Secondary

…………..

We prepared material that gives students a range of occasions for speaking. It covers discussions about environment, current political and societal problems, media and music, as well as cultural approaches and insights, such as life in various regions in Germany, food, drinks, customs and traditions.

You will find two videos for every topic: one video that gives a general introduction and/or overview and the second video has an exemplary dialogue. We hope they help your students to engage with up-to-date topics in German.
