Y10 German 1 (Table A) 4 lessons per week for the whole year

This option is ideal for students who are serious about continuing with their language learning in the senior school. With four lessons a week, students have more time to build strong language skills through regular practice, support, and feedback. This option provides a steady pace and is highly recommended for those intending to take the language in Year 11 and beyond.

Please note that this course may not run depending on numbers.  If this 4 period course does not run then students who have selected this option will be able to move to the 2 period course in this language and then pick up another option. 

The students will learn how to understand, speak, read and write German as it applies to:

• Hobbies
• Dates and seasons
• School
• Eating out
• Telling time
• Body + illnesses
• Town
• Transport
• Clothes
• Description of people
• Weather
• Trips

German has the same origin as Anglo-Saxon (i.e. Germanic).  The study of German gives an insight into how English grammar is organised.
