Media tip: Listen once. Then listen again and repeat only the words you know. You do not need to understand every word.

I can …

1. I can name six feelings.
2. I can ask: How do you feel?
3. I can answer: I'm happy / sad / angry / worried / excited / tired.
4. I can use a short reason: I'm excited because it's game day.
5. I can react kindly: Are you okay?

Learning path

Notice → understand → practise → use → feedback → use again

Keep it simple. Clear English is more important than a perfect accent.

Before you start: What do you know?

Try without help first.

1. Look in a mirror or make a face. Which word do you know already?
2. Complete: I'm ______.
3. Ask a partner: How do you feel?

Hint: Start with I'm ...

Deutsch-Hilfe: Sag zuerst nur ein Gefühlswort. Das reicht.

Example: I'm happy.

Solution idea: How do you feel? – I'm happy.

Input: Six feelings

Picture input

Picture	Word	Easy chunk
	happy	I'm happy.
	sad	I'm sad.
	angry	I'm angry.
	worried	I'm worried.
	excited	I'm excited!
	tired	I'm tired.

Important: A face can mean different things. Use the situation too.

Word bank

English	German help	Mini-situation
happy	froh, glücklich	Good news!
sad	traurig	My team lost.
angry	wütend	Someone broke my pen.
worried	besorgt	There is a test.
excited	aufgeregt, voller Vorfreude	The class trip is tomorrow!
tired	müde	It is late.

Useful chunks:

Chunk	Use
How do you feel?	Ask about a feeling.
I'm happy.	Say your feeling.
Are you okay?	Show care.
A little.	Make the feeling smaller.
because ...	Give a short reason.

Audio input: Mini-scene

Listen to your teacher or a partner reading this slowly. Listen two times.

Alex: Hi Mia. How do you feel?

Mia: I'm excited. It's game day!

Alex: Nice! I'm tired.

Mia: Are you worried?

Alex: A little. But I'm okay.

First listen: Which two feelings do you hear?

Second listen: Who is excited? Who is tired?

Hint: Listen for the words after I'm.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Höre nur auf die Gefühlswörter.

Solution: Mia is excited. Alex is tired. Alex is also a little worried.

Notice the language

Two useful patterns:

I'm + feeling.

Example: I'm worried.

How do you feel? – I'm + feeling.

Example: How do you feel? – I'm tired.

Do not say: I happy.

Say: I'm happy.

That is one important target for this course.

Pronunciation: Speak clearly

Use the video or your teacher as a model. Pause and repeat.

Word	Say it in clear parts	Focus
happy	HAP-py	Strong first part.
sad	sad	Short and clear.
angry	AN-gry	Strong first part.
worried	WOR-ried	Strong first part.
excited	ex-CI-ted	Strong middle part.
tired	tired	Say it slowly first.

Goal: Be understandable. You do not need to sound like a native speaker.

Word bank: happy · sad · angry · worried · excited · tired · a little · because

Hint: Change only one or two words first.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Tausche zuerst nur das Gefühlswort aus.

Reading: Sam's school day

Sam has a busy day. In the morning, Sam is tired. There is a maths test, so Sam is a little worried. At lunch, Sam gets good news. The class trip is on Friday. Sam is excited. After school, Sam plays basketball with friends. The team loses, and Sam is sad for a short time. Then a friend says, “Are you okay?” Sam smiles and says, “Yes, I'm okay.”

Try English first:

1. How does Sam feel in the morning?
2. Why is Sam worried?
3. What makes Sam excited?
4. What does Sam's friend ask?

Hint: Look for tired, worried, excited and the question at the end.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Suche die Gefühlswörter im Text.

Solution: Sam is tired in the morning. Sam is worried because there is a maths test. Sam is excited about the class trip. The friend asks, “Are you okay?”

Speaking: Your turn

Work with a partner.

A: How do you feel today?

B: I'm ______.

A: Why?

B: Because ______.

If you do not want to share a real feeling, use a fictional one.

Example: I'm excited because our class game starts soon.

Short writing

Write 3 or 4 short sentences.

Starter:

Hi ______,

I'm ______ today.

I'm ______ because ______.

See you!

Word bank: happy · sad · angry · worried · excited · tired · school · test · game · friend · weekend

Hint: One feeling is enough.

Deutsch-Hilfe: Schreibe kurze Sätze. Nutze die Satzstarter.

Example: Hi Ben, I'm excited today. I'm excited because our class trip is tomorrow. See you!

Mini mediation

Your classmate says in German:

„Ich bin müde und ein bisschen besorgt wegen des Tests.“

A teacher asks: “How does your classmate feel?”

Try a short English answer.

Hint: Use tired and a little worried.

Solution: My classmate is tired and a little worried about the test.

You do not need a word-for-word translation. Keep the meaning.

Feedback: Two checks only

Check your work.

1. Did you use I'm + feeling?
2. Can another person understand your message?

Then improve one sentence.

Friendly feedback: “I understand your feeling.” / “Try I'm worried, not I worried.”

Use again

Come back later.

Say three new mini-sentences:

I'm happy because ...

I'm worried because ...

I'm tired because ...

Change the situations. Use your own ideas or fictional ideas.

Can-do check

I can ...	Yes	With help	Not yet
name six feelings	□	□	□
ask “How do you feel?”	□	□	□
answer with “I'm ...”	□	□	□
give one short reason	□	□	□
react with “Are you okay?”	□	□	□

If you tick with help or not yet, repeat one mini-scene.

Safe learning

Use fictional names and situations when you want privacy.

Voice recordings are optional. Keep them private unless you and your teacher decide otherwise.

Do not upload photos, voices or personal feelings without a clear reason and permission.

If you use AI outside this course, check the answer and write your final sentence yourself. Do not send personal data.
