Dein Weg: Notice → understand → try → use → communicate → feedback → improve → use again.
Medien-Einstieg

Look at the picture first.
What can you say at the start of a conversation?
Try in English:
- Hello!
- Hi, how are you?
- Nice to see you.
Try first. Then use the help below.
Hint: Start with a greeting.
Deutsch-Hilfe, wenn nötig: Beginne mit einer kurzen Begrüßung. Mehr brauchst Du noch nicht.
Watch and notice
Watch the beginning first. Listen for greetings and names. Do not try to understand every word.
First viewing: What greeting do you hear?
Second viewing: What question starts the conversation?
Mini-check: Say one greeting aloud.
I-can-Ziele
Nach diesem aiMOOC kannst Du:
- I can start a short conversation.
- I can continue with one or two simple questions.
- I can react with short connected answers.
- I can end a conversation politely.
- I can ask back when I want to know more.
- I can use simple conversation chunks without translating every word.
Vorwissen
You already know many useful words.
Say or complete:
Hello, …
My name is …
I like …
How are … ?
What about … ?
If you are unsure, use the word bank:
hello · fine · name · like · you · bye
Notice: A conversation has three parts

A short conversation often has:
- Start: Hello! / Hi! / How are you?
- Continue: What do you like? / Really? / What about you?
- End: See you! / Bye! / Have a nice day!
You do not need long sentences. Short and clear is good.
Model conversation
Mia: Hi, Leo. How are you?
Leo: I'm fine, thanks. And you?
Mia: I'm good. What do you do after school?
Leo: I play football. What about you?
Mia: I listen to music.
Leo: Nice! See you tomorrow.
Mia: Bye!
Notice: Leo asks back: And you? Mia asks a new question. The talk ends with See you and Bye.
Listening and Viewing
Rule: Listen first. Read later.
Use the short model above with a partner or teacher. One person reads Mia, one person reads Leo. Read slowly once. The listener does not look at the text.
First listen:
- Who likes football?
- Who likes music?
- What words end the talk?
Listen again: Clap once when you hear a question.
Transcript after listening
Now read:
Mia: Hi, Leo. How are you?
Leo: I'm fine, thanks. And you?
Mia: I'm good. What do you do after school?
Leo: I play football. What about you?
Mia: I listen to music.
Leo: Nice! See you tomorrow.
Mia: Bye!
Feedback: If you understood the topic and the ending, that is enough for the first listen.
Active listening

A good conversation is not only speaking. You also listen and react.
Useful reactions:
Really?
Nice!
Cool!
Me too.
Oh, okay.
Try one reaction after this sentence:
I play basketball after school.
Reading

Vocabulary in context
Use chunks, not single words.
| Function | Useful chunk | Deutsch-Hilfe |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Hi! How are you? | Hallo! Wie geht's? |
| Continue | What about you? | Und du? |
| Continue | Really? | Wirklich? |
| Ask | What do you like? | Was magst du? |
| End | I have to go now. | Ich muss jetzt los. |
| End | See you tomorrow! | Bis morgen! |
Remember: First try the English chunk. Use German only if you still need help.
Pronunciation
Clarity is more important than sounding like a native speaker.
Say the chunks in small rhythm groups:
How are you?
What about you?
See you tomorrow.
I have to go now.
Speak slowly first. Then a little more naturally.
Tip: Do not stress every word. Stress the important words.
How ARE you?
What about YOU?
See you toMORrow.
Speaking

Step 1: Build a mini-talk
Choose one line from each box.
Start:
- Hi!
- Hello!
- Hi, how are you?
Continue:
- What do you like?
- What do you do after school?
- What about you?
React:
- Nice!
- Really?
- Me too.
End:
- See you!
- Bye!
- Have a nice day!
Speak for about 20–30 seconds with one partner.
Step 2: Ask back
Partner A: I like gaming.
Partner B: Really? What games do you like?
Partner A: I like racing games. What about you?
Now change the topic:
music · sport · school · food · free time
Help ladder
Use only as much help as you need.
Help 1 – English first: Start with Hi!
Help 2 – sentence starter: What do you … ?
Help 3 – word bank: like · do · play · listen · watch · after school
Help 4 – model: What do you do after school?
Help 5 – Deutsch: Frage nach einer bekannten Freizeitaktivität.
Functional grammar
You need simple question patterns.
Do you like music?
What do you like?
What do you do after school?
Are you tired?
How are you?
Use the grammar to keep the conversation going.
Mini-rule: With you + like/do, many questions use do.
Do you like football?
Do not learn a long grammar table here. Use the pattern in a real mini-talk.
Writing
Write a short dialogue with 6–8 lines.
Use this writing frame:
A: Hi, ________. How are you?
B: I'm ________. And you?
A: I'm ________. What do you ________?
B: I ________. What about you?
A: I ________.
B: Nice! See you ________.
A: Bye!
Word bank: fine · good · like · do after school · play football · listen to music · tomorrow
Feedback check:
- Did you start the conversation?
- Did you ask back?
- Did you end the conversation?
- Are your sentences easy to understand?
Mediation mini-task
Your German-speaking friend asks:
„Wie kann ich auf Englisch höflich ein kurzes Gespräch beenden?“
Do not translate everything. Give two useful English chunks.
Example start:
You can say: …
End a conversation
Useful endings:
I have to go now.
See you later.
See you tomorrow.
Have a nice day!
Bye!
Watch for more ways to say goodbye. For this course, you only need the simple phrases above.
Viewing task: Which goodbye phrase is easy enough for you to use today?
Mini-Transfer
Situation: You meet a classmate before an after-school club.
Your talk should have four moves:
greet → ask → react or ask back → end
Example:
Hi! How are you?
Fine. What club are you in?
I'm in the art club. What about you?
I'm in the sports club. See you!
Now make your own version.
Feedback and improve
After your first try, your partner gives only one piece of feedback.
Choose one:
Good start.
Good question.
Ask back once.
Speak a little louder.
Use one goodbye phrase.
Then do the same conversation again.
Goal: Improve one small thing, not everything at once.
Self-Check: Can do
Mark for yourself:
| I can … | Yes | A little | Not yet |
|---|---|---|---|
| start with a greeting | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| ask one simple question | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| ask back with “And you?” or “What about you?” | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| react with “Really?”, “Nice!” or “Me too.” | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
| end with a goodbye phrase | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |
If you tick Not yet, go back to the model conversation and try again with the help ladder.
Safe and fair use
Use fictional names and situations in this course. Do not post private social-media data.
Audio or video recording is optional. Keep recordings private unless everyone clearly agrees to share them.
Do not upload classmates' recordings to external services without permission.
If you use AI feedback, check whether the language fits Klasse 7, G-Niveau. Your own speaking and writing must stay your own work. AI should not replace it.
Understandable English is the goal. You do not need a perfect accent.
E-Ausblick
Only for a controlled extra challenge:
When I arrived, my friend had already left.
This is a first look at the past perfect. You do not need it for today's conversation task.
Do not add passive or reported speech here. Keep your main conversation simple.
