AQA GCSE German (8662) Complete Guide
Comprehensive teaching resources for the AQA GCSE German specification. German is often considered the "hardest" grammar, but with our structured approach, students can master it.
The Three Themes
- Identity and culture (Me, my family, technology, free time, customs)
- Local, national, international and global areas of interest (Home, town, social issues, global issues, travel)
- Current and future study and employment (School, post-16, jobs)
Cracking the German Grammar Code
German grammar is logical but rigorous. Our resources focus on:
- Word Order (V2 Rule): The verb must always be the second idea in the sentence.
- TMP (Time, Manner, Place): The golden rule for sentence structure.
- The Case System: Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Genitive. We break this down simply.
- Subordinating Conjunctions: weil, dass, obwohl - sending the verb to the end.
Exam Strategy
- Translation: Accuracy is key. Check endings and word order.
- Role Play: Keep it simple. Don't overcomplicate the unpredictable task.
- Photo Card: Develop answers using PAL (Opinions, Reasons, Tenses).
