Summary

Are you looking for a flexible and engaging way to learn German? My German Dictionary may be what you’re looking for.

My German Dictionary is a web resource that’s designed to help you learn German through immersive content (articles, books, subtitles, song lyrics) and build your own personal dictionary. You’ll be able to learn at your own pace, and expand your vocabulary as you go.

The resource is quite flexible and user-friendly, allowing you to turn content you enjoy into personalized lessons or use the public lessons available on the site. The public lessons are AI-generated and have been checked for accuracy, to ensure everything you learn is correct and reliable. You can add new words to your dictionary and practice them regularly so they really stick. If you don’t want to enter all the basic words into your dictionary, you can use a ready-made dictionary. Additionally, the platform allows you to export your dictionary to use outside the platform, and even turn your lessons into audio to listen on the go.

My German Dictionary also tracks lemmas. This done by grouping related word forms (such as “schnell”, “schnelle” and “schnelles”) under a single lemma (“schnell”). You’ll be able to see the number of lemmas in your dictionary, which is a more accurate measure of your progress. Furthermore, if you’re a total beginner, there’s a built-in beginner German course to help you get started.

This resource is similar to LingQ, especially the “learn through real content” approach. However, My German Dictionary is focused specifically on German, has a much simpler interface, and is free to use.

The text-to-speech function won’t work in browsers like Opera on Android that don’t support it, but it does work on Chrome, Edge or Firefox. That said, it’s still a solid pick for beginners looking for a hands-on resource.
