The city: German vocabulary drill

Sixteen questions on eight words from the the city guide: recall the German word, recognise it by ear, use it in a sentence, and say what it means. Each new round reshuffles the words and the wrong options, and every answer you miss is saved on this device in a review list. Every answer plays aloud, and every sentence is glossed word by word.
