How to Setup Your Own German Practice drills

German, with its detailed grammar rules and unique structure, can certainly be a challenge.

While platforms like Duolingo, Babbel, and Rosetta Stone provide a solid foundation, true mastery comes from focused practice.

That’s why in this article, I’m going to guide you through specialized drills designed to elevate your skills from casual dabbling to genuine fluency.

Topics that we will cover include: noun gender; both singular and plural nouns; verbs; adjectives and their declensions; direct objects and the accusative case; indirect objects and the dative case; and setting up your own drills.
