German that grades itself.

Crosshire Learn teaches German to non-native speakers from A1 to C1, across all six skills — reading, listening, speaking, writing, vocabulary and grammar. It's built and in use. This is a plain tour of what's in it and how to use it, leading with the parts that actually make it worth your time: the grading, the reader, the vocabulary, and the test that aims at your weak spots. Each of those gets its own detailed guide after this — here's the whole first.

Eighty-six chapters, A1 to C1, split into three tracks that share one vocabulary and grammar library — same engine, different register. Pick the one that matches your life.

Not sure you're ready? Grundlagen (Kapitel 0) is the A1 starter — the first words, sounds and meanings — so someone who knows almost no German still has a door in.

You don't have to plan anything. The shortest useful loop is five moves:

This is the one to understand first. You write a real German text — an email, a complaint, an opinion — and the engine reads the whole thing and returns three layers at once, in seconds. Here it is on one real learner's email.

Speaking works the same way, on your voice. Record straight into the browser or on your phone; the engine grades your answer on content, fluency, vocabulary and grammar, and hands back a model answer you can play and shadow line by line. Prompts run from describe-this to react-and-role-play to give-your-opinion, and the length scales with your level — a short turn early on, a proper C1 monologue later. It's the part of language learning you can almost never get enough of from a human, available on demand, without a partner.

The lessons are finite; German isn't. So paste a URL, or drop in text, a PDF, an image or a Word file, and the reader marks the hard words at your level, names the grammar patterns, and lets you move any new word into your own vocabulary with one click. A real newspaper article, an official letter, a tenancy contract — all become readable, not just the prepared material. Translation is there on demand in your language, and nothing is stored: the text is processed for that session only.

The words don't live scattered through chapters; they sit in one library the chapters link into, so a word is defined once and reused everywhere.

Comprehension and exercises are auto-checked, with graded hints and an instant score. The difference is what happens when you get something wrong: on request the engine generates new, targeted questions exactly where you're still weak — so practice converges on what you find hard, not a fixed worksheet everyone gets. Each chapter then closes with a short test drawn from what you've just done.

That's the whole thing in one pass. Each selling point here earns its own close-up next: the writing grader (how the four criteria and the corrections actually work), the speaking grader, the reader, the vocabulary library, and the adaptive test — one detailed guide apiece. If you only do one thing after reading this, open the course and grade a single sentence; that's the fastest way to feel the difference.
