    There's no certain number of topics that you "have" to have prepared, they can ask you anything, but generally they stick to the issues from your picture stories and roleplays. I think the picture stories are the same as last year, if so it could be stuff like racism, differences between Irish and German schools etc

    Personally I think it's better than French or Irish cos out of the 15 mins of the oral, 5 have to be spent on the picture stories, 5 on the role play and the reamaining 5 on general questions, so the really won't have time to ask you about anything other than yourself/family, school etc in the general questions.

    Leaving Cert German Syllabus

    The conversation element of the oral will last 4.5 to 5 mins and will cover some of the following themes:
    • Meine Familie und ich
    • Die Schule
    • Wohnort
    • Freizeit
    • Zukunftspläne
    • Spracherlernen
    • Aufenthalt in einem deutschsprachigen Land
    • Kontakt mit Deutschen
    Also, there will be a question asking if you wish to speak about a German literary work or a German movie.

    Dont think thats true. German is probably the best oral subjects to take. They cant ask you anything about current affairs unlike french etc. There are prescribed topics that they can only ask. Dont know them all though.

    True about not anything can arise in the conversation. The topics are listed in the previous post. There are also set questions on each picture story (in schools since January 2004) and the examiner has tasks (on a card) to carry out in each role-play.
