Der, die or das – until it sticks.
The app for practising German articles until they stick – for everyone learning German: for the exam, for work or for everyday life. No account, no ads.

How a round works
- 1 A word appearsWith its meaning underneath if you like – and read aloud so you hear it too.
- 2 Tap a pandaThe blue one carries DER, the grey one DAS, the pink one DIE. Tapped the wrong one? Then try again.
- 3 The word moves onEvery correct answer pushes it one box further. Three boxes, and it has stuck.
What it looks like
For the exam and everyday life
Every word is graded by language level. You choose what comes up and see where each word stands.
- Language level A1 to B1Every word is graded. If you are studying for an exam, switch on “Exam vocabulary only” and practise the nouns from the word lists of the Goethe-Institut and the ÖSD – otherwise the whole stock counts.
- Meaning and example sentenceFor each word there is what it means and a sentence it appears in. In the game the light bulb first shows the meaning – it does not give the article away – and the sentence on a second press.
- Three boxes per wordA right answer moves a word one box on, a wrong one puts it back to zero. After three boxes it is solid. “My words” shows for every single one where it stands.
- You choose what comes upSolid, wobbly, wrong, new – the four groups are the filter as well. Plus topic and round length: if you only want to practise your mistakes, you play a round of nothing but mistakes.
Why is it die Zeitung?
There are rules – only none of them holds without exception. So the rules page shows for each one how often it applies to your own words, and turns every rule into a round of practice.
See the rules Article table with all four cases Look up all words- -ung die Zeitung, die Leitung always
- -chen das Mädchen, das Brötchen always
- -ling der Frühling, der Lehrling always
- -er der Lehrer mostly

Frequent questions
Does the app cost anything?
No. All words, all topics and all rules are free. There are no ads and no in-app purchases.
Do I need an account?
No. No account is created, no e-mail address is asked for and no password is set. Players and progress live in the browser storage of the device.
Does it work offline?
Yes, for practising. Words, pictures and rules are stored on the device after the first start. Only the pronunciation needs a connection – words you have heard once stay audible offline.
Who is it for?
For teenagers and adults learning German – for an exam, for work or for everyday life. Children get their own levels with fewer words; on the smallest, every word has a picture and there is a single button.
What can it not do?
It practises the article in the nominative – der Hund, die Katze, das Pferd. Cases, plurals and declension do not appear, and it does not translate vocabulary.
