The English verb to know can be expressed with two different verbs in German:
1. kennen The verb kennen expresses that you are familiar with a person or place. Kennst du die neuen Nachbarn? Kennen Sie die Stadt Bitburg? 2. wissen The verb wissen expresses knowledge of a fact. It often introduces a subordinate clause starting with wer, was, wo, wann, warum, wie etc. Entschuldigung. Wissen Sie, wo der Bahnhof ist? Mein Großvater weiß viel über Geschichte. Note that kennen is conjugated as regular verbs but wissen shows irregularities: Many students that I have taught over the past five years know that vocabulary is important but they need tools how to learn words best. There can't be a one-size-fits-all method because everyone has different learning styles, needs, and preferences.
I usually introduce multiple ways of documenting vocabulary to my students and let them decide how they want to keep track of new words. Here are a few ideas, some traditional and some newer: 1. The traditional vocabulary book Looking back at my own school years I remember copying new words and phrases into a notebook. You simply divide the pages of a composition book into two columns: the target language e.g. German on the left and the translation in the native language e.g. English on the right. 2. A modified version of the traditional vocabulary book Add a third column to the notebook. Use the new word in a sentence. If you can't come up with one, check your textbook or a dictionary for ideas. You are more likely to remember vocabulary if it's used in context. Instead you could also use the column for simple drawings, synonyms or antonyms to make connections to words that you already know. |
