Try to keep it practical (like something that would be fairly doable, you just havent gotten around to it...yet)

There are apps that you can input text into and they can replace the characters in each word incrementally to help learn them. Wanna get into that

Do Germans care a ton if you get the wrong article? That must be a common thjng for even native speakers to get the article wrong on millions of individual words

    They learn the article with the word. So they never really have a problem. The biggest problem is that the article is necessary to know how other words need to be written.

    Also, in English you can have one word that is written the same but can be the name of two entirely different things. We use the context of the sentence to determine which word is actually intended. Germans know through different articles, which word is intended.

    Also no German really gets upset by it if you get it wrong. They know that German is complicated in that regard. They are usually just happy that you are trying.

    The only person that has ever said anything at all about it, is a colleague that I asked to correct me. It helps with the learning process.

    I find that it's mainly frustrating to those learning German at an advanced level, since using a wrong article immediately exposes you as a non-native speaker. Because yeah, as the others said, it hardly ever happens that native speakers use a wrong article...
