Sample cards

Three cards from the deck, as you will see them in BrainBerry: the question, the answer, and an explanation of why.

Grammar

What sound does the letter z make in German, as in Zeit?

Answer

It is always ts, the sound at the end of English 'cats'. Zeit begins 'tsight'.

Why

German z is never the buzzing z of English 'zoo'; that sound is written s at the start of a word or between two vowels. Zimmer, zwölf and zusammen all begin with ts.

Vocabulary

Name the four seasons in German.

Answer

Frühling (spring), Sommer (summer), Herbst (autumn), Winter (winter).

Why

Frühling needs its u-umlaut. All four are masculine, so they take der: der Sommer, der Winter.

Thematic contexts

Which listed nouns would you use to describe a journey abroad?

Answer

die Reise, die Fahrt, der Flug, der Flughafen, der Koffer and der Pass.

Why

das Ausland means foreign countries, used as ins Ausland and im Ausland. die Touristeninformation is where you ask about attractions.
