I have a suggestion for the German-English translations.  Its very important to know the gender of the noun in German which is determined by the definite article (der, das, die).  These are important when forming different cases and prepositional phrases,etc.  Quite a few of the nouns have the indefinite article (ein or eine) next to them in the public word lists.  "eine" is for feminine nouns and "ein" is for masculine and neuter nouns. So its impossible to learn the gender of the masculine and neuter nouns through this website.   I wonder if this could be modified....and have all nouns use the definite article (der, das, die) in the nominative case.  This would help out a lot.

...I guess This would affect all German translations (not just to English)
