Well -you got to know which word takes which article.For poor students there are some rules for help that cover part of the words -only a part, though. You can find them in any German book of grammar. One that I remember from school days is : words that end : -ei,-heit, -in, -keit, -schaft,-ung,-kunft are all feminine like die Zukunft, die Schönheit and so on.
Practice, practice -the only way!
Alles Gute

die is feminin ,like la in French,der is masculin, or le in French,
das is the problem,it's neutral you guess it wrongly most of the
time.i can't think of another language having it.
in English we have only the,but when it comes to pronouns,the
gender shows,she he or it.In german it is sie,er or es.
anyway lots of fun with learning German,
