Description

With “Learn German – The City of Words” the Goethe-Institut is issuing an online game for German learners at Level A1. This free game combines elements from hidden-object puzzles with both co-operative and competitive multi-player games where everyone learning German at beginners’ level can expand their vocabulary skills and compare themselves with others. Playfully presented language exercises transfer basic grammar structures of the German language. The playful approach of “Lern Deutsch – Die Stadt der Wörter” shows that learning German is not difficult at all. And it’s fun! Update: Now with new “Unicampus” level

Every time when I played mini games, it took more time on refreshing. Sometimes I play game with people, it told me “The avatar was deleted”, but when I clicked the same person again, their account were still there. Also I was logged out several times, it took me a lot of time on re log in. The sever connection seem to be a big issue. Please fix them.

Good Concept, Several Issues

I HIGHLY doubt that 20-40 people have deleted their accounts between the times that I log off and log back in, as this happens every time even if I've only been away for 10 minutes or less. I also have an issue where I'll be playing a mini game with a particular player who has been consistently online and we are both learning and getting better, and then suddenly I can no longer invite them to play a game with me, and it's not because they refuse to play the game with me, because the invitation won't send even if they are offline (a player can't reject a mini game invitation when they are offline, can they??)...also this only happens with the better of the two mini games (the one where you listen and write, not the silly speed game that doesn't actually help you learn the words). I am able to send invitations for the silly speed game but still can't send one for the better game. So developers, what gives? My last comment is this - the game gets boring once you've learned all of the words. Please add more words, or if this is too expensive to keep the game kostenlos -- maybe you could provide a way to buy (for a reasonable price, like 0,99 for each bundle) a larger vocabulary set? UPDATE: They've updated the game and awesome news is that they have added a way to increase vocabulary. The downside is that the thumbnails for the new words are much more complicated (busy) and will slow your speed and ruin your previous scores considerably in the games as you sluggishly try to figure out what each of these new photos are supposed to represent and then remember which new word goes with each busy photo. 🤦🏻‍♀️ UPDATE x 2: The busy pictures are ok after getting used to them. Still leaving the review at three stars because I still can't send invites to several players that I've been regularly playing the mini games with. I can only send the speed game invite but not the word choice game. PLEASE fix this. It's extremely annoying. UPDATE x 3: Very buggy (even more so than usual) lately. Also a misspelling (Verband plural was misspelled), and when you enter "der KFZ-Mechaniker" into the fill-in-the-blank, it tells you that you got it wrong but shows literally the same "der KFZ-Mechaniker" as the correct answer above my exact same crossed-out answer. ??? Also the lamer of the two games - the speed game - it bugged on me last night and so I played twice in a row against the same person and my second score went as their score, and then I received a notification saying it was my turn again but it was just me playing my side and then their side and then my side again... really bizarre bug. Also the way that the minigame invitations and completed notifications are set up is quite bad. You have to scroll for ages to see the completed notifications and get a chance to reinvite a player to play the game with you, but it's super easy to accidentally delete your completed notifications and then never get the chance to reinvite a player that you were playing with... please just put these completed notifications in a separate tab. Besides, it's super annoying to have to scroll through all of your existing sent and received games to get to them. UPDATE x 4: Another complaint (yeah, I know, sorry): throughout the city of words you see other players around the world who are online appear. My complaint is that from day one I've seen a player reings and a player Baravatar and they never play the minigames and never will, it seems. Why must they always be online and appearing in the city??? Plenty of other people who are online and actually play the games rarely or never appear in the city, and believe me, I scour the city looking for people to play the minigames with.. most of the players I find linger in the city for weeks, never gain points, never play the games, and thus take up space that people who are actually trying to improve their word retention through practising in the better of the two games could fill. Why? Why are Dhievapoetry and avand always lingering in the city? They'll never play the games, so why are they always there???

Looks nice, but audio doesn’t work

I have a lot of high hopes for this app provided that the audio bug is worked out — I’m on an iPhone 6s+ running the latest iOS. The alp looks really nice, and ...I have a lot of high hopes for this app provided that the audio bug is worked out — I’m on an iPhone 6s+ running the latest iOS.

I like everything about the game so far, except that when I decline a challenge the person will try again and again. I just want to turn it off for now.

I haven't been able to put it down since I got it this afternoon!Its absolutely perfect for beginners! I find it way more engaging than Duolingo and Busu...plus its free!! Its really helping me learn words and their gender so fast and easy...Super smart way to do things! But I have a question, I would really like to participate in minigames but I do not understand how. WhenI click that I want to challenge someone a message pops up saying that s message will be sent to me once they have completed their turn...But where do I receive the message and when can I have a go at the minigame and do I get to choose a topic? There doesn'tseem to be much info about this. I would love some help! Cheers
