About this app
Learn German by reading real stories — Grimm fairy tales, Kafka, and classic German literature — adapted to your exact CEFR level. Mitlesen is a German reading app for A1, A2, B1, and B2 learners who want to read German, not just study it.
Reading German is finally easy. Tap any word for an instant translation. Listen to native audio while you read. Get inline explanations of tricky grammar without leaving the page. No more looking up every word in a separate tab. No more texts that are too hard to enjoy or too easy to learn from.
WHY MITLESEN IS DIFFERENT
Every story is professionally adapted for each CEFR level — not just shortened. The A1 edition of Rotkäppchen reads like a proper story, not a vocabulary worksheet. The B1 edition of Die Verwandlung keeps Kafka's voice while staying readable. This is graded German reading done right.
WHAT YOU CAN READ
• Grimm fairy tales: Rotkäppchen, Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten, Der gestiefelte Kater, Hänsel und Gretel, and more
• German classics: Kafka's Die Verwandlung, Storm's Immensee, Keller's Kleider machen Leute
• German short stories: Das Brot, everyday German texts
• New stories added regularly
HOW IT WORKS
• Pick your CEFR level: A1, A2, B1, or B2
• Choose a story from the library
• Tap any word to see its meaning instantly
• Listen to native German audio while you read
• Read inline grammar and culture notes where you need them
• Build vocabulary naturally, in real context
WHO MITLESEN IS FOR
• Self-learners at A1, A2, B1, or B2 level
• Duolingo users ready to go deeper with real German
• Goethe, telc, and TestDaF exam candidates who need reading practice
• Students studying German at school or university
• Anyone who has tried learning German and found real texts too hard to enjoy — yet
Mitlesen is built for learners who believe reading is the fastest, most enjoyable way to learn a language. Instead of drilling flashcards, you read a real story. Instead of memorizing rules, you absorb grammar in context. Instead of fake dialogues, you read the German that German speakers actually grew up with.
LANGUAGES
Translations are currently available in English, with more languages coming soon. Audio is native German throughout.
Whether you're preparing for the Goethe-Zertifikat, studying for telc or TestDaF, or just want to finally enjoy reading in German, Mitlesen gives you the stories, the tools, and the level that fit you.
