ADVICE

Imperfect Practice

  • Use correct German grammar when possible.
  • Don't let perfect grammar stop you from practicing and using the language.
INSIGHT

Adjective Endings

  • German adjective endings change depending on the gender of the noun and whether the article is definite or indefinite.
  • The adjective ending "-es" signals a neuter noun with a definite article ("das").
ADVICE

Making Requests

  • To make requests, use the accusative case in German.
  • For example, "Ich möchte einen Kaffee" (I would like a coffee).
