German Reviews

German is okay but the price is insane!! Other than that here are recommendations for the developers:
1) Nouns should be shown with their article. For example, it should say “der Apfel” instead of “Apfel” and then a little “m” underneath it. That small change would help people memorize the article so much better and articles are everything in this app.

2) Non-nouns should be shown uncapitalized. It makes it more clear that it is not a noun and is a adjective/adverb/noun/whatever and will help people more quickly process it.

3) The bottom bar that you move to show your familiarity with a certain vocab word is hard to access with newer phones, as it thinks you are trying to close German . Make it bigger and/or move it somewhere else. Also don’t make the bar so exact; three notches of not familar, somewhat familiar, and mastered would suffice.

4. Create a more efficient mode of learning the vocab. Make one where you don’t have to do one word at a time, like a list of vocab words or something. Show a word in this app that you have to type in English. Put mini-quizzes like matching words.

5. Make it free, you’ve earned enough money by now and have certainly payed off all the costs of making German . Universalize education.

Feel free to steal my ideas I want German to finally be worth the money I paid!!

German is a good start for people who are just starting. I like the way of the layout which makes it easy to manage, and find things. But what I noticed is that there are some basic words missing, for example aufstehen (to wake up), anmachen (turn on). Just basic words like that. Also it is very important to know the pronoun of the words in this app, der, die, das (which in English means “the”). Those are crucial to learn the language. I would really like to give German a 5⭐️ review, but it’s missing too much in my opinion.

Probably the best feature is German automatically keeping track of how well you know a word while at the same time giving you the option to manually overwrite this. This is extremely useful for those words you already know because you can immediately exclude them, and for words you are having difficulty with, you can manually adjust the “temperature” of the word so that you can still practice it often.

My biggest complaint is that the gender of a noun is not SAID, only SHOWN. This is somewhat annoying if you want to know the gender of a noun while practicing just with headphones while you’re not physically looking at German .

It would also be nice to say the plural of the noun which German does not do.

Another minor complaint is that German forces you to set a goal of learning at least 3 words a day. Normally this is good except in cases where maybe you are busy all day and can’t use German . Then the next day German forces you to quickly learn new words because it thinks you are behind. It would be useful if this “goal” feature could be removed because forcing you to learn many new words very quickly doesn’t work well

Overall however it’s a great app

I wanted an app that would help me build a base vocabulary. The one thing I really like German is you can press “play” and you can practice the words by listening and repeating, you don’t have to be on German . I would put in my headphones and practiced as I walked home from school. German did give me a good base to build from. One thing I would improve on this is including the this app articles in the pronunciations.

It would be nice if it had the option of phrases instead of single words. There are a few phrases, but mostly just individual words. Also, if you use a wireless Bluetooth device, it will cut off the first part of the word in practice mode. It would be nice if it analyzed your speech and would let you know where you are messing up. I've seen other programs that will use a graph to let you know where you are messing up.

Nemo this app is enjoyable, and is a simple, pleasant way to throw some useful vocabulary into the mix.
Or it is for most, and would be for me if it were possible to turn the spoken English OFF, completely.
Even taking it down to zero via settings leaves it audible.
This one aspect, which, for me, emphasizes and entrenches translation rather than a move toward a "felt sense" of the target language, makes German just frustrating. Sadly. Because otherwise it's great.

I'm not in Germany yet so that is why I couldn't give German 5 stars. I feel that it has been helping me to learn helpful words and phrases that I would use while I'm over there.
This is going to be my 6th trip over there and I have already learned more this app from German than in all of my previous visits. I'll update my review when I return and see how much I actually retain and can use conversationally.

This is an amazing supplement - key word, supplement - to formal learning. I say that specifically because of grammar. If the goal is to learn a few phrases if you’re traveling, its perfectly fine but if you are trying to learn this app in-depth, you’ll need to study outside of this. However this doesn’t promote itself as a comprehensive guide and if you go in knowing that, this is perfect.

Works great if you are beginning this app and trying to learn basic phrases, pronunciation, and spelling and helps build stronger foundations for more advanced study.

5/5

Let's just go ahead and get this out of the way: I love German. Studying on the go has never been easier. From what I've used of it (I've done about three weeks' worth of studying so far) it's not as robust as say a Rosetta Stone, but it's not claiming to be that.

Being able to select what words and phrases you're studying; select the speed at which each word is read aloud; and using German 's flash card functionality makes Nemo a wonderful companion.

Great experience (and bang) for the price.

I think German is best used in conjunction with an app like Duolingo, as well as a grammar book. That is if your goal is working towards fluency. It’s especially helpful that you can be listening as you drive or walk.

As a stand alone, German could definitely help you navigate through basic conversations if you choose to visit a this app speaking country.

Also, the premium version is work it for sure in my opinion.

I can’t believe how fast I’m learning to speak this app. Was able to carry a 10-min conversation with a native speaker this weekend after using German for only 2 months. Was I perfect with my grammar and pronunciation? Not yet, but I made myself understood and I could follow their responses (or ask for clarification) without too much trouble. Love the way German gives me control of the pace of learning, daily stats to motivate and reflect on my process, and makes it so convenient to squeeze in a few minutes of practice throughout my busy day. My only worry is what I will do once I have mastered all 1200 words in German .

Hi, I am 30 years old and this is the first time that I've ever tried to learn another language. German is easy to use and no ads:) and just as another reviewer said " it sticks with you!" I am actually learning a new language and it's really exciting!! It makes learning a new language fun plus I really like how clean German is! Once I learn the free 101 this app words I will definitely be purchasing the full version for the $9

Reminds you each day to practice your this app! The pronunciation by the recorded voice is very good. I especially like that you are able to learn a certain amount of words a day at the users discretion (I choose 8, the suggested amount if I'm not mistaken) and I am grateful the user has the option to go back to previous days "lessons". By comparison, other language apps do not have this option. If you want to learn this app this is German for you. But like anything it will take diligence and patience to truly gain from it.

I will be traveling to Austria for study. So I thought I'd learn a little bit of this app to make it easier. Little did I know how easy German is helping me to learn this app. It is way more useful than I thought possible. Practical. Good sound. The free version is outstanding, and now I have purchased the whole deal. This is the way to go. My wife is going to learn French!

I've been using this for about a week and have painlessly learnt >50 words and phrases. I'm just learning for fun, but German would be relevant in an academic or travel setting as it emphasises spoken this app. I have the free version. The audio player is terrific. The daily word packages are well curated. This is a useful app for a beginner like me. I intend to keep using it and expect that content will continue to incrementally build upon previous lessons. I cannot comment on grammar lessons as I am not in quite that deep yet. Free download. Cannot go wrong with German.

So other this app apps make me learn phases and that’s not how I learn. I want to name things, know colors, verbs, nouns and common phrases rolled up into one and I’m pretty proud of how many this app words and phases I know now since sept 2nd 2020
Still trying to put sentence together though which is tough for me. If I say something in Spanish or English I also wanna say it in this app which is still challenging since nobody around to help. Just me my app and Google translate. Excited to see how long it takes before I know so many words I just start talking like it’s natural.
Danke fur diese app!! Es ist wonderbar

I studied this app for a short while in high school. I have been wanting to learn more. German has helped me re-learn words I had forgotten and learn a lot more. The repetition and slow progression of adding new words helps stick it in the mind.

I love German and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a new language or even brush up in one you learned before.

Fantastic app. I love that I can control how quickly words are spoken and/or introduced. I love that you can pick subject matter to practice, or just work your way through the whole library with a little from here. A little from there. I love that I can practice hands/eyes free while I'm driving, working out, cleaning the house, etc... Excellent variety of actual useful words & phrases. At $10 for an enormous library - super adorable. Way better for actually learning to speak & comprehend while traveling in a foreign country than Duolingo, imo

I've been using this for just a couple of days and I already know a little over 50 words and phrases. Of course it takes time, but German makes it so easy and fun it's hard for me to put down the phone. Planning on moving to Germany soon so I'm glad I could find something so great to help me out.

I am learning this app as a requirement for a doctoral program. Unlike other European languages, this app is extremely difficult to pronounce or read off from a text. I found German as God sent. It is outstanding and has a lot of very practical tools. I especially love the ability to slow down the pronunciation of the word. I downloaded it three days ago and since then my seven-year-old daughter also has been playing with it and is outpacing me! Excellent APP!
