Our adaptations

Frequent words were selected with wordfreq (Robyn Speer, data CC BY-SA 4.0), together with course vocabulary. We shortened glosses, selected translations and compacted inflection tables. Our EN/AR meanings replace source meanings for course words; missing course words were added. These meanings inside dictionary files also use CC BY-SA 4.0. Frequency values are not published. This licence covers dictionary data, not app code or our separately displayed examples and reading texts.

The course and Nahla

Course meanings, examples and reading texts are authored by Wortwabe. Goethe/ÖSD lists were checklists, not copied texts. Nahla and Wortwabe artwork are original brand illustrations. Wortwabe is independent of Goethe, ÖSD and telc.
