Remembering that the GENDER of the German word for pillow is das Kissen

Notice the main characters of the MEMORY TRIGGER© picture are two smoking monkeys?

With all our lessons we teach you to remember the gender with the word, because this is very important in German language. In German nouns are either masculine, feminine, or neuter... and there is often no reason as to why! So if you have a way of remembering a noun's gender you will find this extremely useful - because the noun's gender in German not only affects the adjectives, it varies with the different CASES (that you will learn as you advance with your German language lessons).

  • Masculine nouns feature a male main character, and the voice recordings on these courses on their CD's is read by a male native German speaker.

    Text for masculine words is color coded blue.
  • Feminine nouns feature a female main character and the voice recordings on these courses on their CD's is read by a female native German speaker.

    Text for feminine words is color coded red.
  • Neuter nouns feature our unique Gender Trigger© - a smoking animal, unique to that Memory Trigger. This way you will never forget a gender.

    Text of neuter words is color coded orange.
Hence the smoking monkeys in this picture remind you of the word's NEUTER GENDER! There are no more powerful gender recognitions techniqes around.

Whenever you are trying to recall whether a German word is masculine or feminine or neuter, the answer lies in the Memory Trigger picture cartoon. To learn more about learning and remembering the gender of German nouns click on this link.

Remember also that scientists tell us that your brain never forgets a picture... and that every visual image you have seen in your life, is stored in it! The world's greatest computer hard disk is between your ears!

And when you have learned the Memory Trigger© picture, it is there, ever ready to 'pop'up into your head, when you need it! Or until you have used the word in conversation enough such that it is now indelibly stamped in your mind, and available at the tip of your tongue. This way words like das Kissen, the German for pillow (or cushion) become much easier to remember - IN FULL - GENDER and all.
