Articles + gender + plural (Korean has none)

Korean has no articles, gender or obligatory plural; German needs der/die/das, case-changing endings and a plural form for every noun. Learn each noun as article+noun+plural.

from your first language

Main-clause verb comes SECOND, not last

Korean is verb-final — so German subclauses (weil…verb-at-end) will feel natural, but main clauses are the trap: the verb must sit in 2nd position.

from your first language

Case lives in the article, not a particle

Korean attaches 이/가/을/를 after the noun; German fuses the same job into the article BEFORE it (der → den → dem). Same idea, opposite side.

core challenge

Noun gender (der/die/das)

German gender is largely unpredictable and must be learned with each noun. Learn the article WITH the word.

core challenge

Case endings (Nom/Akk/Dat/Gen)

Articles and adjectives change with case. Watch the verb/preposition — it decides the case.

core challenge

Verb to the end in subclauses

After weil/dass/wenn the conjugated verb goes to the very end. English keeps it next to the subject.
