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.
