Der Die Das Reviews

DerDieDas has helped me learn the gender of some nouns I’m unfamiliar with, but in its current form it’s a little too bare-bones to be helpful. I know DerDieDas is not meant mainly to help with vocabulary, but it would be helpful to see the English translation to jog my memory or help with words that I don’t know. Also, the words seem to lean too heavily on words that follow consistent rules in their genders, like words that end with -in or -ung and are always feminine. I can see how DerDieDas could help with learning this pattern, but once you know it, it becomes repetitive to have so many nouns with the same endings, especially in the “advanced” and “expert” difficulties, which I hoped would include words that have genders that are more difficult to predict and have to be memorized.

This seems to be geared toward learners who already have a very large vocabulary, and has little use to beginner or lower-intermediate level learners. The words in question appear on the screen, but if you don’t already know what the word means, you’re left randomly guessing the article and then never knowing what the word meant! How is a student supposed to remember the article association like that? Big oversight by DerDieDas developers in my opinion, and the reason I won’t be using it anymore.

This has been extremely helpful in memorizing the gender of nouns. I favorite the nouns I am learning and play the game often to instill the gender. I gave it only four stars because I would like to be able to easily see the English translation of the noun. Some words I learned last year, but do not regularly use, I have forgotten their translation. I do, however, remember their gender;)

I wish it would give you the definition of the word as you practice. I imagine DerDieDas is used mostly by people learning German, so it would be helpful for when an unfamiliar word comes up.

If it at least showed the definition after you guessed der/die/das, that would be really helpful.

I do appreciate that DerDieDas exists at all, though! Very good for some practice.

Why aren’t there English translations or translations of the words provided? We’re obviously not going to know all of them, and mastering articles quickly does mean we need to know what the word is in our native language, German isn’t the kind of language where you intuitively just learn the articles of every word like Spanish. Other than that, fun app!

1. First there are no plurals within DerDieDas . Knowing the article plural wether it changes Gender or stays the same but changes ending is important to know.

2. the in app dictionary is top cumbersome. There is a way to change the language to English to see the definition but it has to be Reset each time I believe.

3. the developer hasn’t updated in a year so this is probably falling on def ears.

I use this a app mostly for the game but I wish the German words in the game had the meaning translated. I’m learning a lot the Der, die an Das part, but I do not know the meaning for most of the German words. It would be hard to look up in the dictionary every word very time I get a new word. I will definitely give this application a five star when they add the meaning to the German word in the game.

If you’re serious about German, don’t be without this tool. Not only is it easy to use but it’s lightening fast—really valuable while composing.

Easy to use and i find it very helpful

Translator should be available in other languages too.

This is exactly the tool I need to master the rules as a new learner.

It shouldn't be dependent on Wifi, that makes it inconvenient for on the go learning. There also needs to be a definition somewhere because learning in a vacuum already makes a hard subject impossible if I can't mame connections.

A must have app for anyone looking to learn German

Does what it says. Really easy to use. Lightning quick. I can't say for sure how complete it is because I've only been using it for a day, but it's had every word I've looked up so far.

1- It needs to have basic definition of a word

2- it needs sound

3-it needs usage example in a sentence

The only thing that could help is if the definition of the German words are under them in the game. (Not the german definition but the translation to english)

I appreciate the rule descriptions. Have not seen them elsewhere.

There are only two improvements I would like to see:

1) Option to display definitions of all words on the game screen as words display.

2) Option to repeat an item until a correct response. As one trained in an area of learning psychology, I think it is important that the last response should always be a correct one to help build "muscle memory".

Great application for learning deutsch! You can found all you need about "der die das" and also you can found plural form in details.

Helpful app for those who suffer with the articles in German.
Highly recommended.

If you are an English speaker looking for help on German articles, keep looking. The article "game" gives you words but doesn't tell you what they mean. There is an accompanying dictionary that makes you look up words and then gives you definitions...in German.

You will not be considered fluent until you learn the articles for German nouns. DerDieDas helps you learn the articles in a fun and easy method. At a min you should read the ruled page, it will help beginners and advanced learners.

Ich finde top für Training und Spaß und natürlich auch nützlich. Dankeschön

Thank you! DerDieDas has exactly the information I needed. Die, das or der?
