German vocabulary quiz

Getting your words…

Getting your words…

A quick way to check which German words you already know. Each question shows a word and four options: pick the English meaning, or switch the direction and pick the German word for a meaning.

Choose a word list from A1 to B1, or the most common German words, and play a round of 10 words.

How it works

  1. Choose the direction: German → English to recognise words, English → German to recall them.
  2. Pick the answer from the four options (or press 1–4 on a keyboard).
  3. See the answer: the right option is marked, and nouns show their article.
  4. Continue to the next word. After 10 words you see your score and the words to look at again.

Tips

  • English → German is harder: it asks you to recall a word, not just recognise it. Try it once German → English feels easy.
  • Listen to each German word in the result and add the hard ones to your learning list.
  • Words you miss come back in your next rounds until you get them right.
  • Get several right in a row to keep your streak going.
