Key learning points
- [sch] is pronounced as in 'schreiben', [sp] as in 'spielen' and [st] as in 'stark'.
- Conversational words are used in informal situations to add emotion to a statement, e.g., 'Echt?' (really?!).
- Modal verbs (e.g., 'können') are used with an infinitive, which is placed at the end of the sentence.
- 'Jed-' means 'every'. Use the same ending as the definite article if the noun is the subject: ‘jeder, jede, jedes’.
- When a masculine noun is the object in the sentence, use 'jeden'. The feminine and neuter forms remain unchanged.

Common misconception
You can use conversational language (an informal register) whenever you want to.
A situation affects the register we use when speaking (i.e., the words we use). You use an informal register with friends, but a formal register with a teacher. Using formal register in formal situations is important in German-speaking communities.
