Link certain posts to certain pages

  • I am a bit frustrated since I cannot figure out appearantly easy things.
    On my above posted website, I have a Main Menu ‘News’, ‘UseGerman’, ‘Language Blog’, ‘Lessons’, ‘Contact’. If you click on ‘Use German’ and ‘Language Blog’ you can see that there are more sub-pages in it. What I basically want, is to have my posts integrated in all these different sub categories, but hell no I cannot figure out how I can link my posts to the pages.
    I watched a ton of tutorials but I cannot figure it out.
    What I already tried is to go in WP settings under ‘Appearance’ to the ‘Menu’ section and add the single posts to another sub-group of the main menu, but this is not what I want, since I will add weekly articles there and this will look chaotic.
    So the posts should just appear with a featured picture and maybe 1-2 sentences as a preview in a one or two- column in each page.
    I thought in ‘Posts’ I can make categories which are linked to the Pages but also this has no effect. I hope I could make clear what I want (unfortunately I cannot add a screenshot here)

    Thank you!

    I found in tutorials that I can go into my WP admin page -> Settings–>Reading–>and choose option as A static page (select below). But here I can choose only one page to show all my posts, which doesn’t help at all.
    My goal is to provide my visitors a well-arrange appearance and that they can find in each pages (and sub-page) the selected posts.
    Let’s say I created 10 posts already in the ‘post’ section of WP and now I want to direct them in different sub-pages of my homepage like ‘Dialogues’ (sub-group of ‘Use German’) and also ‘podcasts’ (sub-group of ‘Language blog’) and so on…

    A website which comes very close to my wished result is https://www.russianprogress.com

    Ok seems I underlay a misconception. WP blogs can show posts always only under one page…?! So I would have to create each sup-page seperately in my editor and direct my articles through links.. is this the easiest solution?=

    If you need to refer to a specific post from the content of another page, then perhaps manually linking is the best option. But if you want to reference a group of posts with a common trait like all posts with an embedded podcast, you can link to a taxonomy archive after having assigned appropriate terms to the related posts.

    By default you can tag posts and/or assign categories to help you organize your posts. It’s possible to create additional taxonomies if those two default ones are not enough. Say you’ve assigned a “podcast” category term to all posts that involve a podcast. You menu’s “Podcast” item can then link to …/category/podcast/. The resulting page is generated automatically by WP. It’ll list all posts assigned that term, starting with the most recent. The list could run on to a number of pages if there are a lot of podcast posts.

    Whether that category term archive shows full post content or an excerpt is somewhat dependent on your theme. Most themes will display excerpts, or give you an option to choose. Some may show full content of the latest post and excerpts of the rest.
