Most pupils in year 7 begin German as a brand new subject so pupils are introduced quickly to the main SSCs (sound symbol correspondence) of German. By the end of the year, pupils will be able to give details and opinions about themselves, their hobbies, their school subjects and their family. Pupils are encouraged to recognise key linguistic terms from KS2 such as what is a noun, adjective and verb.
