Not to be missed – Babbel – Learn German Review

Who knew you could teach yourself German using only an inexpensive app? This one helps you learn vocabulary, grammar, word order, and pronunciation. It features brief, realistic conversations instead of the freestanding, perfectly formed sentences you see in books and in other apps. When you make a mistake, it tells you instantly, by means of a popup tip, what you've done wrong. Also, I like that you can either progress through a comprehensive course at a given level, e.g., Beginner 1, Beginner 2, etc., or choose an area of interest, such as a subject (Food and Wine, Culture, Everyday Life) or grammatical category (Nouns, Verbs, etc.) My only criticism is that you have to switch to a physical keyboard (if you have one) in order to capitalize nouns. The onscreen keyboard in the app makes no distinction between caps and lower case. Fortunately, once you click Enter to check your answer, the capitalization shown on the screen does appear as it should.
