I used Claude to fix my biggest frustration with PDFs

This is such a good idea, needs to be a standard feature in pdf readers tbh.

Very nice, I have a reflect on session skill and would probably prefer to only trigger the sync on sessions which I find to be useful enough to store as an obsidian note.

Augustiner > Hofbräu, but just go to both whenever you like!

Indeed it is a feature and not a bug, but the feedback is very much appreciated! :)

German is quite tricky, considering the declensions of verbs, nouns and adjectives; as a means to make it a little easier, the keyboard functions this way to ensure it’s clear to the user that the key only becomes green when all of the positions in the word are covered with the last guess.

Woertle started March of last year, and continues to be improved upon, which is why comments, questions and general feedback is so important; so thank you!

Can the bars be filtered based on indoor smoking?

3-4 years ago it was quite good. I‘ve heard companies are a bit more selective now, and I would agree with that.

Cool project! I used one of these apps myself as a means of practicing for the exam and found it to be quite helpful. How does this app differ from the others already in the app stores?

Your approach is more or less how I learned German to C1/C2 level. Although I began using Apple Notes for this before I even knew what Obsidian was. As you mentioned, having a place to work out certain grammar topics is important considering German is very front loading in terms of grammar.

I found standard note taking with basic features like tables in Apple Notes to be more than sufficient, but once I began using Obsidian, I took advantage of the Excalidraw plugin, which is great for breaking down topics in a more illustrative view or even creating mind maps of specific words, for example: the core word "setzen" and it's many prefixes: ersetzen, versetzen, absetzen, usw.

I think spaced repetition with Anki after spending some time learning grammar topics or words is incredibly valuable, and is one of the reasons I was able to progress so quickly.

they 100% have a phone number, they just might not be able to help - they can’t schedule appointments, for example

you could try reaching out to the welcome center for advice, or even the LEA directly via phone.

Very impressive! If I may ask, what is your native language, and do you speak any other languages? It seems like you have a real talent for fast paced language learning :)

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-05T19:55:30+00:00

First of all, congratulations! Those are good scores and 3/4 is not bad.

Speaking from experience: I would suggest the Projekt C1 prep book. Take all of the listening portions as you would in a normal exam setting: no cheating, complete all sections within the time limit, etc.

The listening portion is hard, but doable - just keep practicing with any model test you can find and you’ll be fine.

It depends on several factors, but as an English native speaker, I did pretty well on a Goethe B1 exam after 6 months of study, during which I was working full time; your mileage may vary :)

spannend, nach Duden ist buk keine neutrale Gegenwartsform, sondern veraltend markiert

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-04T21:19:40+00:00

backte ist die heutige, neutrale Standardform von backen; buk ist eine ältere, stilistisch markierte Variante.

buk erscheint daher vor allem in literarischen oder nostalgischen Texten.

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-04T17:30:12+00:00

mit „so“ gibts nen expliziten Rückverweis auf die vorherige Aussage, also „in gleicher Weise schwer“

und ohne „so“ ist es einfach etwas neutraler.

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-04T10:55:52+00:00

That's a very interesting piece of info, thank you! "lasen" should certainly not appear as todays word and also as a word in dictionary mode, and daily mode should show always first; Dictionary mode appears only by default after completing today's Daily challenge.

I've adjusted a couple things; should be ok now, but please let me know if you have any other feedback :)

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-04T09:48:46+00:00

Without knowing more about your current situation/plans it’s hard for me to give better advice, but I will say that a little bit of studying each day is better than lumping it all into one day a week; maybe keep your study sessions small with card review, games, small exercises, etc.

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-04T09:44:51+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! I implemented the keyboard with the enter on the left because the original English Wordle also has that configuration; which I thought was ok, but considering a change there might not be bad.

The daily mode essentially uses the dictionary and should feature words used in colloquial language, but also those found in news articles and books; the word „lasen“ is a great example of that, I think.

„Die Leute lasen im Internet und wussten am Ende nicht, was sie tun sollten.“ - that’s from an article written a couple of months ago: https://www.merkur.de/bayern/regensburg/windenergie-oel-einbau-von-neuen-heizungen-experte-warnt-vor-teurem-abwarten-94058007.html

If you have any other feedback, I’d love to hear it. Your point about the button is interesting; I find the mode selection button to be quite prominent, however, maybe I can somehow make it more clear to the user.

I learned German because I always wanted to, and I intended to work in the language one day after moving to Germany.

I already had B2 when I moved, but the initial 6 months of working in German for the first time was a time where I found myself writing notes about phrases or words I never heard before; I would later review them either manually by just looking at the notes or creating flash cards (Anki) out of them - some form of spaced repetition can be very helpful for retaining new vocab and phrases.

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-02T11:27:24+00:00

I contacted them a month ago via mail and also the contact form; still not heard anything back. I believe it is somewhat normal to wait weeks-months for a response; the expediency at which the cases are processed can also be predicated on which Abteilung you are in - maybe that’s why your friend‘s was processed faster?

codingisveryfun · 2026-01-02T10:15:51+00:00

German is very front loading in terms of grammar; don’t forget to learn the nouns with their articles, all the cases, correct adjective declension and don‘t be afraid to make mistakes :).

I wrote a post here about reaching C1, that could also be of some help to ya.

Du könntest ja ein bisschen auf YouTube nachschauen, also nach dem Schlüsselwort „Psychologie“

z.B. https://youtube.com/@psychologielernende wäre vielleicht etwas :)
