The words you meet first are the everyday nouns, verbs and adjectives: man, vrouw, kind, huis, water, brood, groot, klein, goed, and the heavy-lifting verbs zijn (to be), hebben (to have), gaan (to go) and doen (to do). These flashcards collect over 200 of them, grouped by theme so related words stick together — family, the body, the house, food, and so on.
Flashcards work because of active recall and spaced repetition: seeing the front, trying to remember the back, then checking. This trainer keeps the words you mark 'Again' in the pile and drops the ones you know, so each round focuses on what you haven't mastered yet. Flip the direction to practise both recognising and producing the Dutch word.
Every Dutch noun is either a de-word or a het-word, and there's no reliable rule — you have to learn the article with the word. That's why each noun card shows it: de hond, het huis, de tafel. Learning them together from the start saves you from guessing later, and it's exactly what the de/het exam questions test.
They're the foundation, not the finish line. The A2 exam expects a much larger active vocabulary used in real reading, listening, writing and speaking. These flashcards build the core that everything else rests on; when you're ready to go further, the full course has themed vocabulary packs and all five DUO exam sections.
