Label objects, narrate small actions, or send yourself a voice note using these phrases. Tying german for a prescription refill German to things you already do every day is what moves you from A2 comfort toward the next level.

Tips to learn faster

Say every new word aloud at least three times — German pronunciation is regular, so once you hear the pattern you can read new words with confidence.
Learn nouns together with their article (der/die/das). Memorising “das Folgerezept” as a unit saves you from guessing the gender later.
Practise full phrases, not isolated words. “Ich brauche ein Folgerezept für meine Tabletten.” is far more useful in real life than a single noun.
Use spaced repetition: review these words tomorrow, in three days, then in a week. Short, repeated sessions beat one long cram.
