Introduction

This book is the second in a series of three books. In this book you will find a story in easy German, which contains only feminine nouns. Yes that's right! In this story, there are no masculine or neutral nouns!

Nouns are very important in a text. In German they all start with a capital letter. That helps us to recognize them immediately. But for many learners of the German language, the three genders of German nouns represent a major learning difficulty. In addition, there are the articles and adjectives which change according to the noun. That is why I would like to show you German from a different perspective. All the nouns in the story are feminine. This means that all articles and adjectives in front of nouns are declined in the same way. And, this in turn, means that you can focus much more on this declination. You do not have to think about whether the noun is masculine, feminine or neutral.

If you read the story and the tips, you will see how simple and clear the declination is if you focus on only one gender. You will understand the connection of feminine nouns to the article and the adjective, and will be able to internalize the declination much faster.

All the nouns in this story are in context with each other. So you will remember that these nouns have appeared in the “feminine story” and must therefore be feminine.

Try to form an image of the story as clearly as possible. The drawings will help you to produce a little movie it in your brain. The clearer the images in your head, the longer they will stay there. It is a memory artist`s trick to memorize numerous words by linking them all through a story.

If we do not know the gender of a noun, we can use it anyway and we will usually be understood by our conversation partner, but our German will not sound very nice. These stories have been created to help you to improve your German and make it more beautiful. 70% of the 339 feminine nouns in this story are taken from the B1 vocabulary. With all three books from this series you can easily learn nearly 1000 nouns (volume 1: 383 masculine, volume 2: 339 feminine and volume 3: 259 neutral nouns) from everyday life.
