📚 How I Study German with Lingoda (online school)
I’ve been learning German with Lingoda, and over time I’ve created a strategy that really works for my brain — not just to pass lessons, but to actually understand and remember what I’m learning.
🌟 Before I Start a New Chapter
I always begin with vocab prep.
I go through all the lessons in the chapter and collect vocabulary.
→ I sort the words into topics (e.g. food, visiting doctor, holidays)
→ I use Notion to build vocab lists — with lots of emojis to help my brain make visual connections 🧠💡
→ This way, I already feel familiar with the words before they come up in class
I check the lesson material ahead of time.
If there’s any new grammar topic, I:
→ add it to my “Grammar” page in Notion
→ add color + emojis + tables 😂
It takes a few minutes, but it helps me feel less lost when class starts.
Some grammar topics are hard. So I…
→ Create flashcards for the tricky ones
→ Color-code and categorize them in a flashcard box
→ This makes it super easy to find the rule I need — even during class
I keep my notes minimal — I focus mostly on writing down:
→ expressions I’ve never heard
→ corrections the teacher gives
If I say something wrong, I repeat it correctly right away. This helps me remember faster — like mental muscle memory
🧹 After Class = My Favorite Part
Once class is over, I take all my messy notes and plug them into my vocab & grammar pages.
Everything goes back into my chapter master list, which helps me track what I’ve actually learned.
It’s like cleaning up after a mental storm — and it helps me own the content.

I’m currently studying German through this platform and genuinely enjoy the structure it gives me — though, like with any method, there are both pros and cons.
I just wanted to share what’s working for me right now 💬✨
