Metkagram

Metkagram is a reference for annotated English and German phrases at B2 to C1 level. It combines reusable patterns, side by side contrasts and deliberate practice, and exposes the underlying data in a machine readable form for learners, teachers and language tool builders.

Metkagram is a language reference built around annotated phrases rather than generic word lists. The collection brings together English and German examples, with each entry showing the pattern inside a real sentence and marking up the parts that matter. The stated target is the B2 to C1 band, so the material assumes a learner who already handles everyday communication and now needs control over nuance, collocation and register. The site is organised around reusable patterns. Instead of learning one phrase at a time, a learner can pull out the underlying structure, see how it behaves in a sentence, and then apply it to new content. Contrasts are a core part of the design: English and German are placed side by side so that differences in word order, case or idiom become visible rather than being discovered by accident. Deliberate practice sits alongside the reference material, which makes Metkagram closer to a study workbook than to a dictionary. Three audiences are addressed directly. Learners use it for self study and revision. Teachers can draw on the annotated examples when preparing lessons or explaining a structure in class. Developers and language tool builders can consume the machine readable data, and the site states that no account is required for that path. The interface is presented as a layer on top of a single shared library, so the underlying language content does not change when a different view is chosen. Metkagram sits in the same space as grammar reference sites and flashcard apps, but it is narrower in scope and more opinionated about level. It does not attempt to cover beginner vocabulary or run conversation practice. What it offers is a curated, annotated corpus at an advanced level, with an open data route for people building their own tools. Pricing is not stated on the homepage, so cost and licensing terms need to be confirmed directly with the project before committing a class or a product to it.
