how practice works

Pick a lesson, a drill or a game on the map. A drill gives you a short run of items from the course. A mock exam rehearses the real paper's parts under its timer.

Every answer is marked on the spot, and what you miss comes back to be practised again. Your progress, streak and level are kept for each course.

Starting a course adds it to your courses and opens its map. A goal, with an exam date if you have one, is an optional step on the course's page.

frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to practise German?
