Built by a German teacher
Hyper-casual German learning games you can play on the bus or in line at the supermarket. Have fun and get better at German - without even noticing.
Deutschable is a growing collection of free German learning games - games in German for grammar, vocabulary, listening and reading. Every game runs in your browser, needs no signup and takes a couple of minutes per round.
Yes - every game on the site is completely free, in its full version. You can just play, ad-free, without an account or an email address. If you want, you can drop your email for a free German shortcuts ebook and be first to know when new games launch. That's it.
No. Every game works without an account. With a free account you can appear on the leaderboards, see your practice stats and streaks, and try new beta games before everyone else.
Absolute beginner (A1) through lower intermediate (B1). Each game is tagged by level, and you can filter the grid by Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Some games stay useful above B1 if a particular pattern still feels slow.
Yes, teachers are welcome to use them in class - as a warm-up, a homework link, or quiet practice. Everything runs in the browser and everything is free, so there is nothing to license or install. If you try them with a group, Stephan would love to hear how it went.
New games land whenever they're actually good. Stephan designs and builds them himself - they're a real passion project, not a content farm. Drop your email to hear about new games as soon as they land.
Yes - the games are built for mobile first. They run in any modern browser (iOS Safari, Android Chrome, desktop), so you can play on the bus, in line at the supermarket, or on the couch. No app to install.
