Understanding spoken German starts with single words. In this game you hear a German word and pick its English meaning from four options, without seeing how it's written.
Choose a word list from A1 to B1, or the most common German words, and play a round of 10 words.
How it works
- Listen to the German word. Press the play button to hear it again as often as you like, or Show word if you can't make it out.
- Pick the meaning from the four options (or press 1–4 on a keyboard).
- See the answer: the word appears in writing with its article, so sound and spelling connect.
- Continue to the next word. After 10 words you see your score and the words to look at again.
Tips
- Turn your volume up: the word plays as soon as it appears.
- Say the word out loud after you hear it. Speaking it helps you remember it.
- The audio uses your device's German voice. If you hear no sound, check that a German voice is installed.
- Words you miss come back in your next rounds until you get them right.
