The key German words, explained simply

The test, the forms and every decision from the authorities are in German only. Start with these words. The front of each card shows the English term; the back shows the German word with its article, a simple explanation and the German explanation for practice. Tap a card to flip it and press “I know it” once a word sticks. “Hear it in German” reads the German word aloud with a German voice (never English), so you learn the right pronunciation.

★ Tips

How words stick

10 minutes a day

Short and often beats long and rare. One deck a day is enough.

Say it out loud

Press “Hear it in German” and repeat. Speaking fixes a word better than reading it.

Learn the article

Always learn der, die, das with the word: der Antrag, die Behörde, das Gesetz.

Switch direction

Once EN → DE works, switch the direction button to “DE → EN”: in the test you will read German.

Then the quiz

When the cards stick, go to the quiz and turn on the German original of the questions.
