Example lesson
What a lesson looks like
This is a real lesson, made from a photo of a vocabulary worksheet. Read aloud, fill in, and practise the words at the bottom.
German
We're learning: Learning German nouns with their article (das/der/die) and their English meaning
In this lesson you'll learn eight German words and their English meanings. Work calmly, at your own pace. There is no time limit.
How to learn words
Read each word out loud. Then say the English meaning. Do this a few times. You don't need to remember everything at once. Repeating helps.
Word list
Here are all the words in this lesson. Take your time to look at them.
- das Hausthe house
- der Tischthe table
- die Katzethe cat
- der Hundthe dog
- das Buchthe book
- die Schulethe school
- der Freundthe friend
- das Kindthe child
Practise
We'll practise the words in fixed steps, the same way each time.
A quick recap
You've now seen eight words. Every German word has an article: das, der or die. The English meaning shows what the word means. In a moment we'll practise these words together.
Exercise 1: German to English
Write the English meaning next to each German word.
Your own pace, no rush.
Exercise 2: German to English
Write the English meaning next to each German word.
Exercise 3: English to German
Write the German word with its article next to each English meaning.
Exercise 4: English to German
Write the German word with its article next to each English meaning.
Exercise 5: the same question, different words
This is the same question three times, just written differently. That way you learn to recognise the word, even when a test asks it another way.
This is the same question each time, just written differently. Read calmly and answer each one.
Exercise 6: use it yourself
You are on holiday in Germany and you are looking for your cousin's school. Write down in German what you would ask. Use a word you learned today.
Have you finished all the exercises?
How the lesson adapts to your child
That was one lesson. The same material is built differently per condition. Choose which child you'd like to see it for:
Calm and a fixed shape. No flashing, no movement, no time pressure.
Take your time.
das Haus means the house.
Continue whenever you're ready.
