    I outline a great technique for remembering noun gender in German. If you create vivid images in your head that associate the gender of the noun with famous people of that gender, combined with that word, then you will never forget it.
    Creating images in your mind is the best way for putting information into your long term memory, and it works great for learning noun gender during language learning.

    That is a very good idea. As a native German speaker I never had that problem, but as a DaF-teacher I'm always looking for tips and "Eselsbrücken" to remember the articles easier.
    What I like to use are color coding der - blue, die - red, das - green and die (pl.) yellow/orange. It's not quite as strong as remembering a weird picture but uses the same technic.
    An other thing is using movements. "rock-paper-sissors" in German der Stein, das Papier, die Schere (although we do it Schere, Stein, Papier) is perfect for this. Each word uses one of the articles and this gesture can stand for the article. rock - der, paper - das, sissors - die.
    I hope this helps anybody out there!
    And don't give up. The more you hear the words the easier it gets.

      Yeah there is no substitute for simply just using the words. It's all about the repetition. I'll take these techniques into account, thanks! 😀🇩🇪

    Really interesting technique. I've been learning German for 5 years now and still confuse the noun genders when I speak. I am currently studying in Bavaria and can say that German people will always understand what you intend to say, even if you mess up the genders and the adjective Endungen. Very good video nevertheless!

      Thanks! Yeah I still make many mistakes with grammar but it's never the issue. You're right in that most of your problems will come from lack of vocabulary as opposed to incorrect noun gender.

    Very nice video and technique, thank you! The Fluent Forever book suggests something like "exploding" for masc, "burning/on fire" for fem, and "shattering" for neuter (or something like that), but your suggestion provides a nice alternative that can be combined. Sometimes it's easier to picture things with a person (e.g. Obama putting on der Anzug). Thanks again.

    Man, I'm from Mexico and I'm learning German, I started watching videos on UA-cam in Spanish, but some of them are really bad or very confusing. They use bad techniques to "teach" a new lenguage. Please keep making videos like this. Videos like yours are very hepful and get people interested in learning.

    I'm a native German speaker who moved to the UK when I was 9 and had never spoken English. Gender was simply a matter of being a part of a word to me but the more proficient I became in English the more I realised the beauty of English in that it's almost entirely genderless outside of the use of personal pronouns. Yes, there are adjectival remnants like the blond man and the blonde women but they are few and very few native English speakers even know about them when they write. As a very fluent English speaker, I've spent nearly 50 years on and off in the UK but worked a few years in Germany and Austria, I recognise how clunky German is. It's impossible to be precise in German in any economic way when it comes to science and technology. Gender and case interaction is absolutely crazy in German and I remember trying to teach my English children German and how baffled they were by it. They weren't just baffled but the complexity upset them.

    I just started learning German a couple of weeks ago and had been deciphering the masculine and feminine nouns in a very cartoonish way, like imagining a dog with a top hat and mustache, or a cat with a bonnet 🤣 I was hoping that maybe there was more of a science of how to remember, but i guess abstract thought really is the best way haha 😂.

      In spanish is feminine, we also have masculine and feminine articles: el, la, los , las.
      But the problen for me is because sone stuff are feminine in spanish but in german are masculine or neutral.
      La mesa feminine - Der Tische masculine
      El sol masculine - Die sonne femenine

      Everyone’s brain learns like that, it’s how we remembered things when we couldn’t write. We would associate a particular place with bushes that have good/bad berries. Everytime u Want those berries again, u would remember the place and kind of the cues that get u there.
      Humans remember best with association, search it up.
      It’s just harder to create such visuals from our imagination bc, well, it’s in our imagination. Therefore, it might feel difficult a to create something that works, but trust me, after a lot of visuals, u will remember :).
