Frequently Asked Questions

What clothes and appearance words will I learn?

The deck covers everyday clothing like shirts, trousers, shoes, and jackets, plus words for describing how someone looks. These are the German clothing words you need most for shopping and everyday conversation.

Are the clothing nouns shown with their article?

Yes. Each noun is shown with its article (der, die, or das), since the gender is part of the word. Learning die Hose rather than just Hose means you have the gender right from the start.

How does the deck decide what to show next?

You rate each card after you flip it. Hard cards come back sooner and easy cards wait longer, so your time goes to the words you have not learned yet. Signed-in users keep their progress between sessions.

Where is the full clothing word list?

The complete clothes and appearance page lists every word with plural forms and example sentences. These flashcards are the practice version of that list.
