Why this page may matter to you
If you are a US teacher of German, a parent of a French-speaking student or a student who reads French, this app shows how the French program builds German step by step, because it starts with the German alphabet and pronunciation and ends with topics from the baccalauréat exam.
However, the app does not suit complete beginners who read only English, because the explanations are in French.
What each level of the German course app offers
- Clear lessons with translated examples, tables and diagrams
- Pronunciation: tap a German word to hear it with your phone’s voice
- Progressive worksheets
- Quizzes of 15 questions with sounds, colors, a final grade, personalized advice and a review zone for missed items
- Graded tests out of 20, to practice as in class
The levels are 6ème, 5ème, 4ème, 3ème, 2de, 1ère and Terminale. In each level, chapters cover pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, expression, comprehension, civilization and method.
Listening and review
The tap-to-hear feature is helpful because German spelling hides sounds that English speakers often miss, such as the vowel changes or the ch sound. A learner can listen again as many times as needed.
The review zone collects the questions the student missed, so the next session can start where it matters. As a result, a student has a clear way to turn mistakes into progress.
Practical details
The device stores progress: finished chapters, best grades and favorites. No account is needed, there is no advertising, and the app works on phones and tablets. The Allemand PDF site hosts the detailed answer keys and printable sheets, and it opens from the app with one tap.
German is often taught in French schools as a second foreign language, after English, so students arrive with less exposure. That explains the careful start with the alphabet and pronunciation, and the tap-to-hear feature. Moreover, teachers mark graded tests out of 20, in the French style, and the later chapters follow the topics of the baccalauréat exam. A learner can therefore see the whole path, from the first letters to the final year, in one app.
Beyond the language itself, the chapters on civilization and method are worth a look. They show what a French student has to know about German-speaking countries and how to approach a comprehension text or an oral exam. For instance, teachers in the US who run exchanges with French schools can use this to understand what their partner students have already studied, and to prepare activities at the right level.
