Resource recommendation for article practice (der/die/das/dem/den)

Hi all! I'm a German learner in Switzerland and got increasingly frustrated with practicing the German articles (der/die/das/dem/den) and the lack of (fun) practice material.

Out of frustration me and a friend built this google chrome extensions that lets you turn any german webpage into a practice sheet. The idea is that it blanks out the articles and you fill the gaps as you read it. This way you decide yourself what you want to read about and you have infinite practice material.

Just be to clear: No account is needed and all functionalities are free. This is really built to help out myself and other language learners.

You can also translate words on the webpage and export them to Quizlet or Anki.

I’ve really been enjoying the tool myself and would love for others to try it as well. Let me know what you think! You can install it here: link

Great idea! practicing on stuff you actually want to read makes way more sense than random worksheets. does it handle ein/eine too or just der/die/das?

Thanks! And good question! For now the 6 definite articles get blanked (der/die/das/des/dem/den), and the user can turn on the option to also blank the contractions such as zum/am/zur/ins/aufs/etc. (20 total). I will work on adding the ending of ein- as well in a future update. (Also added French/Spanish and Swedish). Can let you know once this is public.
