Gendered

Gendered is a very simple app intended to help with the learning of the gender of nouns in languages such as German, Spanish or French.

As per Wikipedia:

a grammatical gender system is a specific form of a noun class system, where nouns are assigned to gender categories that are often not related to the real-world qualities of the entities denoted by those nouns

Currently only German is supported.

How it works

The mechanics are as simple as possible. A noun is presented and the user has to choose the right gender for it:

A screenshot of the Gendered app in dark theme displaying the German noun 'Sucht' with several definitions. There's a check mark icon meaning the answer was correct, an icon of a speaker to indicate to the users that they can listen to the pronunciation of the noun, and the interface buttons to set the answer as feminine, neuter or masculine.

How to get it

Gendered is not available in the official app stores yet, and it might never get there because they require a fair amount of paperwork.

Alternative app stores such F-Droid and AltStore are being considered.

In the meantime, if you are in desperate need of a build you can try the development documentation.

Why Gendered

The gender of nouns is crucial in certain languages in order to speak them correctly, so having a dedicated app to practice is very helpful.

It could have been a website

Correct. But this author happens to enjoy Flutter as a development framework.
