Good to know
What exactly is Heidi?
Heidi is a calm, beautiful way to build real German vocabulary — 3,092 carefully chosen words, each on a quiet card with its article, an English meaning, a natural example and warm native audio. You practise with gentle spaced review that brings words back just before you'd forget them. Beyond the cards, a growing library helps it click: der / die / das gender guides, grammar cheat sheets, email and letter templates, exam prep and printable study sheets.
Who is it for — and what level?
Heidi takes you from your very first words right up to B1 — the “independent user” level on the European framework (CEFR), and the level Germany asks for permanent residency and citizenship. The 3,092 words are the practical core of everyday German, so complete beginners grow into the list while intermediate learners use it to fill the gaps.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Try 10 cards free, with no account and no sign-up needed. When you're ready, you unlock everything with a single one-time payment.
What does it cost?
Heidi is a single one-time payment of €29.99, yours forever, with no subscription and no recurring charge — where most German apps cost €10–€15 every month.
What if it isn't right for me?
You're covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Heidi isn't for you, email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
How is this different from Duolingo, Babbel or Anki?
No gamified noise, no streak pressure and no monthly bill. Heidi is calmer than Duolingo, pays-once unlike Babbel, and comes ready-made — beautifully designed with native audio and a curated word list — so you skip the deck-building Anki asks of you.
What devices does it work on? Do I need internet?
Heidi runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet or laptop — nothing to install. An internet connection is needed to stream the native audio and sync your progress.
