- Einstein
Our goal is to create a tool that utilizes visual memory techniques to allow people to more effectively learn German noun genders.
how?
visual learning

“Studies have shown that the use of visual materials, such as pictures and real objects, plays an important role in language learning.

As fellow language enthusiasts, we know that learning a second language can be incredibly difficult and time consuming, so we are building this platform to streamline the learning process, making it easier for you to quickly develop a useful and practical language foundation.

In particular, we want to utilize visual learning to facilitate the memorization of German noun genders.

This will improve not only your vocabulary, but also your grammar, as the appropriate use of noun genders is a critical component of German sentence structure.

Modern educational systems are dominated by numerical skills and rote memorization, but our society is a complex network of physical, psychological, and visual stimuli.

To ignore so many of these crucial components, especially within education - which is arguably one of the most important societal systems - is to do a disservice both to ourselves and to future generations.
vocabulary

“The more words you know, the less impactful learning a new word is on your comprehension.

One key element of the language learning process is the development of a robust vocabulary, but it isn’t always clear where you should start.

The relationship between your vocabulary and your ability to comprehend a language is logarithmic, meaning you eventually get diminishing returns on your effort. Essentially, the more words you know, the less impactful learning a new word is on your comprehension.

On the bright side, this means that if you focus on learning the most common words in a language, your comprehension ability will increase rapidly, and you will save valuable time.

This is why we believe the best approach is to start by learning the most frequently occurring words first, rather than wasting time on words you are likely to never see. You can visit our Library and Quiz to start studying and practicing some of the most common German nouns.
