Learn German vocabulary that sticks

German vocabulary lives and dies by context: a noun without its gender or a verb without its case is only half-learned. That’s the gap 10 Words is designed to close.

What makes German vocabulary tricky

To really know a German word you need more than its meaning: nouns come with a gender (der/die/das) and a plural, verbs govern particular cases, and separable prefixes wander to the end of the sentence. Compound words like Handschuh (“glove”) reward you for learning parts in context. Seeing each word inside a sentence is the natural way to absorb all of that at once.

The method, applied to German

10 Words teaches German the same way it teaches every language: the most common words first, each one inside a real example sentence you complete like a crossword, and every word scheduled for review with FSRS spaced repetition so it actually sticks. Ten words at a time, no deck-building, no setup.
