    Frequently Asked Questions

    What home and household words will I learn?
    The deck covers rooms, furniture, and everyday household items: the kitchen, the table, the bed, the door, and the rest of the words you use around the house. These are the German words you reach for most when you talk about your home.
    Are the nouns shown with their article?
    Yes. Each noun comes with its article (der, die, or das), since the gender is part of the word. Learning das Haus rather than just Haus means you have the gender right from the start.
    How do the flashcards keep practice efficient?
    You rate each card after flipping 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 home and living word list?
    The complete home and living page lists every word with plural forms and example sentences. These flashcards are the practice version of that list.
