Free Bubble Pop

German word match: a free vocabulary game

Recognition comes before production: before you can spell a word you have to know it on sight. Work, travel, the city and the natural world. The next layer out. Every bubble carries the article, so the gender is never separated from the noun.

85 German nouns paired with their English meaning
Recognition speed, the first thing that has to work before anything else does
The article shown with every noun, so the gender comes along for free

Noun genders and plurals from German Wiktionary via the german-nouns dataset (CC BY-SA 4.0). These sets are hand-picked everyday nouns, not official CEFR word lists: the Goethe-Institut lists are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this German game free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up, no download, and no account.

How many nouns does it cover?

85 in this set, and there is a second set at a different level. Every noun is listed on this page as well as in the game.

Are these A1 or A2 nouns?

Neither, and any site telling you otherwise is guessing. The Goethe-Institut CEFR word lists are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced, so these are hand-picked everyday nouns grouped by how early you are likely to meet them.

Why is the article shown with every noun?

Because a German noun without its gender is only half learned. Meeting Tisch as der Tisch every time is far more effective than learning the word now and the gender later.

Can I make a game from my own German word list?

Yes, in the StudyArcade app. Paste any list of vocabulary and it builds a playable game from it.

Build a game from your own notes

This is a fixed sample. In the app you can paste any list or upload notes and get a playable game from them.
