Audio Speed 100%
Adjust the playback speed for audio examples -- still sounds fine down to about 70%.
Dark Mode Switch between light and dark mode -- your choice is remembered for future visits.
Still a work in progress, so let me know if you spot a glitch.
Das war echt cool! Es erinnert mich ein bischen an das:

Kannst du es naechstes Mal so machen?
Unbedingt :D
I kind of think Amazon is the devil, but have you considered doing that affiliate thing where you get money from recommending stuff? If you’re recommending books and stuff already….
I thought about it but frankly, I was always too lazy to set everything up. I don’t recommend that much and I don’t want to do so artificially just to boost revenue. I don’t like Amazon. I just put up with it.
I agree about “drum set” being more common.
Brilliant, keep the good work. I love this :)
WOW! Vielen Dank! Faszinierend und sehr nützlich!!
Pictorial and colorful expressions enrich your posts as has the oral component.
I’d like to suggest cascading the content so drilling can be done on demand.
Level 1. Reduce the written content at the top level. A helicopter view concept
Level 1. Include audio for the pronunciation
Level 2. Add dynamic links to add further details, when required. That is, drilling down
Level 3. Use dynamic links to include examples on word usage, deeper drilling. Examples are very useful and they are not readily available in standard dictionaries.
Actually, it is the same post but layered. I think this style would increase access flexibility hence attracting more readers.
I love your post in any form :)
Uhm…. that sounds like an app :). Seriously, I thought about something like that for prefix verbs and it would be super cool but this is beyond what I can do.
As for the examples… that’s something I could do but it would make the whole thing much much bigger in size. Maybe I could type them on an extra paper so you have the relation sheet and the example sheet. Would that make sense?
Sehr interessant! Toll! Weiter so.
toll! Ich will dieses pdf tragen!
Was meinst du mit “tragen”? Das ist glaube ich das falsche Wort.
Facinating! It’s interesting to see how the English –duce and –duct words evolved from the root. I don’t think of English having prefix verbs, but there they are.
Oh English is FULL of prefix verbs. And if you see phrasal verbs like “put up” “put down” “put in” as verbs with ultimately separated prefixes then you pretty much have German numbers :)
Super idea would love more of these connections in the language as they clarify how it all wotks!!
Pdf links of your recent posts are not working. :(
Yeah, sorry. I’ll add those after Christmas. The link to the chart should work though.
This is great. I’d like to see a similar explanation of the meaning of the verb prefix “ver-“. Keep up the good work!
Nice idea. That one’s gonna be huuuuuuuuuge though.
Toll! Ich mag das Bild. Es erklärt sehr, wie die Wörter verfilzt sind und ich würde gerne mehr von diesen Bilder sehen! Wenn du lustige Zeichnungen oder Bilder dazugebe, denn würde es noch besser sein. :)
ich kann leider nicht zeichnen, aber mal gucken. Wenn ich was finde, was passt, dann mach ich’s.
Can I place an order for the wallpaper? (Not the computer variety.)
Wait? You mean for your room :D?
Realise, on reflection, that curtains would be better as they go with zuziehen and aufziehen.
:)
There seems to be a technical issue with posting comments from an iPad. I signed in with Facebook ok, and typed my comment, but when I clicked “Post Comment”, the “Leave a comment” section just completely disappeared without posting what I’d typed. I had to use my computer to post my comment above.
This is weird. Definitely not a setting on my end (that I would have control over). What do you mean you signed in with Facebook though? To wordpress? Have you tried leaving a comment without email and name? I do allow for anonymous comments, so that should work.
Wonderful! I love seeing how words are etymologically related (“cognates” from co-birth). More of these would be fascinating.
One small thing: “Schlagzeug” in English would be more commonly “drum kit” rather than “drum set”.
Hmm, I don’t know about that… I’d use “set” and “kit” interchangeably and might even slightly prefer “set.” But that could definitely be one with a lot of regional variation.
I’ll definitely do more next year. It’s quite fun.
I’ve been looking for a dictionary that does this for all words/common roots for the longest time.
If you find one, let me know. Otherwise I’ll have to do it myself, I guess :).
Oh, but you could check out “Intuitive Vocabulary” if you don’t already know it. It’s not as comprehensive and the navigation is a bit weird but you can find lots of connections between German and English in there.

I love this!! Hope you make some more for other families :)
Cool! I had wondered about “Herzog” before, and now it definitely makes sense. This is a great idea, and I’d love to see more of these kinds of charts.
Ausgezeichnete Wortkarte! Gute Arbeit!
