Can you post on different ways you can extend sentences in general conversation?like examples of what to say and how it can be further extended. It would help a lot .
For the first question on the photocard, is it acceptable to just say 4 back-to-back clauses without joining them? Do the markers award complexity or just simply if you have given 4 clauses? For example would this be sufficient to access full marks on the 1st question on the photocard in the video or do I have to add complexity: Es gibt einen Strand, Es gibt viele Menschen, Es ist sonnig, Es gibt viele Gebäude
I am doing my German gcse next (yr 9) because I already speak German fluently and I will definitely mess this up and over/under complicate everything because I would never speak to anyone like that in Germany but this video really did help and I feel slightly prepared now! also do your notes have to be in English or can they be in German?
Glad it helped - I'm sure you'll do great especially with your background. Just a case of knowing what the mark scheme wants! Notes can be in English but it's better to do it in German because then you can just read off your notes without having to think on the spot as it's pre-prepared.
Urgent query, would really appreciate your help: My student is a homeschooled candidate appearing for her IGCSE German exam. I've been showing her past papers so that we can prepare accordingly. However, the speaking exam instructions in the past papers from 2020-2023 say that the student "cannot" take notes. I'm a little confused about this. Could you please share your thoughts? We've covered grade 1-10 German since Jan 2024 and she'll be appearing for her IGCSE speaking exam in mid-Sept. Would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
Really helpful video thankyou! If possible could you make a short video in the style of the classroom conversation but on theme 1 please?
Thank you for the feedback - yes of course!

Yes that's fine, complexity of answers isn't specified, just that you include 3-4 clauses/sentences
