Kurrent Script: German Cursive

Found a box of family letters you can't read? Kurrino teaches you to read Kurrent script and Sütterlin – the old German handwriting used in letters, diaries and church records – so you can read them yourself. No uploads, no account, works offline. LEARN LETTER BY LETTER Twelve short lessons cover the whole alphabet of Kurrent script and Sütterlin: lowercase, capitals, the long s, ß, ch, ck, sch and tz. Every letter writes itself in front of you, with stroke order and a memory tip. A short test after each lesson checks that it has stuck. MASTER YOUR MIX-UPS e or n? h or f? Long s or f? The training remembers which letters of the German cursive you confuse and asks those pairs again until you recognise them reliably. ONE MINUTE OF OLD GERMAN SCRIPT A DAY The daily round: 30 words in 60 seconds, the same for everyone. Compare yourself on the daily leaderboard, keep your streak and challenge others to a duel – in Sütterlin or Kurrent. CONVERTER Type any text and see it in old German handwriting, with the correct long and round s. Share it as an image. DECIPHER HELPER Stuck on one character in a letter? Answer three questions about its shape and Kurrino shows you the matching letters of the German cursive, in Kurrent or Sütterlin.
