This app presents 66 key noun ending patterns, each of which has a typical gender plus all of its known exceptions, however rare the word may be;
it's divided into a Reference and a Practice section.

Please note that this free version, while fully functionally, only contains a 6 patterns, as a sampling; you can easily upgrade within the app to the full version, all for a reasonable price.

* Contains over 1400 nouns, each of which may be spoken in the gender-specific voice.

* Use the Reference section where each pattern tells its typical gender as well as listing both a good number of sample nouns that follow this pattern, as well
as all known exceptions.

* Patterns and nouns are coloured according to their gender, all the better to remember.

* Touch any noun in the Reference section and hear it spoken -- in the right voice for the gender

* Option to show or hide English translations of any noun -- yet another way to remember the gender.

* Practice in three different ways, each of which remembers your answers.

* Just starting out? Try the Guided Mode in which the nouns are presented to you intelligently, according to your prior performance.

* Feeling more confident? Go for the Random Mode where any noun can be presented - even if you've never seen it before.
