This is the third of the MegaGames. The other two games help you to learn comprehension and vocabulary. you can read about these other two games at MegaAudio and MegaVocab. If you want to learn about the course in it’s entirety then check out the Rocket German learning lounge, Rocket German audio course and the Rocket German review. Otherwise, learn all about MegaVerb below.
German grammar is quite difficult to master and learning it rote fashion can be, well, a bit tedious. MegaVerb is a way to practice your verb conjugation that makes this important part of your language skills that little bit easier.
MegaVerb starts by offering you the tense that you want to perfect. You can select more than one tense if you feel confident. If you are not so good with verb conjugation then concentrate on one to begin with.
Once you have selected the tense/s you go to another screen that gives you the infinitive of the verb and the person that is conjugating the verb. Your task is to type in the correct verb and ending for that person. This is actually quite difficult, especially as you have to get the exact spelling correct. This includes accented characters.
You are asked 25 questions and given four attempts to type in the correct answer. At the end of the questions you are given a score. This score indicates your level of understanding and can tell you if you need more practice.
So you will learn spelling, included accented characters, using this game. If you use it often, you will develop a good understanding of how a verb should look for a tense and person. Although this is purely a writing game, it will help you remember your verb conjugation if you stick with it. It beats learning it from a book and can be played as a break from the proper German lessons and audio in the Rocket German course.
