Frequently Asked Questions

Is EverydayDeutsch free?
Yes, you can get started for free. All core learning features are available at no cost.
What German level do I need to start?
You can start from complete beginner (A1). Scenarios and vocabulary decks are organized by CEFR level (A1 through B2), so you can pick what matches your current ability.

Can I use it on my phone?

Learning Method
What makes EverydayDeutsch different from other apps?
Instead of abstract grammar drills, EverydayDeutsch focuses on real-life scenarios you'll actually face in Germany — like visiting a doctor, going to the Buergeramt, or apartment hunting. Every phrase comes with native audio and cultural context.
What is spaced repetition (SRS)?
Spaced repetition is a scientifically proven learning technique that shows you vocabulary at increasing intervals. Cards you find easy appear less often, while difficult ones come back sooner. This optimizes your review time for maximum retention.
How do the conversation simulations work?
Conversation simulations present you with realistic dialogue scenarios. You choose responses and get scored on appropriateness. This helps you practice the flow of real German conversations.
What is the readiness score?
The readiness score tracks your progress across phrases, drills, and conversation practice for each scenario. It shows how prepared you are for that real-life situation.
How many vocabulary entries are there?
There are hundreds of vocabulary entries across 75+ categories, covering A1 through B2 levels. New content is added regularly.
Technical
Where is my data stored?
All progress data is stored locally on your device using your browser's storage (localStorage and IndexedDB). Nothing is sent to a server unless you opt into cloud sync.
Do you track users or collect analytics?
We use PostHog for product analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns (for example, feature usage and learning flow). Analytics can be disabled in Settings. Optional account sync uses your email address and progress data.
Can I sync across devices?
Yes. Optional Firebase-based cloud sync lets you sync your progress across devices. You'll need to create an account for this feature.
What browsers are supported?
EverydayDeutsch works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For the best experience, use the latest version of your browser.
