Frequently Asked Questions
Spaced repetition is a scientifically-proven learning technique that presents information at gradually increasing intervals. As you correctly recall a word's gender, the time until you see it again increases. This method strengthens long-term memory and has been shown to be particularly effective for language learning.
German nouns follow numerous patterns that can help predict their gender. For example:
- Words ending in -heit, -keit, -ung, -schaft are feminine (die)
- Words ending in -chen, -lein are neuter (das)
- Words ending in -er (when referring to people) are masculine (der)
While there are exceptions, these patterns cover a significant portion of German vocabulary.
