About

Reflexive Verbs Trainer

Features
Read full description

Make German reflexive verbs easier to remember. Each of the 116 verbs has an illustrated scene with a mirror object that reminds you to learn the verb with sich. Practise in two steps: choose the verb that matches the scene, then complete a sentence with the correct reflexive pronoun. Spaced repetition brings verbs back for review and keeps track of your progress. Explore the illustrated verb wall, listen to German pronunciation, and use the compact grammar guide to review reflexive pronouns, Akkusativ and Dativ, word order, and prepositions. Tap German examples for an English translation. All lessons, pictures and audio are included. The app works offline, with no account, ads or in-app purchases. Your progress stays on your device. Made by SmarterGerman. I built this app for my learners, and my full courses take you through all of German from A1 to C1: smartergerman.com
