Eight steps to speak German easily – Step 3 & 4

Step 3 Add Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives to Your Vocabulary

Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, it’s time to add nouns, verbs, and adjectives to your vocabulary. Try to establish a daily objective for yourself, such as learning three new nouns, verbs, and adjectives (for a total of nine words) each day.

Step 4 Put sentences together 

Now that you know a few key German words, you’re ready to go. It’s now time to put them to use.

Learning German sentence structure and word order is the key to this.

On the website of the German Department at Dartmouth College, you can discover an easy-to-understand but comprehensive explanation of German word order. 

Then, using these free online exercises, you can practise applying those rules for yourself. Simply click a string of words in the appropriate order to construct German phrases. 

Fortunately, even if you use the wrong words in your sentences, most readers will still understand what you’re trying to say. Nevertheless, you should make an effort to use the right words in your phrases.
