German for Austria.
German for Austria.
One day at a time.
Exam date booked, a letter from the Magistrat on the table? Sprachnest gives you a daily portion of German: words in sentences from Austrian life, grammar where you guess the rule from examples first, and practice in the ÖIF A2 and DTÖ B1 exam format. No account — everything stays on your phone.
In testing now · coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
Daily portion
One portion a day. The app plans it for you.
Set your level, exam date and pace — intensiv, regulär or locker. Sprachnest puts together your Tagesration: three steps, always in this order.
02
New topic
New words and the next grammar lesson — as much as your pace allows.
03
Dictation
One sentence by ear: listen, type it, compare word by word.
04
Streak and readiness
A streak with freezes for the days you miss. Readiness shows where you stand and whether your pace fits your exam date.
Words
Der, die or das? Ask the King, the Queen or the Baby.
Over 2,800 words from A1 to B2 in 10 ÖIF topics — work, offices, housing, health, shopping, education, transport and more. Every word comes in sentences from Austrian life.
The article becomes a character
derKing
dieQueen
dasBaby
Every noun gets a little scene with its character. You remember the picture — and the article comes with it.
Sentences from Austrian life
Magistrat, AMS, e-card, Hausverwaltung, Wien, Graz, Linz — the words you'll actually need, in the places you'll need them.
Hear every word
Words and sentences read aloud in German — tap the speaker on any card.
Your own associations
A word won't stick? Write your own memory hook right on the card.
Spaced repetition (FSRS)
Rate each answer — Again, Hard, Good, Easy — and FSRS schedules the next review for that one card.
Grammar
Guess the rule before you read it.
116 lessons from A1 to B2, mapped to the ÖIF Einstufungsmatrix. Each lesson opens with examples: you spot the pattern and put your guess into words. Then the rule and a short practice — and the lesson moves into your daily review.
- Discover — examples with the key form highlighted
- Rule — short, in Ukrainian or Russian
- Practice — then spaced review in your daily portion
B2 is a preview for now: grammar and words only.
Exam training
Exam day, minus the surprises.
Lesen, Hören, Schreiben, Sprechen and Werte und Orientierung — our own task banks in the ÖIF A2 and DTÖ B1 format, with timers and points. Then the full mock exam: about two hours for A2.
- Timers and points, like on exam day
- A full mock exam, part by part
- Optional AI feedback on Schreiben and Sprechen
Sprachnest is an independent app, not affiliated with ÖIF or ÖSD. All tasks are our own, written in the exam format — not copies of official ones.
Speaking
Rehearse the Magistrat before you go.
Model dialogs from everyday situations: listen, learn the key phrases, then take a role — speech recognition checks what you said. In your daily review, speak cards ask for a whole sentence out loud. And for the exam: Sprechen with an examiner.
- Listen · Phrases · Role play
- Speak cards in your daily review
- Sprechen with a scripted or AI examiner
AI, if you want it
AI is optional. Your key, your call.
Sprachnest works fully without AI. For extra feedback, add your own Anthropic or OpenAI key: requests run only when you tap, go straight to that provider, and the key stays in your device's secure storage.
Schreiben feedback
Your letter assessed against the exam rubric.
Sprechen: examiner and score
An AI examiner leads the conversation, then scores it by the rubric.
New Lesen and Hören sets
Fresh practice sets in exam format whenever you want more.
A card from your photo
Turn your own photo into a Sprechen picture card.
Association ideas
Suggestions for a memory hook when a word won't stick.
Only when you tap
Every AI request starts with your tap — nothing is sent on its own.
Privacy
What you learn stays on your phone.
Your progress says a lot about you — your level, your mistakes, your exam date. So Sprachnest keeps it where it belongs.
Only on your phone
Cards, progress, your texts and your profile live in a local database on the device. HollyByte runs no servers for the app and never receives them.
No account
No sign-up, no email, no password. Install and start.
No usage statistics
The app has no analytics, no ads and no crash-reporting SDKs. With AI on, only what you send goes to the provider you chose.
