Articles mode

Pick the correct article — der, le, el, ο — before the noun sticks in memory.

What is Articles mode?

Articles mode drills definite articles — the small words before nouns that encode gender and number. In German you choose der, die, or das; in French le or la; in Greek ο, η, or το. Each card shows a noun and asks you to pick the correct article. Gender errors are among the most persistent mistakes language learners make; dedicated article practice targets that gap directly.

How Articles mode works in wordlet

Articles mode is available when your deck language is German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, or Greek. Card terms should include the article in the front text — for example, der Hund or le chat. wordlet strips the article for the drill and presents the noun with article choices. Pick the right one and get immediate feedback; mistakes loop back in the session. FSRS tracks your progress on each card.

Why article practice helps you remember

Gender and article agreement are learned through repetition in context, not rules alone. Articles mode forces a quick decision on every noun, building the habit of retrieving gender with the word itself. That pairs well with flashcard meaning recall — you remember both what the word means and how to use it in a sentence. Consistent practice turns article selection from a guess into a reflex.

When to use Articles mode

Use Articles mode when you are building vocabulary in a language with grammatical gender and want to stop guessing der versus die or le versus la. Add articles to your card terms, set the deck language, and run a dedicated session or sprinkle article drills into your routine alongside Learn mode. Greek learners can combine Articles with Stress mode for article and accent practice on the same deck.
