Description

This unit revisits the present tense of 'sein' and 'haben', weak verbs, open and closed question formation and word order 1 and 2. It introduces nationality nouns and gender neutral language, and reinforces simple (I do) and ongoing (I am doing) functions of the present tense.

This unit allows pupils to explore and express their identity in the context of revisiting present tense weak verbs, singular and plural nouns and gender neutral language. Pupils explore this in the context of their own nationality, identity and lifestyles. Cultural enrichment and practice on large numbers and translation into English provided through a focus on Switzerland and then Germany (Bavaria), the Oktoberfest, and some lesser known places and a dialect spoken in northern Germany.
