"I play."

Translation: Ich spiele.

[Xiphosura_]

Ich will!

[Reptilespi]

Can you say "Ich spiel." or "Ich spiel'."? I have seen people sometimes write it like that.

[DavidRussnak]

Is the 'ich' actually necessary here?

Do you pronounce l in spielen / spiele ? Most of the times I hear l is pronounced in a lot of words (i.e. FORVO) but in Duolingo is not. So should I pronounce (L) in words?

[PopSixSquish]

Does this only mean "to play" in the "the children are playing" sense, or can mean "act" as well ("I am playing Romeo in the school play" type of thing?
