Look up any German word

Search for any German word from the home page and get a detailed, AI-generated definition — far richer than a standard dictionary entry. Results are cached so repeat lookups are instant.

Each entry includes

• Phonetic pronunciation
• Part of speech
• Full German definition
• Noun article (der / die / das) and plural form
• Feminine form for gendered nouns
• Verb forms — present, simple past, past participle
• Strong verb conjugations where applicable
• Required preposition and case (e.g. warten auf + Akk.)
• Example sentences graded by CEFR level (A–C)
• English translation
• Usage notes for tricky or formal contexts
• Idiom flag for fixed expressions

Build collections

Organise words into named collections — by topic, lesson, chapter, or any grouping that suits you. Add words directly from a definition page, then practice entire collections at once using any of the available modes.

Collections give you a fast way to review a specific set of vocabulary whenever you need to, without being tied to a daily schedule.

Practice with multiple modes

Choose a collection and one or more practice modes — Germigo will run through every word, assigning modes at random when you select several at once. Each mode targets a different aspect of learning.

• WWord Guessing — Read the definition and type the correct German word.
• CCards — Flip through flashcards to see the word and its full definition.
• CCloze — Fill in the missing word inside a real example sentence.
• SSentence Writing — Rearrange shuffled words to reconstruct the correct example sentence.
• DDictation — Listen to the sentence read aloud and write it from memory.
• FFill Examples — Words are hidden across multiple example sentences — fill them all in.
• LListen — Hear the word, definition, and example sentence played in sequence.

Track words and master them over time

Add any word to your learning progress. Germigo will then include it in a daily session of up to 10 words, using spaced repetition — a method proven to build lasting memory by reviewing words at precisely timed intervals.

Each word moves through six stages. Answer correctly after the waiting period ends and it advances; answer incorrectly and it steps back one stage. You can track up to 200 words at a time.
