There is no getting around that. But where should you start? How do you expand your vocabulary? And how many words do you need to know, really?<\/p>\n<p>Here are our top tips and resources that will help you on your quest to learn German vocabulary.<\/p>\n<h2>Learning German vocabulary: The basics<\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive deep into specific learning techniques and strategies, it\u2019s important to answer some commonly asked questions about learning German vocabulary.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is German vocabulary difficult?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is a common misconception about the German language, and that is that it\u2019s extremely hard to learn. Many find the idea of German intimidating. But the truth is that it\u2019s not\u00a0all\u00a0difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Like English, German is a Germanic language. This means that there are many similarities between the two languages. Some estimates suggest that English and German have a lexical similarity of 60%.<\/p>\n<p>So, while German grammar might be a little scary sometimes, German vocabulary is nothing to be put off by. Just look at these words and how similar they are to their English equivalents:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>German<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>English<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>lang<\/em><\/td>\n<td>long<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>helfen<\/em><\/td>\n<td>help<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Apfel<\/em><\/td>\n<td>apple<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>How many words do I need to learn to be fluent in German?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some people like having a specific number in mind, as it helps them focus on their goal. But the number of words you\u2019ll need to memorize will depend on why you\u2019re trying to learn German vocabulary and what you\u2019re trying to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just traveling to Germany and want to get by without any issues in your day-to-day life, you\u2019ll only need to learn about 2000 words.<\/p>\n<p>An advanced German learner will know anywhere between 4000-8000 words.<\/p>\n<p>If your goal is to be fluent in German, you\u2019ll need to learn 10,000+ words.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers aren\u2019t exact. After all, learning a language isn\u2019t a science. However, they are good estimations to keep in mind when you\u2019re trying to learn German vocabulary.<\/p>\n<h2>Learning German vocabulary: Where to begin<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, so you\u2019ve decided that you want to go ahead and learn German vocabulary. But now what? Where do you start? Here are our suggestions:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Learn the German alphabet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The good news is that the German alphabet is very similar to the English alphabet. The pronunciation can differ, though. This is why it\u2019s important to master the alphabet \u2013 it will make learning new words and their pronunciation easier.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to learn the German alphabet is by memorizing it. And why not do that in the form of a song? Check out this catchy alphabet song by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@learngermanthroughmusic9540\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Learn German Through Music<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C7gI4muco-o\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Learn the most common verbs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can\u2019t speak a language without using verbs. Verbs are important, and they are a good place to start when you\u2019re trying to learn German vocabulary. You don\u2019t have to learn too many verbs to start with, though. Just master the most commonly used ones first.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re talking about verbs like \u201c<em>sein<\/em>\u201d (meaning \u201cto be\u201d), \u201c<em>haben<\/em>\u201d (meaning \u201cto have\u201d), \u201c<em>gehen<\/em>\u201d (meaning \u201cto go\u201d), etc.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegermanprofessor.com\/top-100-german-verbs\/\">list of the top 100 German verbs<\/a> by <em>The German Professor<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Learn basic nouns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Verbs are obviously important, but they\u2019re not the only words you need to learn. If you want to learn German vocabulary, you\u2019ll need to look into German nouns as well. After all, if you\u2019re trying to say that you have an apple, you need to know more than just how to say \u201cto have.\u201d You\u2019ll need to know the German word for \u201capple\u201d (\u201c<em>Apfel<\/em>\u201d), too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.germanpod101.com\/blog\/2020\/06\/29\/100-most-common-nouns-in-german\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>GermanPod101<\/em>\u2019s list of 100+ must-known German nouns<\/a> is a good place to start building your vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important: <\/strong>When learning German nouns, don\u2019t forget to learn their grammatical genders, too. If you don\u2019t know the correct article for each noun, you won\u2019t be able to speak German correctly. So, don\u2019t just remember that \u201ccar\u201d is \u201c<em>Auto<\/em>\u201d in German. Make sure you know that it\u2019s \u201c<em>das Auto<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How to learn German vocabulary: Top tips<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Learn your surroundings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the best ways to learn German vocabulary is to surround yourself with the language. It\u2019s simple: just grab a couple of post-it notes and write down the German words for the things around you. Is there a mirror in your room? A closet? How about a desk?<\/p>\n<p>Write down these words, then stick each post-it note on the corresponding piece of furniture. And that\u2019s it. Now, every time you brush your teeth in front of the mirror, you\u2019ll be reminded that \u201cmirror\u201d is \u201c<em>der Spiegel<\/em>\u201d in German.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great way to learn some basic, useful vocabulary without spending too much time sitting down and trying to cram a bunch of words. By surrounding yourself with the language, you\u2019ll be able to learn German vocabulary without too much effort.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Use flashcards<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is a reason why flashcards are popular with language learners. They work!<\/p>\n<p>So, compile a list of German words that you\u2019d like to learn and create some good old paper flashcards. You can take these with you anywhere and practice German on the go.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for your pasta to cook? Learn some German!<\/p>\n<p>Have a long train journey ahead of you? Take out the flashcards!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a simple, easy, and practical way to learn German vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong>If you\u2019d prefer to go paperless, try apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/quizlet.com\/gb\">Quizlet<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.ankiweb.net\/\">Anki<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Watch videos, movies, and TV shows<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the best ways to learn German vocabulary is to do so in context. Hearing the words you\u2019re trying to learn in sentences can be incredibly useful. That way, you\u2019ll also learn other information \u2013 for example, which prepositions go with which verb, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us like curling up in front of the TV and putting on a good movie. So, why not combine your TV time with your German learning journey?<\/p>\n<p>Just put on a German movie or video \u2013 or try watching your favorite English TV show with German dubbing.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube is another great way to learn German vocabulary, especially if you are a beginner. For example, this Public Transport in Slow German video by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@EasyGerman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Easy German<\/em><\/a> is a good way to learn means of transport vocabulary:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S3SRcxJB31Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Start a German journal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you truly want to learn German vocabulary, you\u2019ll need to focus on more than just taking all the new words in. Make sure that you can also use them yourself.<\/p>\n<p>One great way to practice this is by writing in German. Our advice is to buy a small notepad. It doesn\u2019t have to be anything fancy. Then, once you have it, make it your German journal.<\/p>\n<p>Write in it about your day as often as you can. Describe what happened to you and how you felt. If you don\u2019t know a word that you desperately need to use, look it up in a dictionary. Then, make sure to use it again in your journal sometime soon, so that it sticks.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good way to make sure that you remember all the German vocabulary that you\u2019ve learned so far.<\/p>\n<h2>Resources to learn German vocabulary<\/h2>\n<p>In the age of the internet, it is no longer necessary for us to rely on expensive, boring textbooks. But if you don\u2019t want to use traditional textbooks, then where should you look for learning materials?<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of our favorite resources for learning German vocabulary:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Duolingo<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.duolingo.com\/course\/de\/en\/Learn-German\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duolingo<\/a> is a well-known app for a reason.

They are also often centered around a specific theme \u2013 which is great for learning new words.<\/p>\n<p>The app is free to use, although they do offer a premium version, which you can check out if you have some extra cash.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Clozemaster<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/languages\/learn-german-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clozemaster<\/a> is an amazing language-learning app that will help you bridge that gap between advanced beginner and native-level content.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn German vocabulary, Clozemaster is a great way to do that.
