For Classroom Use: German as Foreign Language
Posted 11/22/2007 by Eichenhof
Rating: 
The wide variety of vocabulary limits usefulness to 2nd year or above. Beginners would have to search through too many tiles to find the few vocabulary items they recognize. Also the amount of fiddling required to get the correct one- or two-letter endings for verbs, adjectives, etc. would frustrate most students. I intend to use it as a novelty for the last day before vacations, etc., assigning 2 to 3 students to use it cooperatively.

It is hard to find games with that use the German language, so it was fun to find magnetic poetry at Fat Brain Toys.

I bought this for a present for my high school age son who is in German class and preparing for a trip to Germany next year. He was very excited by it an the magnets are now up on our fridge.... what a great way to make learning fun! My daughter and myself are also picking up some German now too, because we can't resist arranging the little tiles and it helps to know what the words mean.

Nifty Way To Practice German Phrases

Magnetic Poetry German is a great product like the other magnetic poetry items. It includes endings for verbs so that pronouns can be changed and nouns can be made plural. However, the Spanish magnetic poetry has the English translation on the reverse side, the German does not. The German words do include a dictionary of the words in the box. Nice plastic box to store unused words.

Great For Lovers of the German Language

This product takes the fun of the original and adds an international spin to it. If you love the German language as much as I do, then you will enjoy this. Not only is it a neat way to practice your German, it's also a great conversation starter. And you will be surprised at how the humor of whimsical sentences is amplified by the fact that they are in a foreign language.

A few of the magnets did not want to come apart, and I would have liked to maybe see a few 'ge' magnets for making past tense. Otherwise the product is just what I was looking for. I'm very pleased with it.

I feel it's a good quality product. I wish the words were bigger, I'm using it on a magnetic board to teach my children and the words are rather small.

This product was purchased for our son who is learning German. He loves it and finds it a fun way to add new German vocabulary to his learning. He creates a new sentence daily, so he's getting a lot of use from it.

I gave this as a Christmas gift to some friends, and bought one for myself. My friends have already made quite a few sentences on their fridge. I'm satisfied.
Great for learning!

The whole family is enjoying this fun toy! It's sturdy and the pieces are larger than I expected (it takes up most of the refrigerator door), but it requres some skill to make a good run. Shipping was very fast.
Excellent

I bought this as a gift for my German teacher. It is completely worth the price. It comes neatly & attractively packaged, there appear to be a number of good German words inside. Nouns, pronous, verbs, adjectives... It's all there! What a great gift for German enthusiasts, teachers, or Austrians that miss Wien.

This product is enjoyed much. i took German in high school, but my boyfriend has been learning some with me as he can. This has increased his interest in it.
Regular magnets are fun, but magnets with words...too fun!

Warning! Magnetic poetry is addictive! I just got it Wednesday, and I've been playing with it all weekend and this week (It's Tuesday now.) practically nonstop! The language kits are fun...and educational! Three cheers for magnetic poetry and Fat Brain Toys! Wee!

I bought this product for my Italian boyfriend who is about to learn my language, German. As a native speaker I think this is a well balanced kit with words to start basic sentences and even build up long constructions with more two or more sentences "boxed" into each other. I find it a playful way to get to learn new languages.
