Vocabulary trainer

Vocabulary built around the exam word lists

German exams are written from published word lists - roughly 650 words at A1, 1,300 at A2 and 2,400 at B1. That is a finite target, and hitting it precisely beats learning three times as much vocabulary at random. PassDeutsch turns each level’s list into short, repeatable games with a spaced-repetition schedule that brings words back exactly when you are about to forget them.

How it works

  1. 1

    Study the list for your level

    Words are grouped into the themes the exams use - personal details, housing, health, work, travel, authorities - so you learn them in the contexts where they will appear.

  2. 2

    Play, do not just read

    Quiz, matching and fill-in-the-blank rounds take a couple of minutes each. Short sessions repeated daily beat one long session a week, and the app is designed around that.

  3. 3

    Let spaced repetition schedule the review

    Words you get right come back later; words you miss come back sooner. You never decide what to revise - you just open the app.

  4. 4

    See definitions in your own language

    Every entry is translated into all eight app languages, so you can check a meaning in Bengali, Turkish, Arabic, Ukrainian, Russian or Hindi without leaving the exercise.

Questions

How many German words do I need for each exam level?

Around 650 for A1, around 1,300 for A2 and around 2,400 for B1, each figure including the levels below it. Those numbers come from the published word lists the exams are built on.

What is spaced repetition?

A review schedule that shows you a word again just before you would forget it. Each correct answer pushes the next review further away, so your daily session concentrates on the words that are actually at risk.

Can I see meanings in my own language?

Yes - vocabulary definitions are available in English, German, Turkish, Bengali, Arabic, Ukrainian, Russian and Hindi.
