Learn German with Loquus

Learn German.

German gives you plenty to notice, from capital letters on nouns to verbs that move within a sentence. Loquus connects vocabulary practice with explanations and audio, so you can return to a word or pattern when you want a closer look at how it works.

Hallo

Start with a greeting. Keep going from there.

01

Learn nouns with their companions

A German noun is more useful when you recognize its article and plural too. Check the examples and available related forms in the Dictionary. When you return to learned words, pay attention to the small words around them and the meaning of the complete phrase.

02

Notice where the verb goes

German word order can change between a statement, a question, and a longer sentence. Grammar Center provides a place to study the pattern behind an example. Take one sentence at a time and follow the verb before trying to understand every detail at once.

03

Give unfamiliar sounds some time

Letters such as ä, ö, ü, and ß deserve attention alongside the rest of a word. Use the alphabet reference and Dictionary audio to hear examples. Replay a word slowly, then listen at normal speed and try saying it within a phrase you are practicing.

A new word card in the German course: hallo, meaning hello, with normal and very slow audio.

Every word gets its own card.

Your first word is hallo, meaning hello. Each new word comes with its meaning and audio at normal or very slow speed.

  • Normal and very slow audio
  • Notes when a word needs them
Say it out loud: the app plays hallo and you repeat it right after the voice.

Then say it yourself.

Right after a new word, you repeat it after the voice. This is called shadowing, and it builds speaking habits from your very first lesson.
