Learning German with Lymi
Every noun carries der, die or das, and the notes add the plural, so the article is learnt with the word rather than after it.
The A1, A2 and B1 decks are checked against the Goethe-Zertifikat word lists for their level. They follow those levels; they are not official or complete exam lists.
Questions
- Do the words match the Goethe exams?
The A1, A2 and B1 decks are checked against the Goethe-Zertifikat word list for each level, but they aren’t official or complete lists.
- Where should I start?
With the deck that fits why you’re learning, such as a trip or your first lessons. You can add more than one, and Lymi mixes their cards into one daily review.
- Are the decks free?
Yes. You can add a deck and learn it for free.
- How does Lymi decide when to show a card again?
It schedules every card with spaced repetition and brings it back right before you’d forget it.
- Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Lymi runs in the browser on your phone and your computer, and you can add it to your home screen. Your cards and progress are the same on both.
