What holds these lists together

German builds a technical term out of parts you can already read, which makes this the category where vocabulary compounds fastest: somebody who has der Druck and messen can work out der Druckmesser without being told. These lists are chosen with that in mind, so the parts come before the compounds.

For example: der Rechner (computer), das Handy (mobile phone), der Bergbau (mining), die Nachrichten (the news), unter Tage (underground (in a mine)), der Primärschlüssel (primary key)

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.
