Grammar
Check out our first personal pronouns:
Sie you (formal)
ich I
er he
In German, verbs change according to the personal pronoun you use. Do you see a pattern?
kommen
ich komme I come
er kommt he comes
heißen
ich heiße I’m called
er heißt he is called
3 Fill the gaps. Use Sie, ich, er.
Hint
Some words often go together:
wohnen + in
Ich wohne in Deutschland.
I live in Germany.
kommen + aus
Ich komme aus Deutschland.
I come from Germany.
Beware of false friends!
wo sounds like who…
but it means where
wer sounds like where…
but it means who
Learning suggestion
Research shows that there is a connection between elapsed time and forgetting:
Elapsed time is forgotten
20 minutes 30-45%
1 day 50-65%
1 week .. 70-75%
1 month . 80%
Using our flashcards can prevent that. Our best students use them several times a week – and you should, too!
