Year 8 Unit 5

In this lesson, we will be comparing the sound-symbol correspondences (SSCs) [ch] and [ck] and also comparing the prepositions 'an' vs 'auf' in the accusative and dative cases.

In this lesson, we will be comparing the German 'cht' to the English 'ght' and their meaning. We will also be looking at the prepositions 'gegen' in the accusative case.

In this lesson, we will revisit the sound of [d] in German and we will practise talking about the future using the present tense.

In this lesson, we will continue talking about the future using the present tense but this time using modal verbs and infinitives with 'zu'.

In this lesson, we will learn about the modal verb sollen and its meaning (should or ought to). We will learn to distinguish its meaning from other modal verbs müssen and dörfen, and practise the sound-symbol correspondence (SSC) [pf].

In this lesson, we will continue to practise the use of the modal verb 'sollen' and then contrast the use of modal verbs with infinitive with other verbs requiring 'zu' before the infinitive. We also practise the sound-symbol correspondences (SSCs) [kn] and [pf].

In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense using 'werden + infinitive'. We will be following the plans of Mia, Wolfgang and Katrin to visit Lake Constance and revisit all the sound-symbol correspondences (SSCs) we have learnt so far and their source words.

In this lesson, we will continue to practise the future tense 'werden + infinitive', and then contrast this with the use of 'planen + zu + infinitive'. We will also revisit several sound-symbol correspondences (SSCs).

In this lesson, we will look at using adjectives to describe things and the endings adjectives take after the definite article; that is the words for 'the'. We will also practise the 'eu' sound in German.

In this lesson, we will continue practising the sound-symbol correspondence (SSC) 'eu'. We will continue working with adjectives to describe things, and revisit using the prepositions 'an' and 'auf' with the accusative case for movement and the dative case for location.

In this lesson, we will practise describing things in more detail, using adjective endings with definite and indefinite articles in the dative case. We also revise the sound-symbol correspondences (SSCs) [f] and [v].

In this lesson, we will continue practising adjective endings with definite and indefinite articles in the dative case, and use the prepositions 'an', 'auf', 'hinter', 'neben' and 'vor' with the dative case for location. We also revise the sound-symbol correspondences (SSCs) [v] and [w].
