The words which are used before the noun words such as die, der and das as these all are the grammatical gender rules or can say the articles are connected with the nouns, therefore, remember to always keep communication in mind, and know that it takes a long time to remember all the grammatical gender rules. Instead, start by focusing on common words, and words most useful to you personally, and study articles (der, die, das) together with the noun.
I would like to share one more interesting fact that in the German die, der, and das are the definite articles which means “the” in English language.
German nouns are divided into three grammatical genders:
- Masculine (der) – der Hund (the dog)
- Feminine (die) – die Blume (the flower)
- Neuter (das) – das Haus (the house)
Did you know all of these similarities before you started? That is actually really cool. I remember growing up and listening to my grandparents speak a little bit of German and always loved listening to people speak it. It does seem very complicated to learn so good for you. My Granny taught me how to count to 5, but it is something that I have to think hard about remembering.

Have fun on the rest of your journey.

Wow, that is an extensive list of the similarities! Hopefully it’s been helping your learning, seeing all these little tips and tricks. I had noticed when my mom’s family speaks in German that it sounded remarkably like English (sometimes I could fully grasp what they were saying). Your post makes it clear to me why.
