To prevent misunderstanding: I speak German as a typical Spanish cow
speaks French. Vielleicht a little better when I drink too much coffee... 

Jedoch... 

I *have seen* in some German pedagogic documents I cannot trace now,
Gattung with "(Genre?)" in parentheses. Perhaps it is that, perhaps
not.
I have, btw. the same problem with French and Polish... (genre/espèce?)
(rodzaj)? 

So, you are not alone, brother...
