    Hi! Im so screwed for German Oral its unbeliveable..
    Along with not being too interested EVER we have a crap teacher who neglected Oralwork until Wednesday before the holidays, all we have done is ourselves, family and school..We don't even know what were actually gonna be asked! I have done research myself to find out but after that im fairly clueless..
    Anyone on the same boat or anyone willing to help??? Please!!

    the examiner has to ask you about yourself, family, school and where you live, after that they can only ask like 2 other questions cos they have to move on to the roleplays and picture stories, so be able to answer questions on those and you won't be too badly off.....

    If you haven't already got it you could get the book "Deutsch für die Mundliche Prüfung", it basically covers everything you'll be asked. :)

    In the General questions they can only ask you on 6 topics, and they'll only ask 3 or 4 out of the 6. Think the 6 are family, area, school, freetime, careers and then german as a subject. They'll also ask you 3 past tense questions, what you did last summer, if you were ever in germany, what you did yesterday or something. Past tense goes for a lot of marks so try and have a few really accurate bits prepared.

    Then you have roleplays and picture sequences. Just learn them off, practice the roleplays with someone maybe... Don't be too worried, it'll be grand, like they can't ask you anything about politics or anything like they can in irish or french.
