Der Lernpfad

Alle 121 Grammatikthemen in der Reihenfolge, in der sie sich gegenseitig tragen — durchnummeriert von 1 bis 121.

Die Stufe ist die Querlinie, nicht die Reihe. Innerhalb einer Stufe laufen mehrere Stränge nebeneinander: Wer beim Präsens steht, kann daneben die Artikel lernen, ohne dass eines auf das andere warten müsste. Gewartet wird zwischen den Stufen — wer eine überspringt, arbeitet an etwas, dem drei Voraussetzungen fehlen.

Die Nummer ist gerechnet und nicht vergeben: Stufe, dann Strang, dann Bereich. Sie ändert sich, wenn ein Thema dazukommt, und das ist richtig so — eine feste Nummer wäre nur so lange richtig, bis jemand schreibt.

Ob Sie ein Thema schon gelesen haben, weiß nur Ihr Browser. Mit Javascript zeigt der Pfad es an; ohne bleibt er vollständig, nur ohne Ihren Stand.
