Wanted to ask for some tips since I’m really struggling with this trying to learn German.
I know there are certain ways to guess the gender (e.g. -er endings are usually masculine, -ung feminine and loan words neutral) but often times I’m just butchering the whole sentence by not knowing the correct articles.
Let me demonstrate my frustration: in many cultures the moon is considered “feminine”, but in German it has masculine article!
Bitte, hüfe!
So instead of learning a noun by itself you “attach” the article to the word? E.g. instead of Sonne you’d memorize DieSonne?
Also would like to ask for tips on learning via natural comprehension! Been wondering whether listening to audio-only instead of watching videos helps with this?
