[Course Forum] 5000 German Words (Top 87%) by Paul_Wilson (maintained by EHurtt)

Hello, I’m new to this course but I did the 1000 words of German recently.

My question is, Is this course all in alphabetical order?

Thanks.

@a101325 - There are at least three courses of 5000 German words…

This one, 5000 German Words (top 87%) by Paul_Wilson is in alphabetical order for about 165 levels, has one lesson with numbers, and then appears to add a few dozen words in alphabetical order, and then a few dozen more in alphabetical order, etc.

Another one, 5000 German Words (top 87%) sorted by frequency by ponchoosh is sorted by frequency.

And a third, 5000 German Words sorted by frequency (strict typing) by puffino is not only sorted by frequency, but also requires strict typing.

Hi guys, I’m getting to level 49 on this course (5000 words sorted by frequency (strict typing) by puffino) and the words are no longer pronounced (aka, there’s no audio file). Can someone confirm that this is going to be the case for all of the future levels? I am starting to realize that I memorize it better if I listen to the word as well as write it.

Most of those courses don’t have audio throughout most of the course.

You may wanna correct der Bart, "-e

Could you please correct this one?
der Dampf, - the steam (no pl.)

Hello there a typo for the word ekelig (nasty; disgusting) in level 176, it should be eklig

ekelig is fine.

der Bezug, -e the reference (1); the pillowcase or duvet cover (2)
from level 187, should’nt there be an umlaut for the plural???
Also der Automat from level 35 isnt it a weak noun and thus have -en for the accusative??

Hi @glynsexton, this looks like the forum for the German 5000 course you’re currently working on. It’s an old forum, but hopefully someone will respond to your questions here.

OK. Thank you
