How can I use example sentences to understand context?

Learners sometimes know each word in a sentence but still miss the meaning of the whole expression. Context work solves this better than isolated translation.

Where to start

• Open Examples and search for the word or phrase.
• Read the German sentence first.
• Compare it with the first and optional second translation language.
• Open the lookup menu and use Chat about if you want an explanation of context or meaning.

Good to know

Examples are especially useful before saving a word. They show whether the word belongs to the kind of sentence you actually want to learn.
