Practical pointers

English → German: learn with context

Your starting point: English

Bring your habit of listening to whole phrases from English, but do not assume a fixed subject–verb–object order. Gender and inflection may have no direct English equivalent.

Explore German

In German, learn nouns with their articles and verbs in complete sentences. Notice verb position and separable prefixes; listen for ä, ö, ü and vowel length.
