Here are a few tips on how you can best learn with GamesforLanguage.
One is to say the German OUT LOUD every time.
Do this with individual words, with phrases, and also with full sentences.
For extra practice, tap/click on the German sentence again and repeat.
Each time, you can focus on different things: the melody of the sentence (i.e. where does the voice go up and down?), individual letter combinations that are hard, certain word combinations, etc.
Another tip is to listen to the conversation a number of times with your eyes closed, so that you can focus totally on listening.
Listen without trying to translate.
