Wanted to ask for some tips since I’m really struggling with this trying to learn German.
I know there are certain ways to guess the gender (e.g. -er endings are usually masculine, -ung feminine and loan words neutral) but often times I’m just butchering the whole sentence by not knowing the correct articles.
Let me demonstrate my frustration: in many cultures the moon is considered “feminine”, but in German it has masculine article!
Bitte, hüfe!
I just learn them as part of the word itself. I’m learning via natural comprehension, so it just gives me a “feeling” when it’s not right.
