Methodology

Smart Repetition

Each word lives in a Leitner box (0 → 5). Answer correctly – the word moves up a box, and the pause until the next repetition grows. Make a mistake, and it slides back. This way, you learn exactly the words you need right now – and forget nothing.

Answers are checked on the server (no cheating), pronunciation – via speech synthesis (de-DE).

Box 0
Box 1
Box 2
Box 3
Box 4
Box 5

The higher the box, the longer the pause – until the word is learned

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DTZ?

DTZ (Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer) is a state German exam at A2–B1 level. It is taken for integration and often for a residence permit or citizenship. AstroLingua prepares for all 13 parts of the exam.

Is AstroLingua really free?

Yes. While AstroLingua is in beta, everything is free. We'll introduce paid plans later and always tell you in advance.

Is it just a set of words?

No. In addition to a large vocabulary with neural voiceovers, it offers full-fledged exercises for all 4 DTZ skills, grammar, practice exams, phrase training, and a live AI tutor who speaks and corrects you by voice.

What levels are supported?

From A1 to B1 (with a foundation for B2) — exactly what is needed for DTZ. Words and topics are broken down by level, and smart repetition selects what to learn right now.

What languages is the interface in?

The interface and word translations are available in several languages — choose yours upon registration, and it will be saved across all devices.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. In the mobile app, you can download words, audio, and citizenship test questions in advance — and practice without internet: on the subway, plane, or wherever there's no network. Progress syncs as soon as connection is restored.

Is there a mobile app?

We are releasing native apps for iPhone and Android. In the meantime, open AstroLingua directly in your phone's browser: everything works there too.
