How to Use This Tool Effectively

Start with one mode at a time — "After der/die/das" is the easiest because there are only two endings: -e and -en. Once you score 85%+ on that mode, move to "After ein/eine" where masculine nominative (-er) and neuter nominative/accusative (-es) are the key differences. The "No article" mode is the hardest — practise it last.
