To review the vocabulary for each chapter, please use our Flashcard Program. Suggested procedure:
- Load the vocabulary for one chapter at a time
- Spend 10-15 minutes at a time going through the cards. For each card, try to form a very simple sentence with the word as quickly as you can, and say it out loud
- Your sentences can be as simple as "[Noun] ist groß/klein/abstrakt; Ich mag [Noun] (nicht); Ich [Verb] (nicht) gern; Ich bin (nicht) [Adjective/Adverb]
- Absurd/surreal sentences that make you smile can also be effective at helping you learn the word.
- If you can't think of a sentence right away, just say the word out loud and move on to the next card.
