Fourth checkpoint. This stretch closed out the full German case system (genitive, the last of four) and added several concrete "settling in Germany" scenarios - listening strategy, clothing, the future tense, dates, object pronouns, and banking.
1. When should you read the listening transcript (Lesson 37)?
2. "I'm wearing a blue jacket." feminine (Lesson 38) - Ich trage eine ______ Jacke.
3. "It will rain." (Lesson 39) - Es ______ regnen.
4. In German date order, what comes first - day or month (Lesson 41)?
5. "I see him." accusative (Lesson 42) - Ich sehe ______.
6. "I'd like to open an account." (Lesson 43) - Ich möchte ein Konto ______.
7. "Anna's apartment," genitive-s form (Lesson 44) - ______ Wohnung.
| Case | Role | Masculine article |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | subject | der |
| Accusative | direct object | den |
| Dative | indirect object / fixed prepositions | dem |
| Genitive | possession (mostly written) | des |
Only masculine visibly changes across all four - feminine, neuter, and plural mostly reuse forms, which is genuinely good news for how much you actually have to memorize.
The grammar system is now complete for A1-2 purposes. From here, growth is mostly about vocabulary breadth, natural sentence flow, and exam-specific practice - not new structures. A good next move: attempt a full timed Goethe A1 Modellsatz, or pick a board (Goethe vs. telc, per MISSION.md) now that you have enough exposure to compare formats meaningfully.
