WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Unit 2 language and identity terms, from your notes
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it. Try the real app now, free!
This is a text splitter rather than a tutor. It turns pasted lines into cards by rule, and a gap in the paste is a gap in the deck.
Standard German is one variety among several
Hochdeutsch is a written standard that no region speaks natively in full, and treating it as the real German and everything else as deviation is the commonest error on this theme. Swiss German is not an accent of it; it is a group of Alemannic dialects whose speakers switch to the standard for writing, which is a diglossia worth being able to name.
Borrowing is argued about, which makes it usable
Denglisch is a real controversy with real positions: a borrowing is either an efficiency or an erosion depending on who is speaking. This is the shape the argumentative essay wants, because it hands you a concession to answer rather than a fact to report. Vocabulary about loanwords is therefore also argument vocabulary.
Du and Sie is a social system, not a grammar table
The pronoun choice encodes distance, workplace culture and generation, and it has shifted: firms that once used Sie throughout now use du by policy. Describing that shift, with who resisted it, is a better answer than reciting when each form is used. Prompts on this theme reward observation of change.
The project rewards a variety you can defend
Since the revision the speaking score comes from research presented in three minutes and then defended over four unseen questions. A candidate who has one variety held precisely, its region, its speakers, one attitude towards it, answers follow-ups. A candidate with a list of dialect names does not.
Citation frames double as theme vocabulary
On this unit the essay's citation machinery is itself on topic: laut der Quelle, die Autorin behauptet, dem Bericht zufolge. Using them accurately shows the register control the theme is about, which is a rare case of the form and the content pulling the same way.
What to photograph for Sprache und Kultur
Photograph the variety names with their regions attached, the attitude terms on both sides of the borrowing argument, and any institution you plan to name. Terms alone become questions; a term with a claim beside it becomes something you can still defend in April.

What does AP German Unit 2 cover?
Sprache und Kultur: dialect and standard, national varieties, borrowing, and attitudes to language across German speaking societies.
Is Swiss German a dialect of Hochdeutsch?
No. It is a group of Alemannic dialects, and speakers switch to the written standard rather than speaking it natively. That relationship is called diglossia.
Is Denglisch worth writing about?
Yes, because it is contested. A contested term gives the essay a concession to answer instead of a fact to report.
What replaced the cultural comparison here?
The Course Project. A January packet sets the research topic, and language and identity material feeds the presentation and the recorded questions.
Should I use dialect forms in the essay?
Describe them rather than write in them. The essay expects standard written German; the dialect is content, not register.
Is there an AP German Unit 2 practice test on this page?
There is a generator that turns your pasted notes into questions and cards. It splits text by rule and does not teach the unit.
