Understanding German 👂
Comprehension means taking a German prompt apart: main message first, then details, then opinion or time clues.

Match German to meaning 🔗
- morgen
- am Wochenende
- interessant
- langweilig
- tomorrow
- at the weekend
- interesting
- boring
Do not translate every word first
For GCSE comprehension, find the message and the evidence. Unknown words are less dangerous when the main clue is clear.
