We have 6 arguments in favor of learning German through games:

Video games expand vocabulary

Every game is a source of new words. If you are interested in the plot, be sure to look in the dictionary and find out the meaning of unknown sentences that you will encounter in the game. Gradually, your vocabulary will be supplemented with new words and expressions.

Games improve listening comprehension

The speech of the characters in the computer games is spoken by native speakers, so you will hear them during the game just as you would listen to a podcast or watch a movie. Many games are subtitled to make the speech easier to understand.

Games make learning grammar easier

In the games, the characters speak real German, which means that you will encounter the grammar in its natural form and not like exercises from a textbook. The word order of the sentences will be remembered by itself.

Games immerse us in the language environment

Everyone knows that creating a language environment is an effective technique for teaching any foreign language. Start playing and you won't notice yourself spending several hours in the company of German. In addition, interest in games will motivate you to read news about them, watch videos about games. These materials will also help you improve your knowledge.

Games increase motivation

The games are so "addictive" that you will be constantly motivated to learn new words, analyze the sentences of the characters in order to move on. We all sometimes get tired of doing similar exercises, reading texts from a textbook, etc. In this case, it pays to switch to games and take a break. You will combine benefit with pleasure and stop torturing yourself with the thought that you spent the whole evening at the computer again. Now your entertainment is also educational material.

Games improve memory, attention, thinking

When learning a foreign language, it is important to have a good memory, because you need to remember new words, grammatical structures, etc. At the same time, you need to be careful not to make mistakes and be able to formulate ideas. Almost every game develops attention, memory, thinking, that is, it improves the abilities with which you learn a new language for yourself.

What genres of games are best for learning German?

In almost every modern game you can choose German and learn phrases from characters' dialogues, words from the menu, etc.

Games with finding objects

You will be given a task, to fulfill it you will visit different places in which you have to find certain objects.

The best choice for beginners. You will have to associate words in English with the pictures, which you will gradually remember.

Examples of games: Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes.

RPG (Role-Playing Game) or computer role-playing games

What it is: The player controls a character with certain characteristics, completes various tasks and gradually improves his skills.

There is a lot of text in such games, in some cases it is also spoken by native speakers. You will need to either read or listen to this text to practice your comprehension skills. In addition, the RPG has dialogs where you have to choose a specific answer. Since the further development of the plot depends on your answer, read the text and understand the meaning of the new words.

Examples of games: The Witcher, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls.

Interactive movie

Interactive movies basically consist of dialogues between in-game characters and Quick Time Events, i.e. scenes in which you have to perform an action very quickly.

The interactive movie is a good aid for German students and people who care about an interesting story rather than the game itself. These games have lots of dialogues from which you can learn interesting words and phrases. In addition, you will listen to the correct German speech.
