I encourage my beginner German students to build up a comprehensive vocabulary bank that they can reference easily whenever they need it. I also use this kind of vocabulary list for quick vocabulary quizzes, spelling competitions and so on. This particular sheet is for my more experienced German learners, who’ve been learning German for a while - all the numbers are on a single page in landscape format, so the font is fairly small, but they’re comfortable with quite a bit of text on a single page - beginner learners do need to have language very clearly accessible. Have a look at this version that I give my absolute beginners - the numbers are across two pages in portrait format:

GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #3

**GCSE GERMAN KS4 GERMAN KS3 GERMAN ALEVEL GERMAN REGULAR VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 8 workbooks & tenses @ 60p each in the bundle** *featuring 25 high-frequency German reflexive verbs in the present, perfect, imperfect, future, conditional, pluperfect, future perfect and conditional perfect tenses, including a selection which are not essential reflexive, such as **sich kaufen** to practise the dative reflexive pronoun, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 1,200 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists* ideal for***KS3 German*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in *German*; ***KS4 German*** students who have a sound baseline understanding of conjugation and tense in *German*, are working regularly with the notion of past tense in *German*, and distinguishing between verbs that are conjugated with either ***haben or sein in the perfect and pluperfect*** tense to *KS5 German and advanced German* students who have a sound understanding of conjugation and tense in *German*, are working regularly with the notion of a range of tenses and mood in *German*, and have a solid grasp of verbs that are conjugated with either ***haben or sein in the relevant tenses***. It's actually really useful to introduce the ***pluperfect tense in German*** quite closely with the ***perfect tense***, as the patterns are identical, and it allows students to ***compare and contrast*** the tenses, and to practise both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they're learning and using them together. Similarly, I do tend to introduce the ***perfect tense and imperfect tense*** together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with *English* for example, particularly in *spoken German*. *The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage*, but I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their *German* conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct *German*, in both ***oral and written form***. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language with the patterns and rules of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***German imperfect tense***, with students whose first language is *English*, I frequently see attempts such as ***ich war machen for I was doing / making*** or similarly ***ich machte arbeiten for I did work***. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of ***used to...***, before they understand that the ***notion is implicit in the tense itself***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between *English and German*, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the various tenses. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***fixed conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written German*** is accurate, and that their understanding of *German* across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I've used these 'quick conjugations' for many years with my *German* classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in *German*. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how *German* conjugation 'works'. **The tenses are:** present tense *(Präsens)* perfect tense *(Perfekt)* imperfect tense *(Präteritum)* future tense *(Futur I)* conditional tense *(Konjuktiv II, Futur I)* pluperfect tense *(Plusquamperfekt)* future perfect tense *(Konjuktiv I, Futur II)* conditional perfect tense *(Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt)* **Each set has the following structure:** *Two alphabetical verb reference lists*: German-English and English-German. *Three conjugation challenges*, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. *Notes and Next Steps* sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank. We also use this to guide our whole-group discussions about conjugation and German grammar, and learning and progress in general - this is a really successful and popular activity. *answer key*: there are 6 pages in the answer key book - for me, answer keys are an essential and integral part of learning with these kinds of workbooks - they give my students an additional opportunity to engage with language, they certainly help them develop more independence in their learning, and they genuinely enjoy 'correcting' their own, and especially each other's work. ***Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses:*** present tense *(Präsens)* perfect tense *(Perfekt)* imperfect tense *(Präteritum)* future tense *(Futur I)* conditional tense *(Konjuktiv II, Futur I)* pluperfect tense *(Plusquamperfekt)* future perfect tense *(Konjuktiv I, Futur II)* conditional perfect tense *(Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt)* ***Have a browse in my store for more German grammar activities, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning resources, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a selection here for you to try.*** *This resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format.

GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES CHALLENGE CARDS

**KS3 GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES ACTIVITIES CHALLENGE CARDS 108 DIFFERENTIATED CHALLENGE CARDS @ £1.25 each in the bundle** really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of fruits and vegetables in *German* in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a *bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling*. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and *develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words and more complex sentences in German*. Sentence structure and word order may differ from students’ first and/or home language, so it’s important to provide them with opportunities to engage with language that moves beyond single-unit vocabulary as soon as possible. It also gives them chance to *apply language in a practical, real-world context*, which in turn helps embed both vocab and grammatical concepts into longer-term memory. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on the target vocab, but also to work on *German language skills* in general, such as cases, adjectival endings, *grammatical structures such as um… zu + infinitive* and so on. The goal is not simply to learn the target vocabulary in *German*, but also to enjoy working with *German*, and to feel confident about doing so. The questions are all in *German*, and range in complexity and challenge. I usually read through questions before my students work with the cards for the first time, to ensure that everyone understands any new or unknown language and structures. I make sure though to give them chance to *infer meaning from context, and to use any visual clues to decode language*. It’s definitely useful for students to have access to an appropriate bilingual dictionary - not only does that help develop literacy skills, but there will probably be some fruits and vegetables that students may not know. There are *35 fruits and 37 vegetables* addressed in the challenge cards, and it’s unlikely that they are all in your teaching and learning plan. I always include additional vocabulary to add a little challenge, and to encourage students to think a little more creatively and independently. I’ve provided alphabetical *German-English and English-German fruits and vegetables lists* in case you don’t have access to bilingual dictionaries. I’ve used *masculine and feminine fruits, definite and indefinite article, and singular and plural* - this really helps students familiarize themselves with grammatical concepts without explicit instruction. There are some*translation questions* too - both from *German to English and English to German*, which is a great introduction to translation for beginner learners. I explain that there are several possible correct alternatives, as translation is not a word-for-word activity, which is definitely useful for them to know from the very beginning of their learning. The *question card template* enables students to apply their*knowledge of language and grammatical concepts creatively and practically* too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other, and I encourage them to use the existing questions as a frame of reference as they create their own, and to include fruits that are not already in the fruits vocab list. The cards are in colour, as I've found that with this particular target vocab, the colour is an integral element to learning. I always laminate the cards though - not only are they far more learner-friendly, but far better value in the longer-term, as they last for absolutely years. **The bundle consists of 3 individual, non-editable sets of cards, each containing the following:** * *Set of 36 question cards*, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. For younger and beginner learners, I always use a larger size card to ensure that language is sufficiently accessible, particularly when we’re working with longer and more complex sentences. It also ensures that students who find language learning a little extra challenging are not discouraged by dense print of new or unknown language. * *2-page answer recording sheet*. Best printed double-sided. We don't always use a recording sheet - I tend to get my students to use their class workbooks for this kind of activity, as it saves prep time and paper, and also gives students an easily-accessible record of their learning when they repeat the activity. * *2-page answer key*, again best printed double-sided, and laminated for longevity. One answer key for each small group is sufficient. Answer keys are great - they're the perfect teacher time-saver, but also provide students with a really valuable additional opportunity to engage with language - and they genuinely enjoy correcting their own, and especially each others' work! * *alphabetical fruits & vegetables lists*, German-English & English-German. Best printed double-sided. ***Have a browse in my store for more German active learning activities, with a wide range of other German language teaching and learning materials, with lots of freebies too!*** *The resource is non-editable in a zipped format.

GERMAN PHONICS PRONUNCIATION SPELLING BUNDLE #1

**KS3 KS4 GERMAN PRONUNCIATION RHYMING WORDS PHONICS SPELLING PRACTICE - 99 WORDS FOCUSING ON PHONICS, SOUNDS AND RHYMES - CARDS AND WHOLE-GROUP PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE - 198 WORDS FOCUSING ON PHONICS, SOUNDS, SPELLING AND RHYMES - CARDS AND TWO WHOLE-GROUP PRONUNCIATION PRESENTATIONS @ £2.00 each in the bundle** There are 198 cards featuring a range of *sounds in German*, and a *whole-group presentation and practice* resource. We revisit the activities frequently to help students develop *phonic awareness* and a thorough understanding of how *German* spelling and sounds work. I've found that students are quickly able to *recognize sound patterns*, enabling them to *predict the pronunciation* of new words accurately. The whole-group presentations are non-editable for copyright reasons, but move forward via a click as a slide show, with all the rhymes and corresponding sounds grouped together - I often use these at the beginning of the lesson, or a 5-minute pronunciation and speaking break during a lesson, again at very regular intervals. I always encourage students to look carefully at all parts of a particular word, not just the focus sound: for example ***Hochhaus*** - the focus sound is ***au***, but the ***ch*** sound is equally important. The resource works well for my *German* students at all stages of learning, from beginner to advanced. We use the card template for students to add corresponding sounds/rhymes that they know, or learn, over time. I allocate 10-15 minutes frequently to focus on pronunciation and sounds - this really does help students *develop authentic German pronunciation.* Laminate the cards if possible - it's definitely quite a bit of prep, but it's well worth it in the longer-term - they are far more learner-friendly, and will remain in excellent condition for years. I’ve included a set without a background, as that is not as expensive to prep as the colour - I do create colour-coded sets for my students when I can, as it helps them to identify different resources, but they are fine without color too. I've also included a range of my popular *German *freebies that you may not have seen in my store. *The files are non-editable for copyright reasons. They are copyright, all rights reserved.

GERMAN PRESENT TENSE RESOURCE BOX #1

**KS3 GERMAN GCSE GERMAN KS4 GERMAN PRESENT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE FIVE WORKBOOKS @ £1.00 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***focusing on a range of German verb groups in the present tense, with 150 conjugation questions (750 conjugations in total), and complete answer keys*** ideal for **KS3 German** students who are consolidating conjugtion skills, and **KS4 German** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in ***German***. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. **The verbs groups are:** ***regular German verbs irregular & mixed German verbs high-frequency German verbs German reflexive verbs German separable verbs*** ***The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage***, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with ***German verbs***, I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the ***singular pronouns***, including the pronoun ***man*** form being identical, pointing out also that ***man*** is commonly used in ***German***, often also meaning ***we***, unlike the pronoun ***one*** in ***English***. There are certain complexities with ***German reflexive verbs***, as learners whose first language does not have ***equivalent reflexive verbs*** can find identifying the ***correct reflexive pronoun***, and particularly ***dative reflexive pronouns***, and ***positioning them correctly***, quite challenging. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation, and with those whose first language is ***English***, I frequently see attempts such as ***ich bin sich waschen*** for ***I am getting washed*** or similarly ***ich mache / tue sich erinnern*** for ***I do remember***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and German***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***simple present and the continuous / progressive present tense***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are very ***conjugation patterns*** that students can learn, recognize and apply, ensuring that their ***spoken and written German*** is accurate, and that their understanding of *German* across the skills of ***listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. I've used these 'quick conjugations' for many years with my ***German*** classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in ***German***. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***German*** conjugation 'works'. **Each conjugation workbook has the following structure:** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: German-English and English-German. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: **Conjugation Challenge 1**: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. **Conjugation Challenge 2**: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German. **Conjugation Challenge 3**: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. ***Notes and Next Steps***, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, reflect on what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. They also use this page to note any new verbs they learn, which helps them build up a comprehensive verb vocabulary. It's also a useful tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity with my students. The ***answer key*** is a 6-page book which is absolutely essential in my view.
