Frequently asked questions

sofapiano is a German learning platform built around the translation method. You learn German the way it is actually used — through real sentences, everyday situations and active translation.

Instead of memorizing isolated rules, you train grammar in context and pick up authentic expressions used in daily conversations.

All exercises are available for the levels A1, A2, B1 and B2 — from complete beginner to upper intermediate.

Take the free level test. After 10 rounds of translation and listening tasks you get a score and a clear recommendation which level to practise.

Yes. At A1 you start with short, simple sentences, and hints help you build each sentence step by step.

Yes. At B1 and B2 you work on longer sentences, natural expressions and more complex grammar — ideal to get past a plateau and write more precisely.

You can try the exercises right away. With a free account you can track your progress and use all tools and tests — registration takes less than a minute.

You see a sentence in English or Spanish and translate it into German. Then you compare it with the solution. Actively building sentences trains grammar, vocabulary and word order at the same time — in context.

sofapiano focuses on real language use instead of random word lists or multiple-choice tests. You produce German yourself, which is exactly the skill you need when you speak and write.

You can practise from English or from Spanish. Switch the language anytime with the EN/ES button in the trainer.

Consistency beats long sessions. A few sentences every day — 10 to 15 minutes — are enough to make real progress.

Mixed Translations train the phrases native speakers use in daily life — mixed topics, no grammar focus.

Grammar-Specific Translations let you choose a grammar topic and apply its rules in real sentences.

Type your German translation and press Check. Hint reveals the first letters, the speaker icon reads the sentence aloud, the star saves it to your profile and Next brings a new sentence.

Green means correct, yellow almost correct and red incorrect or missing. The alternative sentence below the solution shows a synonym or a grammatical variation.

In puzzle mode you build the sentence from word tiles instead of typing it — handy on a phone or when you want to focus on word order.

Besides the exercises you can use the Listening trainer, the Word context search, the Word video search with real native speakers and the Synonym finder. All tools are listed on Learning tools.
