Learning German starts with mastering the basics - greetings, introductions,... Show more
Greetings are your first step into German conversation, and they're simpler than you might think! "Hallo" works just like "hello" in English, whilst "guten Morgen" (good morning), "guten Abend" (good evening), and "gute Nacht" (good night) show politeness and respect.
When saying goodbye, you've got options. "Auf Wiedersehen" is the formal "goodbye," but "Tschüss" is more casual - perfect for friends and classmates.
Introducing yourself follows a clear pattern. "Wie heißt du?" means "what's your name?" and you respond with "Ich heiße..." (I am called...). For talking about others, use "sie/er heißt" .
Quick Tip: The phrase "und du?" (and you?) is brilliant for keeping conversations flowing naturally!
"Wie geht's dir?" (how are you?) opens doors to real conversations. Respond with "danke gut" (good thanks) when things are fine, or "nicht so gut" (not so good) when they're not. Germans appreciate honesty!
German numbers follow logical patterns once you crack the code. Numbers 1-10 are unique: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn. Numbers 11-19 mostly add "-zehn" to the base number, though "elf" (11) and "zwölf" (12) are exceptions.
The tens (20, 30, 40, etc.) add "-zig" to the base number: zwanzig, dreißig, vierzig. Notice how "dreißig" (30) and "siebzig" (70) have slight spelling changes - these are the tricky ones to remember!
Birthday conversations use the phrase "Wann hast du Geburtstag?" (when is your birthday?). You respond with "Ich habe am..." followed by the date. German dates use ordinal numbers - ersten (1st), zweiten (2nd), dritten (3rd) - plus the month.
Memory Trick: German months are quite similar to English - Januar, Februar, März, April, Mai, Juni - so you're already halfway there!
The sentence structure for birthdays is: "Ich habe am Geburtstag" - literally "I have on the birthday."
Your German classroom becomes a language laboratory when you know these essential items! "Das ist..." (this is...) introduces any object, making it perfect for describing your surroundings.
German nouns come with three different articles: der (masculine), die (feminine), and das (neuter). Don't worry about memorising the rules yet - just learn each word with its article. "Der Stuhl" (the chair) and "der Tisch" (the table) are masculine, whilst "die Tür" (the door) and "die Tafel" (the whiteboard) are feminine.
School supplies you'll use daily include "der Kuli" (the pen), "der Bleistift" (the pencil), and "die Federmappe" (the pencil case). "Das Wörterbuch" (the dictionary) will become your best friend for looking up new words!
Classroom Challenge: Try pointing to objects around your classroom and saying "Das ist der/die/das..." - it's brilliant practice!
Essential items like "die Schultasche" (the school bag), "das Papier" (the paper), and "die Schere" (the scissors) complete your basic vocabulary toolkit for navigating German lessons confidently.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
