Why is it der Löffel but die Gabel? Nothing in the word tells you. Native speakers just know. Everyone else guesses. LerneQ is made for Russian and Ukrainian speakers learning German. It trains two hard things: the gender of nouns and strong verbs. Articles by color Every noun comes in the color of its article: der is blue, die is rose, das is green. The color sticks to the word, so you stop digging for a rule mid-sentence. - Everyday nouns by topic: apartment, food, work, health and more - A picture on every card, in its article's color, with German pronunciation - In the test a gap sits before the noun: drag der, die or das onto it - Words you miss come back sooner Strong verbs bleiben, blieb, geblieben. Strong verbs change their vowel and no rule says how. LerneQ groups them into rows that change the same way, so you learn a pattern, not a list of exceptions. - You build the Präteritum and Perfekt yourself from tiles: the vowel, the ending, hat or ist - Every verb has a picture, a memory story in Russian and all its forms with sound What LerneQ is not Not a full German course. It is the trainer you keep next to one, from A1 to B2. The yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. The three-month plan has no trial. A subscription opens all nouns and verbs. Cancel anytime. Terms of Use: https://lerneq.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://lerneq.com/privacy
