Schubert is a small brown dog. He is very intelligent, but he often makes mistakes! This story and workbook will introduce the young student to 150 German words and phrases, in ten short chapters. The text is in English, with German words embedded and translated, giving each one a context and entertaining you as you go!
Following each chapter there are:
· A vocabulary list, without articles (to avoid declension complications).
· An exercise to practise adding ‘the’ and ‘a’ to the nouns, to learn which nouns are masculine, feminine and neutral (all in the Nominativ case).
· A short ‘Notice’, a quick bit of information about the German language (such as ‘all German nouns begin with capital letters’) with a question included (such as ‘how many nouns are there in this chapter?’)
· A ‘Fill in the Blanks’ page specific to that chapter, for review or a quiz.
· A special page focussing on words linked by theme, loosely associated with the chapter, such as Haus or Farben. Some vocabulary from the extra page may appear before or after its assigned chapter, or nowhere else at all.
There are also four pages to introduce the concept of gendered nouns, and a very short introduction to the composer Franz Schubert (with a link to some of his music)
This short mini-lesson is suitable for students who are taking first steps into intermediate French. It can be used over one to three days to review or introduce vocabulary, practise combining reading, listening and writing, and conjugate a verb in three tenses.
The mini-lesson contains:
· one short text in French
· a translation of the text in English
· a list of vocabulary (words and phrases) from the text to be translated either from English to French or from French to English, and memorized
· assignments (writing in French using your new vocabulary, other short grammar review exercises, etc.)
· a verb to be reviewed (‘se trouver’) with a verb conjugation page to complete in the présent, imparfait and futur simple.
