School, study and language

What holds these lists together

One list here is different in kind from every other on the site: "Talking about language" is the vocabulary for describing the language you are learning, in that language — der Fall, die Endung, der Wortstamm. Learning it once opens every German grammar book, every classroom instruction and every dictionary entry, and it is the shortest route out of needing English as a crutch.

For example: der Schüler (pupil, school student), die Grundschule (primary school), die Hochschule (higher education institution), der Werdegang (career path), der Wortschatz (vocabulary), ins Fettnäpfchen treten (to put your foot in it)

Spread across the levels

The category runs across the levels — it is an area, not a difficulty. If you practise it, you can also choose a level at the top of the practice page and then get only the part that sits there.
