Very good deck
on 1681752497
Would be good if the German examples had an English translation. As it stands, they are mostly useless to someone learning since I can't understand most of the phrase. Also I am very skeptical that they are truly ordered by frequency.

Has a lot of several words phrases that are context dependent seemingly. I really wonder how they came up with this and it seems they just auto generated it from a (poor) tokenization of random texts not appropriate for learners
on 1626217565
For context: about 20% of the way through the deck doing both German to English and English to German notes.

Great frequency deck! Any beginning German learner could use this deck to see tremendous jumps in vocabulary, and get you better prepared for immersion content. The audio files have been 99% great (a small handful are so-so quality).

Cons: The example sentences are very hit or miss. Some make the word very easy to understand through context (simple sentences, easy vocab). Many, maybe most(!), use difficult vocabulary that is impossible for a beginner to understand. I've resorted to changing sentences myself for particularly difficult words for me. Some English words have multiple meanings, but the English definitions only has the word. I don't think this is a huge deal, and anything particularly egregious I again modify the card myself.

Big thank you to the creator for this deck - super useful and would recommend to everyone.

This is a really great deck! I was wondering though if anyone knows of a way to have the german word as the front of the card and the English as the back? I'm mainly trying to learn to read german so simple recall of german would be better for me than having to reproduce the german.

Hello,
native german here, i was looking for decks for my girlfriend to use.

I have looked at about 100 cards of those the audio was
80% - done by some guy with a strong russian accent
15% - text to speech
5% - native german


so i cannot recommend the audio of this

Good deck, which I have enjoyed, but I would not recommend it for a beginner.

While the fact that the deck has the most common German words in order should make it ideal for a beginner, the sentences they are embedded in are often very complex and occasionally use unusual vocabulary, which severely reduces its approachability.

For example, one of the earliest sentences is "ich bin damit einverstanden", trying to teach the word "ich", "I". The natural and most common sentence to use would have been " Ich stimme zu", or "I agree". The sentence actually used translates literally to "I am with that in agreement", which is unnecessary complex for a beginner, and not the the most common phrase.

Additionally, the English translations are often inaccurate. The text is also read in a heavy, non-standard Bavarian accent. Great if you're moving there, but no so much if you want to learn standard german pronunciation.

Start with this and customize

First, the reasons why this is a good deck....

It's organized fairly well and already has the audio for every word.


Second, I would make the following adjustments:

If starting as a beginner, I would begin with concrete nouns such as mother, father, dog, cat etc. and replace the English text with German definitions and a good image from Google Images. This will prevent you from trying to translate everything when you get to the reading stage, which will slow you down and inhibit your ability to learn the language. If you come across, abstract nouns or verbs that you feel you aren't ready for, just suspend those and move onto the other ones. After a while you'll get to where you can start reading the German definitions and using them to build the rest of your vocabulary.

At the beginning of the year I kept the deck as it was and used the English definitions to get the German word, and I have to say it was the least effective language learning method of all the ones I have tried. After using pictures and removing the English definitions, it is one of the most effective (and efficient) method that I am using.

So, if you personalize this deck, and make a grammar deck to go on the side, then things will really start clicking with consistent practice. I also recommend you check out Gabriel Wyner's web page 'Fluent Forever'- It has a lot of good tips for getting you started.

Cheers

It's not sorted by frequency

I'd like to learn words that are sorted by frequency, since the most often used are usually the easiest ones. This deck just randomly picks words so it's not recommended for a beginner to use it.

Horribly formatted, idiosyncratic translations

If the deck was what its title says it is, it would be amazing. Unfortunately, this is one of the most bizarrely constructed decks I've ever seen. There are dozens of fields per card, many redundant, some with hundreds of words that are unconnected (I'm assuming these might have been mechanically generated, why else would a list of political parties -- and even the DDR (!) -- show up in the 'zukunft' card?)

Although lots of this redundant information isn't visible when using the cards (so why bother?), the cards themselves have too many lines of text (examples, morphological changes, word types, etc.). The result is visually complicated, requiring a lot of work to see which bit to focus on and remember. Repeat that x4000 and you have a lot of confusion and wasted time.

In short, the deck is a mess in both construction and use.

If you know some basic html then you can trim the formatting to create something closer to functional. But the idiosyncratic translations can't be bulk corrected in this way, so the value is still questionable.

If you want something rough and ready, this will do the job after some tweaking. But really it's a shame that we are still waiting for a functional frequency deck :/

This German deck. Should I use it?

Hey, to the person below me or anyone that has a good level of german, wich words doesn't have the main definition? I am new to german and I can't possibly know if a word have the main, or just the secondary definition.

Thanks!!
on 1434585600
Check the German word with a dictionary!

This is an excellent deck taken from a published book. However I would advise you to check the definitions provided with a good dictionary. I have noticed that a lot of the definitions provided are not the main definition of the word, but secondary, less used definitions. You will need to edit some cards to include the primary definition of the German word. Also, some of the sample sentences given for the German word are not examples of how it is used in most cases, but rather figurative secondary uses of the German word.

It's a great deck, but it can be a little misleading in some cases. So check.

Great resource

What a lovely resource. I use these cards together with Living German, Living language, Assimil, Linguaphone, Berlitz courses. These cards really help to remember most used words.
