Best Apps for Learning German

When it comes to mobile applications for learning German,

there are a lot of them. They are available in almost any mobile

platform. Many of them are free but offer some paid modules

while others include certain cost but provide certain tutoring and

coaching. The following is a much narrowed selection of some

of the best applications for learning German.

Duolingo.

When it comes to learning a new language, Duolingo is

definitively a must. This app is versatile, has an interesting

approach to teaching German, and very importantly, it is free.

The fact that facts are pulled straight from the Internet, makes it

all relevant. It is fresh, fun, and easy to use.

Babbel

Available for Android and iOS, this application is an authority

when it comes to learning languages, German included. It uses a

blend of images, sound, and text to make your learning German

experience the most efficient. The design is pretty sleek and

simple. To help you with pronunciation, the app includes speech

recognition. You can get it for free if you wish to have the basic

template. For more features, it requires payment for a pro

account.

Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone app for Android and iOS boasts being 2014

Academics’ Choice Smart Media Award winner and 2014

Tabby Awards Winner. It is no surprise as Rosetta Stone has a

long-earned reputation as an authority in the immersive method

for teaching languages. The mobile application provides

practical exercises to learn and practice German. The

application in itself is free to download, but to access your

account you must have paid for one. So the app is basically a

mobile version of the web version.

Busuu

Busuu includes a large network community of over 45million

users. This application was PC Magazine´s 2013 “Best Free

Language Learning App”, so it has a say when it comes to

learning German. This application allows you to learn German

for free and with a rather fun interface. It́ s most noticeable

feature is that once you have completed some exercises, you can

share them with a learning community that will help you hone

your skills.

iStart German

This app is especially focused to those who are starting to learn

German. The progression of the app is rather slow hence. It is

available for both the App store and Google Play. It is actually a

bit passive as the student will just stand to listen the tutor give

some grammar and practice on the German language. However,

it is much recommended for beginners in the German language.

Anki

According to Anki developers, you can use it to memorize

anything. This is basically an interactive flashchard app that

allows you to practice your vocabulary. It is user generated and

has some interesting features that make word memorizing more

convenient. The web version and the Android app are

completely free, however the iOS version comes at a cost of

$24.99.

Memrise

Memrise is very similar to Anki, it is an interactive flash card

app that allows you to memorize vocabulary. Like Anki,

Memrise uses a spaced repetition system but also adds a

mnemonics feature to help you make your terms less

forgettable. Get it both on the App store and Google Play.

Deutschakademie

This one is recommended for those that have some basic

German knowledge as it focuses on learning German grammar.

The app does not have the best design but it is highly functional.

It has an extensive lessons course for free. You can obtain it at

Google Play.
