Your first sentence
Wie spät ist es?
What time is it?
Play buttons use your device’s own voice, so they appear only when it has one for German.
How it works
Four steps for every German sentence
One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking German out loud.
Step 1
Order
See a German sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
Step 2
Translate
See the English and build the sentence in German, word by word.
Step 3
Listen
Hear the sentence spoken in German, then type what you understood.
Step 4
Speak
Say it out loud in German and see which words landed and which to try again.
Speaking German
Why speak German from day one
In German the verb sits in second place in a simple sentence and jumps to the end of many others. Building sentences from a word bank, then saying them aloud, makes that pattern automatic instead of something you work out each time.

German questions, answered
Can I learn German for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach German speaking?
Every German sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise German?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any German already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday German sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
Is German hard to learn for English speakers?
Pronunciation is fairly regular and many words are close to English. Cases, genders and verb position are the real work, and they are easier to absorb as whole sentences than as rules.
