Practical pointers

German → English: learn with context

Your starting point: German

German gender and cases provide a useful reference. Compare meanings rather than individual endings, and avoid transferring German verb position automatically.

Explore English

Practice English words with the sentence: word order and prepositions often carry meaning. Audio connects spelling with pronunciation, which is not always predictable from letters.
