Short answer: each drill tests eight words from one topic guide in sixteen questions: recall the German word, recognise it by ear, use it in a sentence, and say what it means. New rounds reshuffle the mix, and missed answers go into a review list. Every noun comes with its article, so you learn der, die or das with the word. Every answer is spoken and every sentence is glossed word by word. Thirteen out of sixteen is a pass; repeat a drill a week later to make the words stick.
