Most students in my A1.1 course have expressed frustration with remembering a new vocabulary word’s article. Our teacher could sense our uneasiness and created a brilliant exercise. She gave each student three different pieces of paper: a blue “der,” a pink “die,” and a green “das.” She would read through some vocabulary words that we had covered in previous lessons and we had to hold up which article we thought went with the word. In many instances, we were guessing and had no idea which article to use. However, our teacher would come back to the tricky ones over and over again. After a few times, we were able to remember the article correctly! We are so lucky to have a teacher who truly cares about our language learning and listens to our concerns and adapts the class to help us in creative ways. It is the best German course in Vienna.
