Hi all! We built Vokabahn, a free German vocabulary site, and would love honest feedback from people learning German.

  • Study: 15,000 words from A1 to C2, ordered by how often they're used. Each card has native-sounding audio, the article and plural, and a real example sentence with translation. Spaced repetition brings words back right before you'd forget them, with a daily goal and a streak.
  • Vokabahn Express: a 3D train ride across Germany. A German word appears on your train and you switch onto the track with its meaning: https://vokabahn.com/game/vokabahn-express

It's free and stays free, no account needed (Google sign-in only syncs progress between devices). We made it, so criticism is very welcome, especially about the word choices and translations.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. You are right, “All levels” mixed in words from every level which is how Abfindung turned up so early. We’ve changed it. New words now start with everyday A1–A2 vocabulary and step up gradually as you learn, with a few slightly harder ones mixed in. You can still choose exact levels under Settings → Levels, on the All words page, and in most of the games.

About the example sentences: fair point. Some of them are more complex than the word they’re meant to teach, and a few vice versa. We’re working through them, starting with the beginner words. If one stands out as off, send it our way and it goes to the top of the list. Thanks for trying it!
