TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

You're to dot. With 85 minutes, we'll do a show. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, today we are looking at a skill called German Vocabulary Trainer.

And it's only available in German. There isn't a French Vocabulary Trainer, etc. I wish there was. Maybe there will be soon, because this was only quite recently added.

And I think it's really good. Oh, by the way, it doesn't have the words come up on Echoes with a screen, or on the home screen, or even in the activity area of the app on your phone. So, spellings are out. This is just about how things sound.

So, yeah, you won't get the spellings, unfortunately. Alexa, open German Vocabulary Trainer. Hey, name a category like food, transportation, or health space study. Transportation.

Transportation category entered. New word, train. Zug. What's the translation of?

Zug. Train. New word, vehicle. Fahrtzeig.

Translate. Fahrtzeig. Vehicle. Fahrtzeig.

What's the translation of? Zug. Train. What's the translation of?

Fahrtzeig. Vehicle. New word, traffic. Fakir.

Translate. Fakir. Traffic. Fuck yeah.

New word, airplane. Flugtzeig. What is? Flugtzeig.

Flugtzeig. Oh, airplane. Correct answer is airplane. New word, airplane.

Flugtzeig. Tell me what is. Flugtzeig. Airplane.

It should be airplane, surely. New word, motorcycle. What for hat? What means?

What for hat? Well, motorcycle. Motor hat. Because I think we're hard to say.

I'll say stop next. New word, driving license. Flugtzeig. Tell me what is.

Flugtzeig. Stop. Bye. Until next time.

Cool. In the skill description, it says it works on the flashcards basis, which is that until you get them right several times, they're kept in the deck, as it were. And certainly here, you can see that they're reinforcing to see if you actually did learn the word and not just, you know, be able to remember it for three seconds to repeat by, you know, asking what the word means. And if you get it wrong, then it repeats it.

And the study mode at the end, I think, is just drilling you on the words that you've learned so far, I think. Anyway, there you go. Good pronunciation. Obviously, there's a German, you know, synthesizer in there somewhere, which is really good.

This is Robinette signing off, and we will speak again tomorrow. Feedback, comments, demos. The dot-to-dot podcast at gmail.com. Freecast.fm.
