Frequently asked questions

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Yes - every game on the site is completely free, in its full version. You can just play, ad-free, without an account or an email address. If you want, you can drop your email for a free German shortcuts ebook and be first to know when new games launch. That's it.

Do I need an account?

No. Every game works without an account. If you sign in, you can save scores and keep a list of games to continue later.

What German levels are covered?

Absolute beginner (A1) through lower intermediate (B1). Each game is tagged by level, and you can filter the grid by Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Some games stay useful above B1 if a particular pattern still feels slow.

Can I use these games with my students?

Yes, teachers are welcome to use them in class - as a warm-up, a homework link, or quiet practice. Everything runs in the browser and everything is free, so there is nothing to license or install. If you try them with a group, Stephan would love to hear how it went.

How often are new games added?

New games land whenever they're actually good. Stephan designs and builds them himself - they're a real passion project, not a content farm. Drop your email to hear about new games as soon as they land.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes - the games are built for mobile first. They run in any modern browser (iOS Safari, Android Chrome, desktop), so you can play on the bus, in line at the supermarket, or on the couch. No app to install.

Who's behind Deutschable?

Stephan Brenner - a professional German and English teacher since the early 2000s, teacher trainer, and co-founder of Expath, a well-known Berlin language school. He builds every game himself and uses them to learn French on the go.

Can I send feedback or suggest a new game?

Please do! Stephan is always eager to hear feedback, ideas for improvement, or suggestions for new games. Every message goes straight to him and gets a personal reply.
