Animals in German

Animal names make great early vocabulary — and a handy way to practise articles, since every animal comes with its der/die/das.

Learn each animal together with its article.

💡 Notice that every animal carries its own article — der Hund, die Katze, das Pferd. Learn them as an 'article + word' pair, just like all German nouns.
