Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Learn German from scratch, an app by Fastlingo, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Learn German from scratch kind of feels like flipping through a language workbook, just on your PC or laptop instead of actual paper. Each “page” shows you one German sentence at a time, with helpful notes up top and new words listed below, so you’re not lost if something’s unfamiliar. You read the example and the explanations, then tap a button to see the translation — so there’s a little suspense, but also a built-in way to test yourself before seeing the answer.

The way it slowly introduces more features is actually thoughtful; the app doesn’t throw everything at you right away. Only after you reveal a translation do new buttons or parts of the page get unlocked, and that’s on purpose. It might feel simple at first, but it keeps things clean and less overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out. You can flip pages forward and back with arrows, making it easy to find your place if you want to review something. Anyone wondering how it all fits together can check a “how to use” section in the menu for extra tips. Using it on BlueStacks makes it a bit easier if you’d rather learn on a bigger screen, but either way, it’s straightforward without a lot of clutter. It’s probably a good pick for someone who likes to learn step by step, instead of everything at once.
