Learn the gender, not just the word
Four things work together so the right article sticks — and keeps sticking.
Reviews timed to the moment you’d forget
Every word moves through stages — Apprentice to Burned — and comes back right when your memory needs the nudge. Learn five new words, review what’s due, done in minutes a day.
One word, three buttons: der die das
See the noun, pick its article, get instant feedback with the meaning. Simple enough to do on the bus, rigorous enough to actually move the needle.
The patterns behind the genders
German isn’t pure chaos. Short rule lessons teach the patterns — “the plural is always die”, endings that give the gender away — so you can reason your way to the right article, not just memorise it.
A memory hook for the stubborn ones
When a word just won’t stick, a vivid mnemonic does the heavy lifting — plus the plural and an example sentence, so you meet the word the way you’ll actually use it.
