Learn German the Smart Way

German is spoken by over 100 million people worldwide and is one of the most useful languages to learn for travel, work, or study in Europe. But most courses waste your time on vocabulary you'll rarely use, before you even get to the words that matter.

MostUsedWords takes a different approach: learn the most common words first. Our German Frequency Dictionaries rank vocabulary by actual usage — the 10,000 most common German words, organized by CEFR level, each with an example sentence and IPA phonetic pronunciation.

Start with the Essential Vocabulary dictionary — the 2,500 most common German words — and work your way up to Master level as you progress. Learn ten words a day and you'll cover the full set in a few months, with real, usable German to show for it.

Whatever stage you're at, the fastest path to fluent German starts with the right words — not the most words.
