Despite having a German mother and speaking six languages, the author felt the frustration of guessing the right article, which led to a long research project to simplify the journey for you.

Author Norbert Racskó applies statistical analysis of German vocabulary to present you with secret rules for defining the right article and understanding German gender. For instance, did you know that 93% of nouns ending in -or, like der Alligator, are masculine, or that all metals are neuter?

Marrying science and art, the rules are ingeniously designed to be engaging and memorable using the innovative ‘Zoo of Rules’ concept, where each rule is paired with a uniquely hand-drawn illustration and funny descriptions to bolster retention.

To make the rules even more memorable and fun, Dr Jürgen Hase, a funny three-eared rabbit with a PhD in German linguistics, has joined as a co-author and shared his insights on every rule.
