Site origin and purpose

Purpose of the site

The German materials were created as learning, practice and self-testing activities for grades 9-12 international school students in their first year of the language. There are also interactive teacher resources for the classroom.

The materials loosely follow the progression of grammar and vocabulary topics covered in the Planet 1 and Themen Aktuell courses, based on their textbooks, workbooks, listening texts and websites.

Grammar

The grammar topics covered in this beginners course include the present tenses (simple and perfect) and case grammar (with the exception of indirect object dative and the possessive and prepositional genitive)

Vocabulary

Vocabulary covers the words needed for talking about oneself and family, as well as the words used in various situations such as school, making arrangements, shopping, eating out, and vacation.
