WORKSHEETS

Bilingual exercises have the advantage that you don't waste any time translating German to English or to your own mother tongue. In this way you learn the meaning of new vocabulary in an instant.
TRANSLATE
ENGLISH to GERMAN
Even you are not a an English native you will find it very easy to understand these exercises. There is no need to look up words in a dictionary because you already have both texts (English and German) in every exercises. Translating form English to German is one of the main goals of these exercises. This helps you to create your own phrases in German. And this is what you need to learn first.

WORK SHEETS: READING LISTENING WRITING
HOW DO THESE WORKSHEETS WORK?
Here I want to show you how my German lessons actually work. A big part of every lesson are text-exercises. PDF-exercises are key to teach vocabulary and grammar. In order to get a more interactive and practical approach I developed my own exercises over many years.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THESE EXERCISES?
1) Compare to regular text books l designed these text-exercises and worksheets with the purpose of improving your passive and your active vocabulary as well as your comprehension (listening and reading capabilities) at the same time. The main difference to regular school books is that you need to formulate full German sentences. Every grammatical topic is fully contextualized with practical example sentences.
2) All the pdf-exercises are bilingual. This makes sure that you will easily understand the purpose of each exercises. It also helps you to understand the vocabulary of the text without using dictionaries. You will mostly be able to run these exercises without using external sources. That saves you a lot of time and keeps you motivated.
3) Listening to the audio is part of every exercises. This is important to fully internalize the vocabulary on different levels. It also helps you to learn the correct pronunciation.
4) Another positive side effect is that you will also learn how to write German correctly. While this might not so important when you start learning a language, it will become more and more important later on.

PAGE 3)
The third page contains the solution for the second page. Use this page to check your answers and to listen to the audio file. It is more easy to read and to listen the same time first. Tip: After reading the first page start with this page if the exercises is difficult for you.

HOW DO WE START?
This is not the first but one of the first exercises of my German A1.1 course level. It shows you how to conjugate basic regular verbs which you will need in every day situations.
LERAN HOW TO CONJUGATE
Verb endings in German change dependent on the subject they are connected to. Learn how to conjugate regular verbs in present tense: The typical verb endings are: | = (e) | you = (st) | he, she, it = (t) | we = (en) | you guys = (t) | they = (en).
WRITE GERMAN SENTENCES
Learn how to formulate whole sentences right from the beginning and avoid wired textbook exercises where you simply fill out gaps or solve puzzles.

FREE EXERCISE:
HOW TO USE "WERDEN"
For future tense you need the helping word "werden" (will). Here you will learn how to change sentences from present tense to future tense.
HINTS
This verb conjugates irregular: (ich werde, du wirst, er wird, wir werden, ihr werdet, sie werden). But it also changes the sentence structure: While you have to conjugate "werden" the second verb moves to the end of the sentence and is not conjugated!
EXAMPLES:
Ich schlafe. (present tense)
Ich werde schlafen.
Ich werde bis 9 Uhr schlafen.
Ich werde morgen bis 9 Uhr schlafen.

PERSONAL PRONOUNS: NOMINATIVE & ACCUSATIVE

FREE EXERCISE:
Accusative Pronouns GermanGerman Tutor Berlin
00:00 / 04:35
WHY PRONOUNS MATTER more THAN ARTICLES
The usage of Personal Pronouns in Nominative and Accusative is key to communicate with people. While the proper use of articles in Nominative, Accusative and Dative is not so important at the beginning, you need to distinguish personal pronounces of these both cases (Nominative & Accusative) right from the start. Otherwise you will mostly confuse who is doing what to whom.
HINTS
The Nominative is representing the active party (the subject) in a sentence. The Nominative (subject) is also conjugating the verb. The Accusative object on the contrary is receiving the action of the nominative party.
EXAMPLES:
Ich besuche dich. (I am visiting you)
Du besuchst mich. (You are visiting me).
VERBS & MODAL-VERBS & ADVERBS

Verbs, modal verbs, adverbsGerman Tutor Berlin
00:00 / 05:47
MÖGEN | BRAUCHEN | MÖCHTEN | MÜSSEN | GERNE | LIEBER
These are some of the most important verbs, modal verbs and adverbs students struggle with the most.
HINTS
Mögen (to like something) and brauchen (to need something) are mostly used for direct objects only. Möchten and müssen on the other hand are modal verbs (they modulate an other verb). Gerne und lieber are adverbs. Adverbs are no verbs but modulate or refer to a verb.
EXAMPLES:
Ich brauche einen Kaffee.
Ich mag den Kaffee nicht.
Ich möchte einen Kaffee trinken.
Ich muss jetzt einen Kaffee trinken.
Ich trinke gerne Kaffee.
Ich trinke lieber Kaffee als Tee.

INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO RUN THESE WORK SHEETS AND AUDIO EXERCISES
How to get the most out of my tutorials in 5 steps
1) START WITH PAGE ONE
Here you find some tables (for introducing a new topic) plus some very basic text in German. Try to read and understand the text first. You find some hints in the yellow box on the right in English.
2) GO TO the LAST PAGE
Read the text and translate it into your own language. By taking a look at the second page you can find the English translation.
3) TAKE THE AUDIO (mp3)
After reading the German text on the last page take the audio file and read and listen at the same time. If it's very hard to understand and follow the audio do it again.
4) LISTEN WITHOUT TEXT
If it's easy to read and listen to the text put away the text and listen to the audio without reading. This is much harder. Keep listening until you are confident understanding the audio. This is the fastest way to train your passive German vocabulary.
5) CREAT FULL SENTENCES
After finishing the audio exercise move to page number two of the exercise and start formulating sentences in German. You find some useful hints in the yellow boxes on the right.
This is not so much about writing but rather more about creating your own sentence in German in your head before writing it down. As a side effect of course you also learn how to write. This methodology is best for improving your active vocabulary.
