Review: German articles made so simple- I love this book. - Wunderbar. I have studied German several times over my life- usually when I'm planning a trip to Germany. The articles genders have always exhausted my memory bank. This book presents them in a systematic, easy to learn fashion. It is incredible. Although there are 40 rules, 80% of the words we use most often are covered in about 6 of them. What a life saver. I can not speak German more confidently knowing that I am not guessing about the gender of a noun. We have to do too much gender guessing in real life to worry about the gender of our nouns. Review: Excellent book for the German articles - This may look like a kid's book by looking at the front cover, but it's a good source of information for all ages wanting to learn German. Very well laid out. Easy to read. Das buch ist fantastisch!

Great for gender cases
This is great for der, die and das with photos that makes it so much easier to remember. I really like all the tips it has its not like the typical academic style book. It was very understandable and can be looked at very easily without having to look high and low for what means what. This made my life so much easier than trying to just remember.

Great explanations
This was the most difficult thing to try and figure out. This book was the easiest way to figure out the difference between { Masculine, Feminine & Neutral } inflections. It’s still a lot to digest, but at least it gives you a good starting point. 👍👍👍👍👍

Ottimo, finalmente una spiegazione semplice, chiara, intelligente e piacevole per chiarire il solo e unico problema, o difficoltà della lingua tedesca,( perché per le regole dei casi basta una tabella e un po di analisi logica). Era ora che qualcuno lo scrivesse, bravo e complimenti all autore GRAZIE di ❤️

Heartfelt thanks for this book.
Brilliant book. I love it and I’ll keep it forever because it’s so useful and so well thought out. A book that really has helpful information and feels inviting to study. It’s a book made from a passionate idea to help people grasp this difficult area of German. And the idea works! Or will work for me. I know it will. I’m already getting rules stuck in my head after having the book for a week. I can do vocabulary lists with the exceptions of rules. The zoo idea is great. The pie charts really help. The coloured pages are a nice idea. The whole layout couldn’t be better. The rabbit character is cute. It feels sort of like one of those 80s early learning textbooks with bright coloured clear printing on nice paper. Something nostalgic about the design in a good way.

hilfreiche Tipps und Tricks
Mein Mann lernt seit 2 Jahren Deutsch und fand das hier gelernte sehr hilfreich! Viele kleine Kniffe und Tipps. Natürlich kann man sich das auch alles gratis im Internet aneignen - das Buch fasst all diese Hilfen aber toll zusammen und man hat alles auf einen Blick. Sehr empfehlenswert auch als Geschenk für alle, die Deutsch lernen!
