They also have a longer list with 10.000 words. http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/Papers/top10000de.txt http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/Papers/top10000de.txt Google gives you 80% right translations, a more reliable dictionary is PONS (http://de.pons.com/%C3%BCbersetzung http://de.pons.com/%C3%BCbersetzung). It also has an API, but you can only shoot 1000 free queries a month. Another good dictionary is dict.leo.org, but unfortunately there is no API. A last good option is dict.cc; you can download their corpus and use it programmatically with tools like this: https://github.com/cofi/PDictCC https://github.com/cofi/PDictCC

  I've changed the list of words to the Leipzig uni list: https://billfranklin.eu/german/data.json https://billfranklin.eu/german/data.json Thanks both!

    Better, but still confusing or wrong sometimes. I'd recommend to get a ready-made flash card collection from somewhere and try to import that. Especially for conjugated forms or words that mean different things in different context making good flash cards it gets difficult, there are abbreviations in there, ... EDIT: or add a comment/vote function and hope that many visitors converge to a good set ;)

      Or you could ask Jonas.
