In today's digital age, technology is irreplaceable in all aspects of life. The teaching of a foreign language is also gradually benefiting from digital media. This study relates to the needs of technology for teaching German as a foreign language to children and young people. E-learning and m-learning are important terms of the modern age and there are many mobile applications nowadays that enable language learning independent of time and place. This study attempts to determine the extent to which language learning apps are sufficient to learn a foreign language with all four skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking) and the extent to which a foreign language can be acquired without systematic grammar and vocabulary training from a teacher. This study aims to provide an insight into this by comparing two different applications, “Anton” and “Fun Easy Learn”. In order to determine the significance of these applications for German as a foreign language, qualitative research is carried out and the catalogue of criteria by Rösler et.al.(2002) for Internet learning material is taken into consideration, whereby not only the technical aspects are examined more closely, but also the language skills such as listening, listening-seeing, reading, writing, speaking and the learning areas such as regional studies, grammar, vocabulary, tests, games and pronunciation.
