Split-screen before/after illustration in a cozy living room. On the left, a young man in a green hoodie sits on a gray couch with a puzzled, slightly worried expression, hands clasped. In front of him, a round wooden coffee table holds the same objects that appear in the after panel: a banana, a flashlight, a white mug, two pairs of scissors, a roll of tape, and a green sponge. On the right, the room looks warmer and more vivid; the man leans forward, grinning, and points at the banana. On the TV, the real “Wissen macht Ah!” hosts point at a banana on a studio table, with a bright, abstract burst graphic above the screen emphasizing the “aha” moment.

Split-screen illustration of the same man on a couch before and after finding an engaging German educational children’s show. Left panel: he slumps forward in a green hoodie, holding a remote with a tired, uncertain expression. A bowl of chips and a mug sit on the coffee table, and the TV in the background shows indistinct, blurry thumbnails, suggesting aimless browsing. Right panel: the scene is brighter and he leans in, smiling widely, still gripping the remote. On the TV, an orange cartoon mouse presents a cutaway diagram of a toaster-like machine with bread inside and colorful arrows circling to show how it works. The same snacks and cozy living-room setting emphasize how the show captures his attention.

Split-screen image of the same woman at a wooden table, shown in a before/after mood shift. On the left, the lighting is dark and cool; she hunches forward with eyes down, one hand pressed to her forehead, looking worried and drained. Above her head hangs a heavy charcoal storm cloud tangled with scribbly threads, and thin rain falls in front of the scene. An open notebook and pen sit near her elbow beside a mug. On the right, she sits in the same place but upright and relaxed, hands folded, eyes closed with a faint smile. The background turns bright and warm, with a blue sky and soft white clouds overhead, suggesting mental calm and clarity.

#langsky #deutsch

Wide split-screen scene with the same young woman in a red shirt, jeans, and a backpack climbing stairs. On the left panel, she smiles and steps up a few low, close concrete blocks under a bright blue sky; around her float simple, familiar icons like a house, a cup, a car, an apple, and playful pet images, suggesting frequent everyday encounters. On the right panel, the woman is seen from behind on a much larger, towering staircase of thick stone steps spaced farther apart and stretching upward into a pale sky. Only a few distant, more abstract symbols hover high above, emphasizing rarer encounters and a longer climb.

🇩🇪 Der Sprung vom mittleren zum fortgeschrittenen Niveau dauert viel länger als der vom Anfänger- zum mittleren Niveau, da fortgeschrittene Wörter seltener verwendet werden und du sie daher seltener hörst

#wortschatz #studysky #edusky

Split-screen illustration showing the same young man in two contrasting moments. Left panel: he sits at a cluttered desk with a laptop, scattered papers, a notepad, small cards, and a coffee mug. A gray, smoky haze surrounds him while faint icons float overhead—open books, puzzle pieces, speech bubbles, and question-mark symbols—implying that the material feels unclear. He leans on one hand and frowns, looking tired and overwhelmed. Right panel: he sleeps comfortably under a white duvet in a cozy bedroom with a wooden headboard and a sunlit window. Above him, the icons reappear in brighter colors and a tidy arrangement, alongside a small moon and stars, suggesting that sleep helps the brain organize patterns.

🇩🇪 Am Anfang wird nichts klar sein. Es braucht viele Beispiele und viel Schlaf, damit dein Gehirn neue Sprachmuster beherrscht.
🇬🇧 Nothing will be clear in the beginning. It takes many examples & lots of sleep for your brain to master new language patterns.

Split-screen photo showing the same man at a desk in two contrasting moments of typing. On the left, he leans forward with a frustrated, concentrated expression, eyes down on the keyboard. Both hands are clenched so that only the index fingers are extended, clearly peck-typing individual keys. The lighting is cooler and the scene feels tense. On the right, the man sits more upright and relaxed, smiling while touch-typing with both hands in a rapid blur, eyes on the monitor. The screen shows only indistinct, unreadable lines, and the background is warmly lit with a desk lamp, emphasizing an easier, fluent “flow” state.

Split-screen photo of the same woman wearing white wireless earbuds in two everyday situations. On the left, she stands at an ironing board in a bright, tidy room, calmly pressing a blue shirt with a steam iron and a small smile, suggesting a routine, low-effort chore that leaves attention free for listening. On the right, she sits at a desk in dimmer light, leaning on one hand with a worried, furrowed expression while studying a bill. Papers are scattered around a laptop and a calculator, conveying a mentally demanding task where the earbuds could feel distracting rather than helpful. The two halves emphasize calm versus stress.

🇩🇪 Hör dir Deutsch an, während du langweilige Aufgaben wie Hausarbeit oder Duschen erledigt, nicht während du Aufgaben ausführst, die Konzentration erfordern.

#edusky

Split-screen illustration of the same young man showing decision overload versus routine. Left side: he sits slumped at a cluttered desk with a laptop, headphones, scattered papers, sticky notes, cups, and snacks, looking tired with his head in his hand. Above and beside him float large thought bubbles and phone-style app icons with alert badges, plus choices of outfits and several meals (burger, pizza, salad), suggesting nonstop decisions and distraction. Right side: the scene is bright and calm. He sits upright and smiles while writing in an open notebook next to a laptop; his phone lies facedown. Behind him a clothing rack holds a row of similar shirts, and stacked meal-prep containers sit on a cabinet, showing preplanned choices that leave more energy for studying.

🇩🇪 Jede Entscheidung, die du triffst, verringert dein tägliches Entscheidungskontingent, wodurch du weniger Energie zum Lernen hast.
🇬🇧 Every decision you make reduces your daily decision quota, which leaves you with less energy to learn.

Split-panel before/after photo of the same woman at a desk. On the left, she frowns at a phone in her hand while a fan of overlapping phone screens floats beside her face, each crowded with many colorful app icons and notification badges, creating a busy, distracting feel. On the right, the scene matches in lighting and outfit, but she looks calm and focused. She holds the phone up to show a clean, minimal home screen with only a few icons, while an open book lies on the table and her other hand rests near the pages. A neutral wall and simple shelving in the background keep attention on the contrast between clutter and simplicity.

🇩🇪 Lösche jede App, die du seit einer Woche nicht benutzt hast, damit du dich aufs Lernen konzentrieren kannst

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.

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.

“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).

#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.
