What you'll cover

Core context vocabulary

Vocabulary is the fastest way to make every German skill easier. Learn each noun with its article, because der, die and das carry gender.

Key German

These words are a compact practice set for the mapped theme. The exact appendix lists should still receive native-speaker review before launch.

Theme vocabulary

Sort the words by how you might use them.

Check the meaning

Which option means family?

  • die Familie
  • die Gesundheit
  • die Reise
  • die Schule

Match German to meaning

  • die Familie
  • die Gesundheit
  • die Reise
  • die Schule
  • family
  • health
  • journey or trip
  • school

Learn the article

German nouns are capitalised and normally learnt with der, die or das. The article helps later with cases and adjective endings.

Complete the notes

Complete the notes: _____ means family. _____ means health. _____ means journey or trip. _____ means school.

die Familie die Gesundheit die Reise die Schule ich und

Build a simple sentence

Order the German sentence: I learn German.

  • Ich
  • lerne
  • Deutsch
  • gern

Weil sends the verb to the end

These words only do their work inside a sentence. German has one habit English does not: weil (because) sends the verb to the very end of its half of the sentence.

After weil, where does the verb go?

After weil, where does the verb go? Which of these says "I learn German because it is important"?

  • Ich lerne Deutsch, weil es wichtig ist
  • Ich lerne Deutsch, weil es ist wichtig
  • Ich lerne Deutsch, es ist wichtig
  • Ich lerne Deutsch gern
