Suchbild: Die Hotelrezeption

Lesson · 3 rules · about 3 min

An empty hotel lobby full of things to find: tap each object in the picture, then give it its article.

  1. 1A compound takes the gender of its last part
  2. 2Same front part, different article
  3. 3Devices in -er are masculine
Why this matters

A picture hunt instead of a deck: one old-fashioned hotel lobby with 32 things to find in it, the words you need when you check in, wait for a room or ask at the desk — der Kronleuchter, die Tischklingel, das Gästebuch, der Gepäckwagen by the revolving door. The prompt asks, for example, Wo ist die Überwachungskamera? You tap it in the picture. Each find shows its label, coloured by its gender, then leaves a small tick in that colour, so you can see what you have already found. A tap on an empty spot costs nothing; a tap on the wrong object tells you what you hit and you keep looking, and after three misses the right one is shown. No object is asked twice in the same run. Once you have passed a run, the hunt turns harder: the prompt hides the article (Wo ist ___ Tischklingel?), and after the find you choose der, die or das yourself.
