German Easy Everyday Words


I am learning German on Duolingo.

I listened to a BBC podcast about how apps can help, and whether you gain more by adding a conversation with a live person or doing that instead. For me, at home alone, or on public transport, the app is a start and a constant practice.

Apparently you can turn off the sounds at the ends of an exercise, which might annoy others at home or in public places such as on a bus or train.

 German - English

A capital letter at the start of a word indicates that it is a noun rather than a verb or adjective.

(Die )Jacke - (the ) jacket 

du - you singular, like tu in French


English - German

Remember to use a capital letter when writing nouns in German.

jacket - Jacke, the jacket is die Jacke, (both die and Jacke end in the letter e)

you singular - tu

(you singular) must - musst (You must use the double ss in German)
