hospital
Vokably splits every compound into the words you already know, so one long noun teaches you three.
Do you know der from die from das?
Almost nothing about a German noun predicts its gender, and it is the first thing to fade. Five nouns — no sign-up, no catch.
This is the real Der Die Das game, just shorter.
Tisch
table
Five boxes. You can see exactly where every word sits.
Recall a word and it moves up a box and waits longer. Miss it and it drops straight back to box 1. No opaque algorithm deciding things behind your back.
Recalled it — up one box, and it waits a day
The hard parts, handled on the card
A general flashcard app gives you an empty deck. Vokably arrives knowing what German does to English speakers.
Gender on every noun
The article and the plural sit on the card itself, so you learn der Tisch rather than Tisch and a shrug.
False friends flagged
Gift is poison. bekommen is to receive. Vokably warns you the first time you meet the word, not after you have used it wrongly.
Compounds broken down
Krankenhaus is a sick-house. Long nouns stop being intimidating once you can see the seams — and one teaches you three.
Separable verbs marked
ziehen is to pull, anziehen is to get dressed. The prefix jumps to the end of the clause and takes the meaning with it.
Every verb form
Präsens, Präteritum, Partizip II and the right auxiliary — haben or sein — on every verb in the library.
Real example sentences
Words arrive inside German sentences with English translations, so you meet them in context and not as a bare gloss.
