I'm a French, German and English teacher and love creating useful resources for my students to use in the classroom, as well as for homework tasks, to help them love languages and develop their language skills at the same time. I enjoy sharing these resources with other teachers. Some of my language resources are free, but as they take me a long time to make, I do charge a small fee for my some of them.
I hope you enjoy using my MFL resources in your language classroom!

Two updated revision booklets for German A Level (Year 1 and Year 2), split up by topics and sub-themes from the AQA German text books to aid students with revision for the photo card speaking examination. The revision aid contains 4 pages per booklet.
They combine a range of verbs, complex phrases, relevant facts and figures, which are key things that the examiners will be looking for to achieve the highest marks in their exams (according to the A Level speaking mark scheme).
This German A Level revision document by sub-theme has already aided my students as revision for the photo card speaking exam.

German GCSE and A Level Passive Revision Lesson
I put this passive revision lesson together for a private A-Level German student, who has just started to learn German.
It contains a step-by-step PowerPoint, starting by discussing current passive knowledge, as well as the passive in English with some practice. Normally, students don’t have too much of an issue using the passive in English when they start working through the activity.
The lesson continues by discussing what is required for the passive in German, followed by lots of short practice, progressively getting more and more difficult. The final activity is completing the English sentences from the beginning with the German forms of the passive.
Please note: the lesson does not contain any passive modal verb practice, but instead, plenty of passive practice using the present, imperfect, present perfect, past perfect and future and starts off discussing the passive in English, to ensure students understand the concept in English first.
The passive cheat sheet image is something I found on TES and is not my work. However, I have found it useful to give as a handout to students (in addition to the lesson I have prepared) and so have attached it for you - with thanks to the original author for this!
