This collection is probably the best introductory German flashcard deck available online.


WHAT IS INCLUDED

  • The main howwedu flashcard deck (English - sample sentence | German - sample sentence) makes you learn the most important information first, and guarantees that you will study every word in context.
  • The howwedu grammar decks are perfect to study plural and past forms, as well as adjective comparison. Learn useful grammatical information bit by bit.
  • The howwedu masterdeck (English - sample sentence | German - sample sentence - plural/comparison/past tense). If it fits your learning style, have all information at a single glance.

THE KEY FEATURES

  • A careful choice of words. Of the 512 words in the deck, 251 are cognates (words that are similar to English and therefore easy to remember), and 298 are part of the 1000 most frequent German words (as published by the University of Leipzig http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/html/wliste.html). The cognates allow you to push your maximal daily card number to the limits, the Top 1000 words make sure that even with a limited vocabulary, you will be able to say and understand a lot. We don't think too highly of learning all the German colors, animals, and weather vocabulary first - we want you to get speaking soon!
  • A picture on each card helps you to link the German word to an image in your mind and provides helpful context for the sample sentences.
  • Natural audio recordings by native speakers (even for the additional grammatical information) will boost your progress in pronunciation and listening comprehension.
  • And the best is yet to come:


INTRODUCING SPACED REPETITION IN TEXTS


For every sixteen new words, we carefully crafted a real-world text (called "app") featuring exactly these sixteen new words and other words you’ve learned before. Every pack of sixteen words will be featured combined with other packs of words in at least five different real-world texts. This repeated exposure assures a deep understanding of the use of every single word. This variety of texts will get you comfortable with words called particles (denn, doch, etc.) that other German courses leave out. A spaced repetition scheme for the word choice of these texts optimizes retention time. For every text, there will be native audio recordings.

Beyond that, the word list is the basis for cultural resources like sketches and songs we’ve carefully picked for the various packs to match the exact vocabulary you’re currently learning.

We will keep you up-to-date to the development of these resources. Please, enjoy and share our work!
