Look first. What can you see? Say three words in English. Then finish: We could ...
Mini help if needed: weekend = Wochenende · plan = Plan · friend = Freund/Freundin · activity = Aktivität
I can
| I can ... | Example |
|---|---|
| make a suggestion | Let's go bowling. |
| react to an idea | Sounds good! / I'm not sure. |
| ask about time and place | What time? / Where shall we meet? |
| agree on a plan | Great. See you at three. |
Before you start
You already know many useful words. Try first without German.
Quick start: Name two activities. Say one day of the weekend. Say one time.
Model: Saturday – bowling – 3 o'clock.
Notice and understand
Media starter: What could we do?
Look at the pictures. Choose one activity for Saturday.
Chunk: We could go cycling.
Chunk: Let's go to the cinema.
Chunk: How about playing mini golf?
Chunk: Why don't we have a picnic?
Listening and viewing
First watch: Do not read a transcript. Listen for ideas you already know. Which weekend activities can you understand?
Your first-listen task: Catch only three things: a day, one activity and one food word. It is okay if you do not understand everything.
Second watch: Listen again. Pause when needed. Say one sentence: They are talking about ...
Hint: Listen for repeated words and key nouns. Do not translate every word.
Mini listening: Mia and Sam
A partner or your teacher reads the dialogue slowly two times. Do not look at the transcript first.
Task: What do Mia and Sam plan? When do they meet?
Transcript – open after listening
Mia: Hi Sam. Are you free on Saturday?
Sam: Yes. What do you want to do?
Mia: How about playing mini golf?
Sam: Sounds good. What time?
Mia: How about three o'clock?
Sam: Great. Let's meet at the bus stop at quarter to three.
Mia: Perfect. See you then!
Check: They plan to play mini golf. They meet at quarter to three.
Words in context
Weekend word bank
| Activity | Time | Place | Reaction |
|---|---|---|---|
| go cycling | on Saturday | at the park | Sounds good! |
| go bowling | at three o'clock | at the bowling alley | Great idea! |
| watch a film | in the afternoon | at the cinema | Maybe. |
| play mini golf | after lunch | at the mini-golf course | I'm not sure. |
| have a picnic | at twelve | in the park | Sorry, I can't. |
Try: Pick one item from each column and make a short plan.
Pronunciation
Clear speech is more important than a perfect accent.
Say the chunks in small groups:
How about | playing mini golf?
Why don't we | go cycling?
Sounds good!
What time?
Tap the rhythm with your hand. Stress the important words: SATurday – BOWLing – THREE o'CLOCK.
Listen only for suggestion phrases you recognize. Stop after you hear one useful phrase and repeat it once.
Try
Useful chunks
| Job | Chunk |
|---|---|
| suggest | Let's + verb. |
| suggest | Why don't we + verb? |
| suggest | How about + -ing? |
| suggest | We could + verb. |
| agree | Sounds good! |
| agree | Great idea! |
| react carefully | Maybe. |
| disagree politely | I'm not sure. How about ...? |
| cannot come | Sorry, I can't. |
Notice: After Let's, could and Why don't we, use the base verb: go, play, meet. After How about, use -ing: playing, going, meeting.
Functional grammar
Complete the models orally.
Let's + go → Let's go bowling.
We could + watch → We could watch a film.
Why don't we + meet → Why don't we meet at three?
How about + play → How about playing mini golf?
Feedback: If you say How about play mini golf?, improve it to How about playing mini golf?
Quick choice
Choose the better line.
A: Let's go cycling. B: Let's going cycling.
Feedback: A is correct: Let's + base verb.
Choose the better line.
A: How about play bowling? B: How about playing bowling?
Feedback: B has the correct pattern How about + -ing. A more natural activity phrase is go bowling: How about going bowling?
Use and communicate
Speaking: A short weekend chat
Work with a partner. Keep the talk short: about six to eight turns.
A: Are you free on Saturday?
B: Yes. / Sorry, not on Saturday.
A: How about ...?
B: Sounds good! / I'm not sure. How about ...?
A: Great. What time?
B: How about ...?
A: Where shall we meet?
B: Let's meet ...
Goal: Agree on activity, day/time and place.
Help if needed: You may point to the word bank. You do not need a long answer.
Speaking support levels
Level 1 – strong help: Read the model and change only the activity, time and place.
Level 2 – some help: Use the chunks, but build your own sentences.
Level 3 – little help: Speak without looking for 30–45 seconds.
Private recording option: You may record your dialogue only for yourself or your teacher if this is allowed. Recording is voluntary. Do not upload it publicly and do not share private social-media data.
Writing: Our weekend plan
Write 4–6 connected sentences.
Writing frame:
Hi ...,
Are you free on ...?
How about ...?
We could meet at ... at ...
Does that sound good?
See you!
Word bank: Saturday · Sunday · cinema · park · bowling · mini golf · cycling · at three · after lunch · bus stop
Check before you finish: activity? day/time? place? friendly ending?
Mediation: Help a friend
Your German-speaking friend says: „Sag bitte, dass ich Samstag kann, aber lieber Minigolf als Kino machen möchte.“
Do not translate word for word. Give the message in simple English.
Possible answer: I can come on Saturday. How about playing mini golf instead of going to the cinema?
Feedback and improve
Partner feedback
Use three short checks.
1. I understood the plan. 2. I heard at least one suggestion chunk. 3. I heard a clear time or place.
Then give one tip: Try “How about ...?” or Say the time again.
Improve one line
First version: We go cinema Saturday?
Better version: How about going to the cinema on Saturday?
Now improve one of your own lines. Keep your idea; change only what helps the listener.
If a teacher-approved AI tool is used in class, use it only for feedback on a small part of your text. Check whether the language is really at your level. Keep your own wording and do not let a tool replace your text.
Use again: Mini-transfer
New situation
Your first plan is not possible because it rains.
Make a new indoor suggestion.
Model: Okay. How about going bowling instead?
Add a reaction and a new meeting time.
Can-do check
| I can ... | Yes | Almost | Not yet |

| react politely | □ | □ | □ |
| ask for a time | □ | □ | □ |
