Getting started
Teaching German in primary school, where to begin
New to teaching German, or building a program from scratch? You don't need to be fluent to give your students a strong, engaging start. Here's the approach our resources are built around.
1
Start with greetings and cognates
Begin with Hallo and guten Tag. German and English are closely related, so many words (Haus, Wasser, Freund) are easy to recognise from the start.
2
Enjoy regular pronunciation
Once students learn German's sounds, pronunciation is consistent, what you see is what you say, which builds confidence quickly.
3
Use visuals and repetition
Pair vocabulary with pictures and actions, and revisit often. This helps articles and nouns settle in naturally over time.
4
Bring in German-speaking culture
Germany, Austria and Switzerland offer festivals, food and traditions that make the language come alive for primary learners.
