Learn Deutsch in Steps

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about the app

Yes. All learning content is free forever – all levels (A1–C1), all words, grammar, notes and examples. We don't lock knowledge behind a paywall.
The app is funded through advertisements. This allows us to keep learning free for everyone. If you don't want ads and want to support us – you can become a Supporter.
Support is not mandatory and doesn't unlock knowledge. By supporting: • you help keep the app free • you enable further development • you get a nicer experience without ads It's a way to say: "This helps me – I want to support you."
As a token of gratitude, Supporters receive: ❤️ Learning without ads 📶 Offline mode ⭐ Supporter badge 🚀 Early access to new features 💬 Priority support But: learning content is the same for everyone, whether you support or not.
No. You can reach B1, B2 and beyond without any payment. Support exists only for those who want it.
Because: • ads pay for free learning • but not everyone wants them If you support us, we don't need to show you ads. That's a fair exchange.
Most apps: • lock levels • limit features • push subscriptions We: • don't lock knowledge • don't force subscriptions • give control to the learner If you want to play a game – there are other apps. If you want to learn without pressure – we're here.
Super Premium will offer advanced tools for those who want more, e.g.: 🤖 AI tutor 🗣️ Speaking feedback 📝 B1 test simulator 🎯 Personalized recommendations These options are not needed for basic learning and will be completely optional. Early Supporters will have special benefits.
No. This is a fundamental decision of this project. Knowledge stays free. Support stays optional.
Because we also learned German and know how: • frustrating paywalls are • demotivating limitations are We wanted to make an app we would love to use ourselves.
The most helpful things: • using the app • giving feedback • recommending to friends And if you want – supporting the project. ❤️
