The card, front and back
The front shows the word with its article and part of speech, and a real sentence with the word highlighted. Tap to flip. The back adds the English and the sentence’s translation. Tap the card here to try it.
Learn German. Skip the obvious.
1000 words English doesn’t hand you for free, each in a real sentence. Tap to flip, tap to rate, and every word comes back just before you’d forget it. Free, no account.
How it works
2 / 3
Rate it, watch it climb
Three circles rate every card: Not yet, A little, or I know it. Each answer sets when the word comes back. Two greens in a row mark it as Learned; a miss sends it back a step.

Units
The 1000 words sit in 21 topic units, from work and school to shopping, food and travel. Home picks three units for the next session, ten cards by default, reviews first and then new words. Or open any unit and work through it.
What is Vögel?
Vögel is spaced repetition for German vocabulary, built around one idea: never making you learn what you already know. It starts from the most frequent German words and drops what English gives you for free. What’s left is 1000 words you’d have to learn on purpose, one tap to flip and one to rate.
Which words are in it?
The 1000 words sit in 21 topic units, from work and school to shopping, food and travel, each with a real sentence that shows it in use. Numbers, weekdays and months are left out: you pick those up elsewhere in a week.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No. Vögel runs entirely on your phone: no account, no connection, and nothing leaves the device. It’s free, with no ads and no subscription.
Which phones does it run on?
iPhone and Android: App Store · Google Play
