The easiest way to learn German articles: Swipe to memorize, 2000 words by frequency. — Swipe left, right, and up for more efficient memorization. — A list of 2000 words, ordered by frequency of use. — Learn the initial words, and new ones will appear.

Dedicated to all of you who struggle with German articles. What else should I add? How can I improve?

Congratulations on launching your German learning app! This swipe-based method sounds like a fun and engaging way to memorize articles. Will you consider adding other languages for learning in the future, such as Japanese, English, Chinese, and so on?

@scar_qin I am not sure it's possible to use this exact method for languages without complex gender constructions, but I am already working on simple flash-card app for English vocabulary. So, stay tuned!

Really cool! I built something similar to help myself learn the genders too but this is way better haha. Some feedback * I guess 1 word learned means that its a mature learnt word rather than a new word but this wasn't initially clear * The dragging seems a bit sensitive sometimes I go to drag it to `das` but I guess am dragging it slightly up and to the right/left and it triggers `der` or `die` But I really like it! Going to use it consistently and see if I can finally improve my intuition of what gender words are haha. Congrats on the launch!

@alex_cyphus thanks for the feedback! Dragging is an unexpectedly tricky part. I am still looking for a best solution for it. Maybe it is worth thinking of using some ML predictions instead of linear distance calculation. Will focus on this issue!

Congrats on the launch! I just tried the app, and I think it’s really nice! I especially enjoy the spatial memory feature. I am not sure how it could be done but it would be amazing if we could also learn the plural forms of the words. Congrats again!

@morgane_prr Thanks for your feedback! Good idea. I think, I can easily add plural forms by updating the dictionary.
