App Description

German verbs can seem so complicated — all those separable prefixes, fixed prepositions, and reflexives. Then come the verbs with both weak and strong conjugations, accusative and dative reflexive uses, separable and nonseparable versions of the same prefix, or “haben” and “sein” as auxiliaries. And you still have to learn what the verb actually means!

Meet VerbenTanz®, your new best study companion. Designed for English-speaking students of German, VerbenTanz is a dynamic learning tool focusing solely on German verbs. VerbenTanz comes standard with 360 essential verbs, in two increasing levels of complexity. Through in-app purchase, VerbenTanz expands up to nine challenging levels for more advanced students — a total of over 1600 verbs. All verbs come conveniently packaged into groups of study sets of 30 infinitives each.

All software features also come standard.
