German at a glance

See how German writing, pronunciation and grammar shape what you need to notice.

Writing and sound

German adds ä, ö, ü and ß to the Latin alphabet, and vowel length plays an important role in pronunciation. Capitalized nouns also make the structure of a written sentence unusually visible.

Grammar and usage

German marks three genders and four cases through articles, pronouns and adjective endings. The finite verb takes the second structural position in a typical main clause, while subordinate clauses commonly send it toward the end.

What to notice as a learner

Save nouns with their article and plural (der Tisch, die Tische) and verbs in sentences that expose case and word order. Split a compound into parts and read from the final noun outward.

Interesting facts

  • German capitalizes every noun, not only names, so a page offers visual clues about where noun phrases begin.
  • In a compound noun, the final component determines the gender: die Tür makes die Haustür feminine.
