Hi everybody,

I’m experimenting this week! I’ve created some flashcards for German-speaking learners on Quizlet! There are 8 pieces of vocabulary on the topic of companies.

How does it work?

Click on the flashcard to see the English/German word on the other side. When you have spent some time learning the words, choose a study mode at the bottom right for more fun learning options – scatter, learn and test are my favourites.

You can also click on the blue symbol to change the settings.

Have fun and let me know if you like it.

All the best for now,

Derek
