Learn German grammar through reading — color-coded gender, case highlighting, and interactive exercises

German Reader turns any website into a German grammar lesson — automatically, as you read.

The browser highlights nouns by grammatical gender (masculine, feminine, neuter, plural) using distinct colors. Hover over any word for instant grammar popups showing morphology, case, declension tables, and translations. No textbooks, no flashcard apps — just learn naturally while reading real content.

⸻ KEY FEATURES ⸻

🎨 COLOR-CODED GENDER HIGHLIGHTING Every noun is colored by its grammatical gender. After a few pages, you'll start recognizing der, die, das instinctively — the way native speakers do.

🧠 INTERACTIVE ARTICLE QUIZ Articles are blanked out in the text. Guess der, die, or das as you read. Track your accuracy across all 16 gender × case combinations with a visual accuracy grid.

📖 INSTANT GRAMMAR POPUPS Hover over any word to see its full declension table, morphological breakdown (case, gender, number, tense), governed cases for prepositions, and separable verb prefixes. Shift+hover activates translation.

📚 VOCABULARY WITH SPACED REPETITION Save any word with one click. Review using a 5-box Leitner spaced repetition system with the original sentence for context. Never forget a word again.

📊 READING TRACKER Keep a daily reading streak. Track every German article you've read with reading history and a weekly activity chart to stay motivated and consistent.

🔧 FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE • Customize gender colors for light and dark themes • Choose which genders and cases to highlight • Toggle quiz mode on/off per gender × case combination • Translate to 10+ languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and more) • Works on any German website — news, blogs, Wikipedia, anything
