GCSE GERMAN CONJUGATION PRACTICE SAMPLER a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate all the various verb groups and tenses/moods in German. I use them in a range of learning contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons.
Each workbook is structured as follows:
Two alphabetical verb reference lists: German : English and English : German
Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:
Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated 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.
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.
There are 6 pages in the answer key - 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.
This sampler demonstrates a range of conjugation challenges, with the answer
key immediately following the relevant conjugation questions. It will definitely give you an idea of what the quick conjugation workbooks look like, and how they are structured, and whether you think they’ll work well for your students.
The contents are as follows:
high-frequency verbs list: German-English
reflexive verbs list: English-German
regular verbs present tense conjugation: Challenge 1 with answer key
irregular & mixed verbs perfect tense conjugation: Challenge 2 with answer key
high-frequency verbs imperfect tense conjugation: Challenge 3 with answer key

PRIMARY ITALIAN KS3 ITALIAN KS2 ITALIAN Italian Numbers 0-31 Io ho Chi ha? This is a lively & communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing how to count from 0 - 31 in Italian. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too.
The aim of the game is to create an Italian number chain as quickly as possible, starting with the first card zero, and ending with the final card, trentuno. The game works just as well if the number sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my young beginner learners, but I’ve also played the game with my adult learners, who really enjoy it too - the monster theme is popular with everyone! The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are starting to familiarize themselves with the written word. Try to print in color if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning.
Download, print out, laminate, cut out & shuffle the cards. I’d definitely recommend you laminate the cards, despite the extra prep and expense. They’re far more learner-friendly, and they will last for absolutely years. Distribute the cards, one or two per student, depending on how many students you have in your group. I often play too - students really do enjoy it when I join in, and they seem to work that little bit harder on their concentration, reading out loud and pronunciation. Students walk around the room, talking to each other in their best Italian accent, sharing the information on their cards, until they have arranged the numbers in the correct order. The game works best played against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - can students beat beat their own time record? I always do some high-speed counting warm-up activities, forwards & backwards, to get everyone ready to play!

GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH PREPOSITIONS PRÉPOSITIONS FRANÇAISES 40 high-frequency French prepositions in the list, alphabetically French-English and English-French. I create a lot of essential high-frequency French vocab lists for my French language students, as they find them really useful, both in the classroom and at home. The lists 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. There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag, which I tend to use for vocab display, or black wave. I use a background for vocab lists quite a lot, because it does make them more visually appealing, which is really important for language learners who do have a lot of vocab to learn.

BACK TO SCHOOL FRENCH GREETINGS BIENVENUE BUNTING It’s great to create a new look for the new school year - I use bunting not only to create a real French look and feel in the learning environment, but also to promote everyday language and core vocabulary for learners of all ages. Bunting works well throughout the entire school year, but definitely has a celebratory back to school feel! The bunting has a small tag that you can clip to a line of string across the room (like a washing line!), or to a wall.

GCSE FRENCH IDIOMS French Speaking Practice Encouraging students to speak can be quite challenging in the languages classroom, and I’ve found that even my more advanced learners can be quite reluctant, especially if the group is fairly large. I use a range of strategies to promote speaking, and idioms, proverbs and fun expressions which sound quite strange when translated literally are really popular - for example, we have regular competitions to see who can get the most idioms or expressions into dialogues and conversations. This works really well for students of all stages and ages. The posters show the literal translation, which generally sounds very odd, such as this particular idiom C’est pas tes oignons ! - It it not your onions! and the correct corresponding translation. We also discuss other possible translations into English, which helps them understand the concept of translation, and that there are potentially many correct ways of expressing meaning accurately. The posters also lend the learning environment a real French ambiance, promoting the everyday use of French.
There are two backgrounds - the French flag looks great, but definitely uses a lot of ink, so you may prefer the poster without a background - this looks just as good! Keep checking back for more posters if you like them, as I have a huge collection!

PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 GERMAN ANIMALS DEUTSCHE TIERE FLASHCARDS POSTERS These German animals display posters / flashcards create a fabulous German look and feel in the learning environment. I’ve found that this also helps promote German as a living language, featuring in the everyday life of beginner learners of German. They introduce learners to a range of animals in German from the very beginning of their learning, and they are able to familiarize themselves with how German words ‘look’, and how sounds are represented in the written form. My younger German students really love the animals posters, and like to compare the German and English words. I’ve found that they also help very young children develop their growing understanding of the animal kingdom. We don’t necessarily learn all the animals, but we do use them for pronunciation and speaking practice, and for memory games too. Students definitely notice the different words for the, and ask why some animals are der, and others are die or das. I’ve used this as a useful prompt to introduce the concept of gender.
Use them as flashcards to introduce and practise language too - it’s a traditional and successful low-tech teaching method, which gives students a welcome break from the whiteboard - varying teaching methodologies in the language learning classroom is always a good idea, and I also encourage my students to take the role of the teacher too, which they find really motivating.
There are 20 animals using the masculine, feminine and neuter definite article, which again is a great opportunity to begin to compare German and English, looking particularly closely at capitalization of nouns. I’ve chosen a couple of insects and birds, as well as animals that feature in very popular stories, such as Bär and Wolf.
The animals are:
bear; bee; bird; butterfly; cat; dog; fish; fox; frog;horse; kangaroo; monkey; mouse; owl; parrot; rabbit; spider; squirrel; turtle/tortoise;
wolf
There are two sets of 20 9.5x11 (A4) portrait posters, two backgrounds to choose from: animal footprint or German flag. I always laminate my posters / flashcards as they hang a lot better, are easier to manipulate as flashcards, and definitely remain in excellent condition for years.

PRIMARY SPANISH SPANISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER SPANISH NUMBERS 0-21 LOS NÚMEROS EN ESPAÑOL 0-21 WORKSHEET I like to have sets of super simple worksheets that I can give to my young beginner learners of Spanish, not only when they’re new to the target vocabulary, but also for refreshing and revising language they’ve learned some time ago. Students can generally more easily assimilate new language and vocabulary when they are able to link it in their memory with a visual image.
The worksheet is useful for consolidating both number vocabulary and spelling, and students really enjoy testing their recall. This kind of worksheet is really versatile: I use for cover lessons, as starters, plenaries, five-minute refreshers and home learning activities.
There are two versions to choose from - colour, which makes the worksheet really visually appealing, or BW, which saves prep expense, and is also a popular activity with younger students, who like to colour as they read aloud, write and practise their Spanish numbers.
Students like to have this Primary Spanish Numbers 0-21 list freebie too, which is great for practising reading and checking spelling in Spanish:

KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 This is a free set of 12 French Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards with answer key and recording sheet. You will be able to use them together with the full set, as these are marked with letters, rather than numbered. The full set description is as follows:
French Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of French numbers 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 in French. The translation questions are a great way of introducing beginner French learners to the concept of translation too.
All questions are in French, and range in complexity and challenge, both in terms of language and number skills. I’ve used visual prompts and clues such as maths symbols to ensure all learners can engage with the questions, and this helps them to begin to***infer meaning from context***, and to decode cues and prompts to foster understanding. I don’t always allow the use of calculators to increase the challenge a little. Some questions focus specifically on French maths language, which students do not always engage with very often. The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and arithmetic creatively and practically too. Revisit frequently for successful consolidation and learning.
This freebie set comprises the following 3 files:
12 differentiated question cards, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Laminate if possible - they’re far more learner-friendly and last for absolutely years!
2-page answer recording sheet, best printed double-sided. I don’t always use a recording sheet - my students all have class workbooks, and they use those to work out their answers, and to note them down
2-page answer key, again best printed double-sided, and laminated for longevity. Answer keys are essential in my view - they create a more independent learning ethos in the classroom, and offer students and additional opportunity to engage with language.
The set of 48 differentiated challenge cards French Numbers 0-100 (£3) is here:

ESL EFL ENGLISH FOR GERMAN SPEAKERS BEGINNER ENGLISH INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH ADJECTIVES LIST A great instant reference resource for students focusing on high-frequency English 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 English adjectives that I’ve found are ideal for beginner English into intermediate English learning programmes - it’s an important step in learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful English adjectives vocabulary bank, are able to recognise English adjectives, and are confident with the meaning of those adjectives in German - at that point we can move swiftly on to looking at comparing adjectives in English and German, most particularly the lack of adjectival endings and agreement in English, which is a new concept for German speakers. With a broader and richer adjectives vocabulary, students are able to produce 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 English vocabulary in general.
There are two alphabetical lists - one English-German, and one German-English, as I’ve found that language learners prefer to have both as a reference resource. There are two backgrounds to choose from - England flag (which I tend to use as part of a grammar display), and black wave - students tell me that this makes vocabulary lists more visually appealing, which is really useful when they’ve got a lot of vocabulary to work through and learn.

ENGLISCH ALS ZWEITSPRACHE ENGLISCH ALS FREMDSPRACHE ENGLISH CONJUNCTIONS & CONNECTIVES FOR GERMAN-SPEAKING LEARNERS OF ENGLISH an instant reference resource for students focusing on high-frequency English conjunctions and connectives. 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 collection of 35 high-frequency common English conjunctions and connectives that students will meet in the advanced beginner English to intermediate English stages of English learning programmes. It’s also useful as a vocabulary audit for students embarking upon advanced English. An important step in language learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful vocabulary bank, are able to recognise English conjunctions and connectives, and are confident with the meaning of those words in German, so that they can produce more detailed and descriptive language and more complex sentences as soon as possible. Students shouldn’t take on the task of learning 35 conjunctions and connectives all at once though - this is more of a longer-term reference resource that students can use to audit their developing English vocabulary, and it is definitely the case that frequent and regular use in real-world practical contexts is far more successful at embedding vocabulary into longer-term memory.
There are two alphabetical lists - one English-German and one German-English, as I’ve found that most language students prefer to have both as a reference resource. There are two backgrounds to choose from - England flag (which looks good as part of a vocabulary display), and black wave - students tell me that this makes vocabulary lists more visually appealing, which is a real motivator for learning when they’ve got a lot of vocabulary to work through and learn.

English present simple tense English present continuous tense task cards for German-speaking learners of English
These English present tense task cards focus on the use of the present simple and present continuous / progressive tense in English. The language level is advanced beginner English into intermediate English. These kinds of question card activities are perfect for language learners, really helping to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their developing knowledge of two key forms of the present tense in English in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher.
The cards have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling in English. They’re great for helping students familiarise themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling in English in general, and certainly in the use of these tenses in particular. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on this particular grammatical concept, but also as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to practise using the tenses, but also to enjoy working with English, and to feel confident about doing so. The questions range in complexity and challenge, and it can be useful to read through the questions with the whole class first to check everyone is able to access the language, and therefore the activity, successfully.
The resource comprises the following non-editable files:
36 differentiated question cards, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Print, laminate and cut out. Laminating is definitely worth the extra prep time and expense, as they’re far more learner-friendly, and they last in good condition for years.
answer recording sheet - we often also just use our class workbooks for this, particularly for this set, as the sentences are fairly long, so their class workbooks give them plenty of space to write.
answer key Answer keys are an essential element of this kind of learning activity, as they provide learners with an additional opportunity to engage with language and help them develop more independence in their learning.
question cards template for students to apply their knowledge practically and creatively, putting questions together for each other - this is a really challenging and popular activity, and essential for successful language learning.

They are common English verbs, so they will see, hear and use the verbs regularly in daily life. They include regular and irregular verbs, and are all in the infinitive form - it’s an important step in learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful vocabulary bank, are able to recognize English verbs, and are confident with the meaning of those verbs in German - at that point they can move on to looking at conjugation and using the verbs in a communicative and practical context. Students shouldn’t take on the task of learning 25 verbs all at once though - this is more of a longer-term reference resource that students can use to audit their developing English verb vocabulary - embedding the verbs into long-term memory will come through frequent usage.
There are two alphabetical lists - one English-German, and one German-English, as I’ve found that beginner language students prefer to have both as a reference resource. There are two backgrounds to choose from - England flag (which looks good as grammar / vocabulary display), and black wave - students tell me that this makes vocab lists more visually appealing, which is really useful when they’ve got a lot of vocab to work through and learn.

ESL EFL ENGLISCH ENGLISH PREPOSITIONS FOR GERMAN-SPEAKING LEARNERS OF ENGLISH an instant English language reference resource for German-speaking students focusing on high-frequency English prepositions. 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, either in class or at home. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class.
This list is a collection of 45 high-frequency English prepositions, ideal for advanced beginner English students into intermediate English students. It’s also really useful for advanced English students to audit their general high-frequency English vocabulary. They are common English prepositions, so they will see, hear and use them regularly in daily life.
It’s an important step in language learning to ensure that students quickly develop a useful vocabulary bank, are able to recognise key target language vocabulary, and are confident with the meaning of that vocabulary in their first and / or home language - at that point they can move on to looking at using the prepositions in a communicative and practical context. Students shouldn’t take on the task of learning all prepositions at once though - this is more of a longer-term reference resource that students can use to audit their developing English vocabulary, adding to the list as their knowledge grows. It is definitely the case that frequent and regular use in real-world practical contexts is far more successful at embedding vocabulary into longer-term memory.
