Every word glossed, word forms that help, the Tutor on every module
September 2026
Two dictionary entries read on production started this release: a verb labelled "Indikativ" whose chip led to a page about unreal conditions, and a noun explained with a movement the sentence never describes. Reading every word-form entry on production showed those were patterns, not accidents.
Every content word is glossed. A reading passage now carries a hint on every noun, verb, adjective and adverb, the everyday ones included, and the app retries a passage that falls short. Function words such as und, ein or war get a short fixed gloss instead of costing a model call. A German noun's hint covers its article (Die Lukenklappe), and a separable verb is one expression: hover tauchte and auf lights up with it, under the heading auftauchen. New passages get this at once. Existing passages are updated in a separate data run after the release: the fixed glosses first, the full re-gloss course by course; a passage shows its current hints until its new ones land.
The Tutor is on every module. The hand button in the bottom right of a course session now appears on the reading, the level rewrite, the word forms and every exercise, not only on graded items. Its dropdown is grouped by module, each entry reads as a sentence or a task instead of "Item 3", and hovering an entry shows the full text. The per-device switch in the session setup is gone: the Tutor is available wherever your plan includes it, and you confirm a budget the first time you ask. A thread that had answered one question and then refused every second one with an error is fixed.
Notifications render on first open. Achievement rows used to appear without icon or text until you clicked Mark all read; they now render complete at once. A new setting on the Notifications tab chooses what the panel shows: everything, the last week, or only unread.
Course prices follow the chapter's length. Every content word of a chapter is glossed and explained, so a longer chapter is a more expensive course. The word-form line is now priced with a margin instead of at cost, and the course wizard recommends chapters of about 500 words: enough new material without overload. Longer chapters stay available, with a warning and their price shown before you decide.
The Learning page has one row of actions above the filters.
Chips lead to the right page. Each term of a word's grammatical label now maps to the cheat sheet that explains that term, for that part of speech. A term with no page of its own (the indicative, for one) shows a one-line explanation on hover instead of a link to an unrelated rule. On production, more than half of all chips had pointed at the wrong page.
Explanations only claim what the sentence shows. The word-form layer now names the word that governs a case and the article before a noun as literal words of the sentence, and the app rejects an explanation whose named word is not there. A fixed verb-plus-preposition such as sich klammern an is named as such, never as a movement.
Labels lost their noise. Indicative, active and positive no longer appear; every label uses the same school-grammar terms in the same order, in the target language and in English.
The dictionary card shows your two languages. The target language and your native language, each line labelled; English only when it is your native language. "Known from B1" now reads "B1 word", because it names the word's level, not when you met it. The dense explanation folds under Grammar details.
Reading passages are checked. A rendered passage that repeats a phrase or contains a garbled word is retried, and existing passages with a repeated phrase are repaired.
Existing courses are rebuilt. Word forms in every course are regenerated under the new rules over the days after this release; a course shows its previous entries until its new ones land.
