1. Welcome to Year 7 German | 欢迎来到七年级德语课

Year 7 German under OCR is designed to build real communication skills from the very first lesson. You do not need any prior knowledge – everyone starts together, and the focus is on understanding and using the language in everyday situations. Topics include personal information, family, school, hobbies and local places.

OCR 七年级德语课程的设计目标是从第一课起就培养真实的交流能力。你不需要具备任何基础——大家从同一起点出发，重点是在日常情境中理解并使用德语。主题涵盖个人信息、家庭、学校、爱好和周边场所。

Lessons are active and varied: you will sing songs, play vocabulary games, work in pairs and even create short role plays. Your teacher will guide you through listening, speaking, reading and writing, but in the early months speaking and listening take the lead. Assessment is often informal – short conversations, mini quizzes and poster projects – so you can focus on progress, not pressure.

课堂生动多样：你会唱歌、玩词汇游戏、结对练习，甚至编排简短的角色扮演。老师会带领你进行听、说、读、写训练，不过在最初几个月里，听和说是重点。评估大多是非正式的，如简短的对话、小测验和海报项目，这样你可以专注于进步，而非压力。

The most important thing to bring to class is a positive attitude. Laughing at your own mistakes and having a go are part of the process. By the end of Year 7, you should be able to introduce yourself, talk about your likes and dislikes, and describe your world in simple sentences.

课堂上最重要的准备是一份积极的态度。笑对自己的错误并敢于尝试，是这个过程中的一部分。到七年级结束时，你应该能自我介绍、谈论喜好，并用简单的句子描述自己的世界。

2. Getting Started with Pronunciation | 发音入门

German pronunciation is much more predictable than English once you master the basic sounds. Each vowel has a short and long version, and consonant combinations are consistent. Start with the alphabet: ‘A’ is pronounced ‘ah’, ‘E’ is ‘eh’, ‘I’ is ‘ee’, ‘O’ is ‘oh’ and ‘U’ is ‘oo’. The letter ‘V’ often sounds like ‘f’, as in ‘Vater’, and ‘W’ is like the English ‘v’.

只要掌握了基本音素，德语发音就比英语规律得多。每个元音都有长短两个版本，辅音组合也非常固定。先从字母表开始：A 读作“啊”，E 读作“诶”，I 读作“伊”，O 读作“哦”，U 读作“乌”。字母 V 经常发成 /f/，如 “Vater”；而 W 的发音则类似英语的 “v”。

The umlaut vowels are a new challenge. ‘Ä’ sounds similar to the ‘e’ in ‘bed’. ‘Ö’ can be made by saying ‘er’ while keeping your lips tightly rounded. ‘Ü’ is produced by positioning your mouth for ‘ee’ and then rounding your lips. The letter ‘ß’ (Eszett) always represents a sharp, voiceless ‘s’, like in ‘Straße’ (street).

变音元音是一个新挑战。Ä 的发音类似英语 bed 里的 e；Ö 可以在发“呃”的同时将双唇紧紧收圆；Ü 则是在做“伊”的口型时将嘴唇圆起来。特殊字母 ß（eszett）总是表示一个清辅音 /s/，如 “Straße”（街道）。

Other key combinations: ‘ie’ is a long ‘ee’ as in ‘Liebe’, while ‘ei’ is like the English ‘eye’ as in ‘mein’. ‘sch’ sounds like ‘sh’, ‘sp’ and ‘st’ at the start of a word become ‘shp’ and ‘sht’, so ‘Sport’ begins with ‘shport’. Practise with words like ‘Schule’, ‘sprechen’ and ‘stehen’ until they feel natural. Recording yourself and comparing with audio clips is one of the fastest ways to improve.

其他重要组合：ie 发成长音“伊”，如 “Liebe”；ei 则像英语的 “eye”，如 “mein”。sch 读作“sh”，而位于词首的 sp 和 st 分别读作“shp”和“sht”，因此 “Sport” 的开头是 “shport”。用 “Schule”“sprechen”和“stehen”等词反复练习，直到发音自然。录下自己的声音并与音频对比，是快速进步的捷径之一。

3. Greetings and Introductions | 问候与自我介绍

First conversations are all about making a friendly connection. Start with ‘Hallo’ or ‘Guten Tag’ and know when to use ‘Guten Morgen’ before midday. In northern Germany a simple ‘Moin’ works any time, while in the south you might hear ‘Grüß Gott’. Saying goodbye is just as important: ‘Tschüs’ is casual, ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ is more formal.

初次对话的重点是友好地建立联系。从 “Hallo” 或 “Guten Tag” 开始，并分清午前使用 “Guten Morgen”。在德国北部，一个简单的 “Moin” 随时可用，而在南部你可能会听到 “Grüß Gott”。道别同样重要：“Tschüs” 用于随意场合，“Auf Wiedersehen” 则更正式。

To introduce yourself, say ‘Ich heiße …’ or ‘Ich bin …’. Then ask ‘Wie heißt du?’ If you want to know where someone is from, use ‘Woher kommst du?’ and reply with ‘Ich komme aus …’. The question ‘Wie geht es dir?’ invites answers like ‘Mir geht es gut’, ‘Es geht’ or ‘Nicht schlecht’.

自我介绍时说 “Ich heiße …” 或 “Ich bin …”，然后可以问 “Wie heißt du?”。如果想知道对方来自哪里，用 “Woher kommst du?”，回答 “Ich komme aus …”。问候语 “Wie geht es dir?” 的常见回应有 “Mir geht es gut”“Es geht”或“Nicht schlecht”。

From the start, you will also learn to express feelings: ‘Ich bin müde’ (tired), ‘Ich bin glücklich’ (happy) or ‘Ich bin aufgeregt’ (excited). Building a bank of useful adjectives early on helps you personalise every conversation and makes speaking feel more rewarding.

从一开始，你还会学习表达感受：“Ich bin müde”（疲惫）、“Ich bin glücklich”（开心）或“Ich bin aufgeregt”（兴奋）。尽早积累一批实用形容词，能让你把每一次对话都带上个人色彩，开口说话也更有成就感。

4. Numbers, Dates and Times | 数字、日期和时间

Numbers appear everywhere: talking about age, giving your phone number or discussing prices. Learn 1–12 first: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn, elf, zwölf. Then the teens: dreizehn, vierzehn … neunzehn. After that come the multiples of ten: zwanzig, dreißig, vierzig, fünfzig, sechzig, siebzig, achtzig, neunzig. The pattern for 21 upwards is ‘one-and-twenty’ – so 21 is ‘einundzwanzig’, 45 is ‘fünfundvierzig’.

数字无处不在：报年龄、留电话号码或者谈论价格。先学 1 到 12：eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn, elf, zwölf。然后是十几的数字：dreizehn, vierzehn … neunzehn。接着是整十：zwanzig, dreißig, vierzig, fünfzig, sechzig, siebzig, achtzig, neunzig。从 21 往上的规则是“个位+und+十位”，因此 21 是 “einundzwanzig”，45 是 “fünfundvierzig”。

Dates require the months: Januar, Februar, März, April, Mai, Juni, Juli, August, September, Oktober, November, Dezember. Days of the week are Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag (or Sonnabend) and Sonntag. To give the date, say ‘Heute ist der dritte Mai’ – note the ordinal number: erste, zweite, dritte, vierte …

表达日期需要月份和序数词。月份：Januar, Februar, März, April, Mai, Juni, Juli, August, September, Oktober, November, Dezember。星期：Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag（或 Sonnabend）和 Sonntag。日期表达如 “Heute ist der dritte Mai”（今天是五月三日），注意序数词 erste, zweite, dritte, vierte 等。

Telling the time in German uses the 24-hour clock officially, though in conversation the 12-hour clock is common. ‘Es ist acht Uhr’ means 8 o’clock. Half past is tricky: ‘halb neun’ means half an hour before nine, i.e. 8:30. For quarter past use ‘Viertel nach acht’ and for quarter to say ‘Viertel vor neun’. Practise with ‘Wie spät ist es?’ as often as you can.

德语表达时间时，官方使用 24 小时制，但日常对话中 12 小时制也很普遍。“Es ist acht Uhr” 是八点。半点要特别注意：“halb neun” 意思是九点前半小时，也就是 8:30。八点一刻是“Viertel nach acht”，八点四十五是“Viertel vor neun”。尽可能多地用 “Wie spät ist es?” 进行练习。

5. Family, Friends and Descriptions | 家庭、朋友与描述

Talking about family is at the heart of Year 7 German. Key words include ‘meine Mutter’ (my mother), ‘mein Vater’ (my father), ‘meine Schwester’ (my sister), ‘mein Bruder’ (my brother), ‘meine Oma’ (my gran), ‘mein Opa’ (my grandad). Extend
