Rocket German Community

I'm new to Rocket German but enjoying it thoroughly. I have noticed a couple issues with the MegaGerman Games though. The MegaVerbs game is very useful for past and present verbs. For future verbs I notice an issue I always get almost 100% correct because the verb is always the same as the infinitive. The word that changes in the future verb section is the word 'will', e.g. Er wird, wir werden, etc. Yet that part of the phrase is provided for you. It would be useful if they updated the program so for future tense it only provided the pronoun and left you to complete the rest.

The other thing I have noticed is with the MegaVocab. If you click on more then one category then the game becomes pretty easy and probably less educational because the answers to choose from are picked from accross all the categories. For example, if I click on colour and it shows me dark red and I have the options blau, lila, dunkel rot & rosa to pick from then I actually have to know the German for dark red. If I pick a bunch of categories and then get shown dark red with the answers being dunkel rot, Autobahn, viertel nach vier & Apfel, well, in this case I will probably guess correctly even if I don't have a clue what the German is for dark red.

I still find the programs useful, I just pick only one category at a time but it would be my suggestion that whoever programmed it see if they could have the answers be picked from the same or similar categories to make it a little more challenging.

Other then that, I'm loving every minute of learning German. I just can't wait until I'm fluent enough to move there.

Guten Tag,
thanks for your feedback. If you really want to test your German skills I would recommend to only test yourself on one category at a time. It's also proven that if you learn and practice vocabulary in categories it is easier to retain them,
because they are in context and not just random.
However, even if you select many different categories you will still get a good benefit. Even if you just go through the game and get every answer right your brain will process the information again and it will cement in your memory, which is great.

Once again, thanks for your feedback.
