Which languages does the dictionary cover?

German, English, Spanish, French and Russian, in any source-target combination among those five.

How is it different from a translator?

A translator returns an equivalent. Here each sense is separate, with its grammar, conjugations, audio and levelled examples — which is what lets you pick the right meaning and actually use the word in a sentence.

Do I need an account?

To save words and carry them into reviews and games, yes. The free account does both, with a cap on saved words.

Are the examples real or invented?

They are everyday sentences — conversation, work and admin — written for the level they are assigned to, not stray corpus fragments without context.

A dictionary that explains the word, not just translates it

Sense by sense, with grammar, conjugations, native audio and examples ordered by level, in German, English, Spanish, French and Russian.

A translator swaps one word for another. That is enough to get by, and it fails exactly when it matters: when the word has several senses, when it governs a particular preposition, when it exists but nobody uses it in that context.

The difference between translating and understanding is the difference between knowing that *bank* is "Bank" and knowing which of the two banks, with which gender, in which register, and in what real sentence it turns up.

What each entry gives you

Separated senses: Each meaning on its own, not a pile of synonyms. That is what stops you picking the wrong one.
The word’s grammar: Gender, plural, government, and the quirks that make a correct word sound odd in a sentence.
Full conjugations: For verbs, the whole table — where half of real questions actually get settled.
Native audio: How it sounds, not how it is spelled. Reading a word without hearing it is memorising it wrong from the start.
Examples by level: Sentences from daily life, work and paperwork, ordered A1 to C2 so you see the word in a context that fits you.
Synonyms and antonyms: To move around the word instead of always reaching for the same one.

Languages and levels

German, English, Spanish, French and Russian, in any combination among them. Examples and levels follow the CEFR, A1 to C2, so you can look up an advanced word and still see a sentence you understand.

From looking a word up to knowing it

Looking a word up is not learning it. Half an hour later it is gone, and that is the part almost no dictionary solves, because it is not its job.

Here it is: the word you look up is saved to your vocabulary with one tap, enters spaced repetition and comes back in games built from your own words. The dictionary is the way in, not the end of the road.

Using the dictionary and saving words is available on the free plan, with a cap on how many words you can keep.
