Learn German Words That Actually Stick
Level-based vocabulary, from A1 to C1. Clean word cards, spaced repetition review, and natural example sentences with no clutter and no fluff.
Most apps throw 500 random words at you. LUMO gives you a clear path.
Random word lists don't map to how your brain actually learns a language. LUMO Deutsch is built around one idea: structure beats volume.
One Path, Not a Pile
No endless word banks to get lost in. Just one clear route from A1 to C1, five words at a time.
Built to Be Finished
Most vocab apps are built to keep you scrolling. LUMO is built to get you to C1 where every module moves you forward and nothing is filler.
German-Only Focus
Not a multi-language app doing German as an afterthought. Every design decision from the article color-coding to the example sentences exists because German grammar demands it.
A complete system built for real retention
No random word lists. LUMO combines linear module progression, multi-sensory exercises, and dedicated retention studios.
Locked Module Progression
Select your starting level from A1 to C1. Each module contains exactly 5 curated words. Pass the end-of-module assessment to unlock the next step on your path.

Is LUMO free to use?
LUMO is free to download. Each level's first 10 modules, the Review Studio, and Article Studio practice for any word you've already learned are all free. Unlocking the remaining modules and Article Studio practice for words you haven't studied yet requires a subscription.
Do I need an internet connection to use LUMO?
You need an internet connection the first time you open the app to download your content. After that, LUMO works fully offline — study anywhere, even without a connection.
What German level does LUMO cover?
LUMO takes you from A1 to C1 based on the official CEFR framework, with vocabulary organized into structured, level-appropriate modules.
How does the Der/Die/Das Article Studio work?
Article Studio quizzes you on the gender of every noun you've learned so far. You'll see a word and choose der, die, or das, with instant feedback on each answer.
What is Review Studio?
Review Studio is LUMO's spaced repetition tool. Bookmark any word you find tricky while studying, and Review Studio resurfaces it right before you're likely to forget it.
How many words are in each module?
Every module contains exactly 5 words. After studying them, you'll complete a short set of exercises before the next module unlocks.
Is LUMO available on Android?
LUMO is available on iOS. Android is coming very soon.
How is LUMO different from other vocabulary apps?
LUMO focuses on structure over volume — one guided path through carefully chosen, high-frequency words instead of an overwhelming, random word bank. It's also built specifically for German, so every detail (like article color-coding) exists because German grammar demands it.
