Free German lessons – gender quiz

find German courses
To help you learn some German, I’m regularly going to add free lessons to this blog. This first free lesson is a quiz where I give you twenty German nouns and you tell me their gender.

Future free German lessons will cover vocabulary, verbs, word order, adjectives, plurals, noun forms, prepositions, false friends, spelling, pronouns, set phrases, proverbs, and more gender quizzes.

If you want to suggest a lesson, please post a comment below and I’ll see to it.
