One Word at a Time
I tell stories about language learning through the numbers, one word at a time.
After learning 10,000 German words, I'm here to bring language learning tips inspired by data.
For language learning apps, I've used Anki for years to build flashcards and familiarity with German and Hebrew along with other topics. I've gone through the "learn German for beginners" process, well past the A1 or A2 level and hope to share how to get through B1 or B2 to native speaker levels of fluency. I've read books, watched movies, listened to podcasts and binged shows in my target languages. Let data-driven insights help you build a study plan.
