Language quiz: Test your knowledge!
Everything about the language quiz
Language is a broad field. It never remains constant. It is constantly changing, new words are added, others are forgotten. The various language quizzes draw attention to this and put a finger in many a spelling and grammar wound. After all, plurals we thought we knew for sure or almost forgotten proverbs can drive us to despair. Prove your knowledge in the German language quizzes!
The language quizzes are mainly about German, the official language in our country. Around 90 to 105 million people worldwide speak it. That’s a small number compared to English or Spanish. However, our vocabulary is quite large. Language experts estimate that the German language has around 300,000 to 500,000 words.

According to studies, the command of German spelling and grammar has become increasingly poor. New media such as text messages and WhatsApp are contributing to this. Emotions count here instead of correct spelling.
READING helps to counteract the shortening of the German language. Those who read fluently can grasp words quickly and remember them later. It also expands the active vocabulary.
By the way: What is the plural of quiz?
The plural of der Quiz is die Quiz, according to Duden. A second plural is also used: die Quizze. However, according to Duden, this is only used colloquially.
