A great instant reference resource for students focusing on high-frequency German adjectives. I’ve found that the lists are a great learning support resource, and they’re really popular with students too. They work well when students keep them carefully in learning files or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class.
This list is a first collection of 25 high-frequency German adjectives that I’ve found are ideal for beginner German into intermediate German learning programs - it’s an important step in learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful German adjectives vocabulary bank, are able to recognize German adjectives, and are confident with the meaning of those adjectives in English - at that point we can move swiftly on to looking at adjectival endings and agreement, producing more complex and descriptive language, and using the adjectives in a communicative and practical context, which is essential for progressing in language learning.
The purpose of the list isn’t to simply learn all 25 adjectives by rote: it’s a longer-term reference resource that students use for example when they’re writing creatively, preparing written texts, or working with their talk partner to develop speaking skills. My students also use their vocabulary reference lists to help them audit their developing German vocabulary in general.
The list is a great time-saver for teachers too - if you’re preparing resources focusing on adjectives in German for your students, the list is a good starting point.
There are two alphabetical lists - one German-English, and one English-German, as I’ve found that language learners prefer to have both as a reference resource. There are two backgrounds to choose from - German flag, which I generally use for German grammar display, and plain.
Have a browse in my store for more German vocabulary lists, and a wide range of other German teaching and learning resources, with German resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies.

GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #4
**ALEVEL GERMAN ADVANCED GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE** *3 workbooks & tenses @ £1.20 each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency German reflexive verbs in the pluperfect, future perfect & conditional perfect tenses, including a selection not essentially reflexive, such as **sich kaufen** to practise the dative reflexive pronoun, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists* ideal for 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*, have a solid grasp of verbs that are conjugated with either ***haben or sein*** in the relevant tenses, and are comfortable with complex texts, including authentic resources. Grammar books are not consistent with grammatical terminology, so in this context, the ***conditional perfect*** is ***I would have done*** for example. I’ve used ***hätte & past participle*** as ***ich würde gemacht haben*** is no longer commonly used in the way that ***ich hätte gemacht*** is for example. The conjugation is structured in the same way as the ***Konjunktiv II Plusquamperfekt***, which is often called the ***pluperfect subjunctive*** in English grammatical terminology, though of course, the usage is different. It's actually really useful to introduce the ***conditional perfect tense in German*** along with the ***future perfect tense***, as the patterns are identical, other than the ***auxiliary tense***, and it allows students to ***compare and contrast*** the tenses using a range of texts including authentic resources, and to practice both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they're learning and using them together. In general, I move forward quite rapidly with conjugation, as this also gives us the opportunity to work with a wide range of authentic texts in our learning programme, and students' ability to create and use new language isn't restricted by not having an understanding and knowledge of the required tense. ***The tenses are:*** pluperfect tense *(Plusquamperfekt)* future perfect tense *(Konjuktiv I, Futur II)* conditional perfect tense *(Konjuktiv II, Plusquamperfekt)* 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 conditional perfect tense***, students need to have a firm grasp of ***haben in the subjunctive mood*** (*Konjuktiv II, ich hätte, du hättest etc, a direct translation of I would have, you would have..*.) and ***sein in the subjunctive*** (ich wäre, du wärest etc, which is not a*direct translation for English-speaking German learners, and can take a little extra practice*), and of how to *form and position **past participles** accurately*. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs with ‘quick conjugations', 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 practicing, 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 practise 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 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 bunles 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 REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #1
**GCSE GERMAN KS3 GERMAN KS4 GERMAN REFLEXIVE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE** *3 workbooks @ £1.20 each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency reflexive German verbs in the present, perfect and imperfect tenses, including some not essentially reflexive, such as sich kaufen, for practicing the use of the dative reflexive, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists* ideal for ***advanced KS3 German*** 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 tenses are:*** present tense *(Präsens)* perfect tense *(Perfekt)* imperfect tense *(Präteritum)* 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 the ***German imperfect tense***, I frequently see attempts such as ***ich war mich erinnern for I was remembering*** or similarly ***ich machte / tat mich erinnern for I did remember***. 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 often refer to the difference in usage between *English and German*, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***present perfect, simple past and the continuous / progressive simple past tense***. Though the workbook focuses 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, 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 also tend to introduce the ***perfect tense and imperfect tense*** fairly closely together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with *English* for example, particularly in *spoken German*, and we can ***compare and contrast*** examples of usage, which is really helpful for language learners. 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. 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 in a particular tense, quite challenging. 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.
