German Orals

Aporia

How many sentences would you need on each picture?
My grind's teacher just gave me two for every picture but my actual teacher gave me about 6 per picture.

????!!!

Well obviously the more you say the better but it's what level everyone is comfortable with. The main thing is that what you say is grammatically correct and sentence accurate and you can rememeber it! once you get the main points in each picture you should be fine!

i'd say at least four, but tbh some pictures you can't get four sentences on. like for instance last year when i done my leaving (you might have the same picture sets) there was one picture that had someone holding a mobile phone and you could read the text "miriam kannst du heute..." (or something along the lines) there's just not much you can say on that.

so add in as much as you can where you can... and good luck

ya they've the same pictures as we had last year..

I'd probably say 5 would be grand, if you dont feel comfortable with that then do learn as much as you can remember. I think 2 sentences would be the bear minimum though.

i think you're supposed to describe what's going on in 10-15 sentences (pretty sure that's what it says in deutsch fuer die muendliche pruefung - the oral book i have). had an oral the other day and i got "computerspielen statt hausaufgaben". was grand except for the questions on the issue in general...

hint: buy a german oral book with CD. It gives you the sentences (2 different versions I think) and then listen to the CD so you can say them right.

sorted.

yeh, seriously thinking about getting that book, then rip the cd to you mp3 if you have one and listen to it on the way to school, it really helped me and i only started doing it a week before the oral so it's not that bad
