Core and topic collections
Every language has a core: the thousand or so words and patterns that everybody needs. Around it sits the vocabulary of your own life, which is different for a musician, an engineer and a nurse. Taalhammer gives you both.
At the top of Browse is Your A1 → C2 path: the Core courses, in order, from your first day to an advanced level. Each one picks up where the previous one stops, and each holds around two thousand sentences. Between the sentences you get grammar notes, verb conjugations and short stories, and they come back in your repetitions like everything else.
Topic collections are about one subject: travelling, a job interview, flirting. On a computer, choose Topic in the panel on the left. On a phone, scroll down to Topic collections. Open one to see its level and sentences before you add it.
Learn the core so you can say anything, and add topics so you can say what is yours. Taalhammer mixes both into one stream of learning.
