Year 7 German

The Year 7 German course introduces students to the German-speaking communities and seeks to illustrate the interdependence of language and culture.

Students will explore the nature of languages as systems by making comparisons between German and English, leading to an appreciation of the correct application of linguistic structures and vocabulary.

• Wie geht's? - Talking about myself and those around me
• Los geht's! - Lifestyle and travel
• Jetzt geht's ab! - Entertainment and Festivals
• Gesundheit! - Health and environmental issues

Typical topics in Year 7 include My Family and I, Where I live, My Daily Routine and It's the Weekend!
