Lingio free?
Yes. There is no paid tier, no card, and no adverts. If the app stops being useful the day after your Prüfung, that is fine. That is the point.
What is FSRS, and why does it matter?
FSRS is a modern spaced-repetition scheduler. It predicts when you are about to forget a card and shows it then, instead of on a fixed calendar like the SM-2 algorithm most flashcard apps still use. In practice it means you stop re-seeing words you already know and spend that time on the ones you do not.
Which levels does Lingio cover?
A1 through B2, using the official Goethe active vocabulary. Roughly 2,400 words are loaded and drillable today, with full morphology: gender, plural, genitive, principal parts, comparatives.
Do I have to study every drill mode?
No. Each word carries up to twelve drills and you choose which ones are in your queue. If your articles are solid but your Stammformen are not, train Stammformen only.
Does Lingio teach speaking or listening?
Not yet. The drills are written recall and the exam practice is reading (Lesen). Hören, Schreiben and Sprechen are not built. If those are what you need most, Lingio is only part of your preparation.
Do I need an account to use the dictionary?
No. The dictionary is public. Every German word's conjugation table, plural, genitive and example sentences are readable without signing in.
