Description

This unit introduces core vocabulary and grammatical gender to identify and describe items in the classroom. The verb 'sein', definite and indefinite articles and key question words enable simple conversations. Pupils practise sound-symbol correspondences long and short [a] and [e], [ei] and [z]

This unit uses the familiar classroom context to introduce pupils to the key elements of German needed for simple conversations. It introduces pupils to the core concept of grammatical gender in German and allows them to build on this throughout the unit as new vocabulary is introduced. Foundations are laid for work in later units with the introduction of four question words, and pupils apply their knowledge in simple question and answer conversations.

  1. Greetings and location: 'wo' and singular definite articles
  2. Greetings and locating things: capital letters on German nouns
  3. What is it? 'Was' and 'sagen'
  4. Identifying things: ‘ist’, ‘sein’ and learning vocabulary
  5. How's it going? 'Wie' and the singular indefinite articles 'ein', 'eine', 'ein'
  6. What is it like? 'Ist' with adjectives
  7. Describe things: 'sein' 1st and 2nd person singular, negation 'nicht' and 'kein'
  8. Classroom conversations: German alphabet
