Show HN: Learn German with Games(www.learngermanwithgames.com)
I just started learning German, and it has been a frustrating experience, to say the least. There are so many seemingly arbitrary rules that make pattern recognition very difficult. Therefore, I have been looking for ways to make memorization a bit easier and fun. So, I came up with a bunch of games to make learning German a bit more engaging. Hope you find it useful as well!

Looks like this been made with AI. It seems too "clean" and simple and others have pointed out some issues.

Yep, I definitely leveraged AI when building it; however, it is still built by me. So far it is a weekend project, not meant to be a production-grade app with polish.

Vercel, React, Tailwind, and Supabase. Most likely made with AI. The hover animations area a giveaway too.

Your answer: fünfundzwanzig nach elf. Correct: fünfunddreißig vor zwölf.

Your answer: mittag. Correct: punkt zwölf.

Your answer: acht Uhr. Correct: punkt acht.

Was zum Teufel?

Yeah the clock game is weird. One solution was "fünfundzwanzig vor zwei" which I never heard in my life (native German). At least in my region one would say "fünf nach halb zwei" or "Ein Uhr fünfunddreißig".

A thing that OP might also not know: 'punkt acht' is 'precisely at eight', if you want to say 'eight o'clock', that's 'um acht'. The literally meaning of something being 'um' is, that something has passed fully, or is completed.

Interesting. 'um X' gets labelled wrong as well. I guess at least with times OP needs to throw away the notion of the single correct answer. But yes a lot of these 'correct answers' sound uncommon in talking or in general.

Your first one gets me puzzled. Normally, you take the shorter time to the full hour. Nobody says 'fünfundvierzig vor zwölf', for example. I never said or heard 'fünfunddreißig vor zwölf'. Before half past an hour everyone says '... nach elf'.

It looks interesting!

The Time Short Form Game image has a spelling error, and also the clock time doesn’t match the words.

This smells too much like AI slop.

I am a beginner to the language, and it is helping me remember the artikels and learn new words.

How do you know it's correct.

I am going to the course at the same time and live in a German-speaking country. So, I am able to contextualize and cross-reference my learnings.
