People and relationships

What holds these lists together

This is the category that most obviously runs the whole way up the levels. Traurig is A1 and everybody learns it; wehmütig, gekränkt and zerknirscht say what it actually was, and nobody reaches them by accident. The same holds for describing a person: an A2 list gives you nett, and the B1 one gives you the words that make a description worth listening to.

For example: der Mann (man, husband), das Gefühl (feeling), unzufrieden (dissatisfied), die Eigenschaft (quality, characteristic), die Beziehung (relationship), die Erziehung (upbringing, education)

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.
