What it actually is

Emanuel writes essay-length pieces tracing how a German prefix or word family actually works — why 'aufmachen', 'ausmachen' and 'anmachen' mean what they mean — with jokes and exercises attached. For learners who want the underlying logic rather than a table, it's the best free German writing online. Most articles are free with a membership for exercises and archives; posts are long and the tone is chatty, which isn't for everyone.
