When I was in-between jobs, I wanted to do a fun project and improve my German, so I built a little web app called Wörtilizer 🇩🇪⚡
Wörtilizer lets you build up your own private German vocabulary, automatically get the correct der-die-das noun articles, and memorize them via visual cues and a fun quiz.
The web app was built via React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. It uses the german-words and german-words-dict npm packages to discover whether the word is in German, it is indeed a noun, and what is its article. The data is saved in your browser's localStorage, no signup/login needed.
I made it responsive, so it should look nice on any device. There are some limitations, like the dictionary recognizes most words but not all of them. Also, the words that it does recognize need to be accurately spelled, but that's not a bug, it's a German learning feature 😉
Try out Wörtilizer on your next U-Bahn ride instead of doom scrollen. Wörtilizer is open sourced on GitHub, so feel free to steal it or contribute.
