🇩🇪 Kategorisiere deine Aktivitäten danach, wie viel mentale und körperliche Energie sie brauchen, und wähle dann die Tageszeit, die für jede Aktivität am besten passt, je nachdem, wie viel Energie du zu dieser Zeit hast.
🇬🇧 Categorize your activities based on the amount of mental & physical energy 👇

A split-screen illustration shows the same young man studying at two different times of day. On the left, night sky with a crescent moon and stars fills the background. The student slumps over a notebook at a wooden table, propping his head on one hand while loosely holding a pen with the other. His eyes are heavy and his posture tired. Above him, a nearly empty battery icon suggests low energy. On the right side, under a bright sky with soft clouds and a glowing sun, the same man sits upright and smiling as he writes in his notebook. A full battery icon hovers above him and three stacked blocks labeled 1, 2, and 3 hint at clear priorities and a planned study order.

🇩🇪 Organisiere deine Zeit nach deinem Energieniveau.
🇬🇧 Organize your time based on your energy level.

🇩🇪 Wenn du es richtig machst, ist Organisation befreiend, da du immer weißt, dass du genau das tust, was du in diesem Moment tun solltest, und das hilft dir, dich zu konzentrieren.
🇬🇧 When you do it right, organization is liberating, since you’ll always know that you’re doing what you’re supposed… 👆

A split-screen illustration shows the same young man in two contrasting states of organization. On the left, he sits at a desk with a laptop, shoulders slumped and hand pressed to his forehead in frustration. Behind him, scribbled lines and vague thought bubbles float in the air, suggesting mental clutter and unfocused worries. The colors are warm but his expression is tired and overwhelmed. On the right, he stands upright and relaxed in front of a large board. Neatly arranged colored squares, like sticky notes, form a simple grid. He calmly places one square into position, symbolizing a clear plan, priorities, and focused action. The following text is written under on image: “Organization is a learnable skill & is essential to achieving your goals faster. When you do it right, organization is liberating, since you’ll always know that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing at the moment you’re doing it, and that helps you focus.” On the right is the Learn German Games logo.

🇩🇪 Organisation ist eine erlernbare Fähigkeit und unerlässlich, um deine Ziele schneller zu erreichen.
🇬🇧 Organization is a learnable skill & is essential to achieving your goals faster.

🇩🇪 erlernen: to learn (as a skill)
🇩🇪 die Fähigkeit: skill

#langsky #deutsch

“today” is also an adverb in English.

“das Heute” is the noun version of “heute” and it means “the present”.

So you have both versions in both languages. It’s just that English doesn’t capitalize nouns (anymore).

🇩🇪 der Zusammenhang: connection
🇩🇪 beherrschen: to master
🇩🇪 benötigen: to need

🇩🇪 schwerfallen: be difficult
🇩🇪 die Mühe: trouble (feminine cause it ends with -e)

🇩🇪 vereinfachen: simplify
🇩🇪 in Gang kommen: to get going, to get started

#deutschlernen #wortschatz #studysky

🇩🇪 Anfangs mögen sie dir vielleicht schwerfallen, aber sie sind deine Mühe auf jeden Fall wert.
🇬🇧 They might be challenging for you at first, but they’re well worth your while.

🇩🇪 Fang mit vereinfachten Geschichten an, damit du in Gang kommst
🇬🇧 Start with simplified stories to get you going

#deutsch

Two-panel illustration showing the contrast between rote memorization and learning through stories. On the left, a young man with brown hair and an orange long-sleeved shirt leans his head on one hand at a table, looking tired and discouraged. In front of him lies a neat grid of flashcards, each with a small, simple icon such as a heart, book, speech bubble, envelope or lightbulb, but they seem disconnected and boring. On the right, the same man now sits comfortably in an armchair, reading a blue book with a small smile. Around his head float thought bubbles with wordless mini-scenes: a person walking to a house, two people talking, a bus driving, symbolizing how stories link vocabulary into meaningful situations. The following text is written under on image: “Stories give you the logical links you need to remember the words and sentence structures you need to master a language.” In the middle is the Learn German Games logo.

🇩🇪 Geschichten geben dir die logischen Zusammenhänge, die du brauchst, um dir die Wörter und Satzstrukturen zu merken, die du zum Beherrschen einer Sprache benötigst.
🇬🇧 Stories give you the logical links you need to remember the words and sentence structures you need to master a language.

🇩🇪 Nutze deine Motivation, um gute Lerngewohnheiten aufzubauen, die dich auch dann tragen, wenn deine Motivation gering ist.

#studysky #edusky

Split-screen illustration in warm beige tones shows a single learner in a before/after scene. Left panel: the man sits slumped at a wooden table, cheek resting on his hand, eyes down. A large low-battery icon hangs on the wall, its red fill near empty. Light is flat; the desk is bare; posture conveys drained motivation. Right panel: the same man stands by a second table, body turned toward the wall, gently pressing another black dot into a tidy horizontal row of identical dots. A blank sheet and a small round dispenser sit on the table. The lighting reads warmer. The growing line of dots visualizes small, steady habits accumulating even when energy is low. The following text is written under on image: “Motivation will come & go, but habits are here to stay. Use your motivation to form good learning habits that will keep you going even when your motivation is low.” In the middle is the Learn German Games logo.

#wortschatz

A split-screen illustration shows the same person in bed before and after starting the day with audio. On the left, cool blue tones suggest pre-dawn. The man lies under the covers with heavy eyelids and a dull expression. A smartphone on the nightstand shows a bell icon, while a pair of white wired earbuds rest unused on the blanket. The pillow and sheets are muted and the room feels still. On the right, warm golden light streams from a window. The man now wears the earbuds and smiles softly. Subtle sound-wave lines curve near his ear. The phone lies on the table with a generic “playing” glyph. Posture is more upright, colors brighter, conveying alertness and a positive morning shift. The following text is written under on image: “Listen to German as soon as you wake up and open your eyes in the morning. Set German Podcasts as your alarm. This will warm up your brain to German and help you think in German all day.” On the right is the Learn German Games logo.

🇬🇧 If you try to learn them together, the opposites will get muddled in a few days, and you’ll forget which is which!

#deutschlernen #wortschatz

A two-panel illustration shows a single learner seated cross-legged on a beige floor against a light wall. On the left panel, the person wears an orange long-sleeve shirt and dark blue pants, scratching their head with a worried frown. Flashcards in three colors—yellow, light blue, and dark blue—are scattered and intermingled around their legs. A vertical divider separates the scenes. On the right panel, the same learner sits in the same spot, now calm with a slight smile, holding one blue card to study. In front of them, three neat stacks of cards are separated by color: a small yellow pile, a small blue pile, and a larger dark-blue pile. The muted palette and clean lines emphasize order replacing confusion. The following text is written under on image: “Avoid learning opposites at the same time until you have mastered both words individually. If you try to learn them together, the opposites will get muddled in a few days, and you’ll forget which is which!” In the middle is the Learn German Games logo.

🇩🇪 Vermeide, Gegenteile gleichzeitig zu lernen, bevor du beide Wörter einzeln wirklich gut beherrschst.

#studysky #edusky

A two-panel illustration shows the same young man in a before/after layout. On the left, against a cool blue background, he stands with slumped shoulders and a worried face, holding a pale square flashcard marked by a faint symbol. Around him, three floating cards—cloud, heart, and music note—appear semi-transparent and washed out. On the right, the scene warms to a soft tan. The man’s posture is upright and calm, with a slight smile. He holds a crisp card with a clear music note icon. The floating cards now look vivid, each with solid shapes and colored borders. A vertical divider splits the two moods, signaling progress from blur to clarity. The following text is written under on image: “Forgetting is your friend. You need to forget & re-learn words many times before you really understand them. Don’t feel bad when you forget. Just enjoy the opportunity of re-learning with more details. The 2nd time around is easier & more insightful.” On the right is the Learn German Games logo.

A two-panel, word-free illustration shows a single person in side profile against a warm beige background, divided by a thin vertical line. Left panel (before): the figure faces right with the mouth open and relaxed, as a bold arrow near the jaw points outward, visualizing “sound leaving the mouth.” Right panel (after): the same figure now has rounded lips in a controlled position; a curved arrow rises from the neck toward the mouth, suggesting “listening guides articulation.” The consistent hairstyle, simple shadows, and clean outlines keep focus on the mouth shape and ear area, reinforcing the tip: train the ear first to find the correct mouth position. The following text is written under on image: “Pronunciation needs a physical change in your mouth and tongue so it needs time to learn. Use your ear to find the correct mouth position. That’s why you need to train your ear first.” Around the middle is the Learn German Games logo.

A side-by-side composition shows the same young woman before and after focused listening. On the left, she faces right with her mouth slightly open and brows furrowed, as if reacting to a flawed sound. Small, jagged sound marks leave her mouth. A vertical divider splits the frame. Centered near the divider is a circular “loop” symbol with two arrows surrounding a stylized waveform, suggesting self-monitoring and playback. On the right, the woman wears black over-ear headphones, eyes closed, fingertips resting lightly on the cup, her expression calm and assured. The background is a soft beige, and the tones are muted, emphasizing the idea of internal feedback and improvement. The following text is written under on image: “You are your own best teacher. You’re the only person who is always with yourself. That’s why you need to train your ear to recognize what feels wrong, because this constant immediate internal feedback is what is going to eventually make you fluent.” On the right is the Learn German Games logo.

🇩🇪 Du bist dein eigener bester Lehrer.

Split-screen diptych of one learner at a wooden table with the same open paperback. Left panel: night scene in cool blue light; a crescent moon is visible outside the window. The young man sits slightly slouched, eyes lowered, lightly pointing at a line in the book, as if attempting to review immediately. Right panel: morning scene in warm golden light; a round wall clock shows a later time and sun streams through a window. The same person sits more upright, hands poised above the page, expression calm and composed. The shift in lighting, the clock, and the change in posture communicate a simple message about timing practice: wait several hours and then return the next day, instead of repeating right away. The following text is written under on image: “Repeat after a few hours and then the next day, not right away. Use your phone to remind you when to repeat next.” In the middle is the Learn German Games logo.

🇩🇪 Wiederhole nach ein paar Stunden und dann am nächsten Tag, nicht sofort.

Split-screen visual of an ear-tuning concept on a warm, neutral background. A slim vertical slider with a round gray knob sits at center, dividing a fuzzy “before” state on the left from a crisp “after” state on the right. Left: a soft, out-of-focus human ear with two translucent, pale waves that overlap and drift together, implying sounds that cannot be distinguished. Right: a sharp, well-lit ear with two clearly separated waveforms in teal and blue, sine-like and parallel as they approach the ear, signaling clean separation. Subtle shadows give depth, lines stay minimal. No words or letters appear. The scene conveys a shift from imprecise listening to precise discrimination. The following text is written under on image: “If your ear isn’t able to distinguish 2 sounds, your mouth won’t be able to reproduce them. Listening is a prerequisite to speaking. Dedicate time to listen to German sounds attentively before trying to force your mouth to do something it doesn’t have any feedback on.” On the right is the Learn German Games logo.

🇩🇪 Wenn dein Ohr zwei Laute nicht unterscheiden kann, kann dein Mund sie nicht wiedergeben.
