Oral presentation

Giving an oral presentation as part of a speaking exam can be quite scary, but we're here to help you. Watch two students giving presentations and then read the tips carefully. Which tips do they follow? Which ones don’t they follow?

Instructions

Watch the video of two students doing an oral presentation as part of a speaking exam. Then read the tips below.

Melissa: Hi, everyone! Today I would like to talk about how to become the most popular teen in school.

Firstly, I think getting good academic results is the first factor to make you become popular since, having a good academic result, your teacher will award you in front of your schoolmates. Then, your schoolmates will know who you are and maybe they would like to get to know you because they want to learn something good from you.

Secondly, I think participating in school clubs and student unions can help to make you become popular, since after participating in these school clubs or student union, people will know who you are and it can help you to make friends all around the school, no matter senior forms or junior forms.

In conclusion, I think to become the most popular teen in school we need to have good academic results and also participate in school clubs and student union. Thank you!

Kelvin: Good evening, everyone! So, today I want to talk about whether the sale of cigarettes should be made illegal.

As we all know, cigarettes are not good for our health, not only oneself but also other people around. Moreover, many people die of lung cancer every year because of smoking cigarettes.

But, should the government make it illegal? I don’t think so, because Hong Kong is a place where people can enjoy lots of freedom and if the government banned the sale of cigarettes, many people would disagree with this and stand up to fight for their freedom.

Moreover, Hong Kong is a free market. If there's such a huge government intervention, I think it’s not good for Hong Kong’s economy.

So, if the government wants people to stop smoking cigarettes, what should it do? I think the government can use other administrative ways to do so, for example education and increasing the tax on cigarettes. Also, the government can ban the smokers smoking in public areas. So, this is the end of my presentation. Thank you.

It’s not easy to give a good oral presentation but these tips will help you. Here are our top tips for oral presentations.

Use the planning time to prepare what you’re going to say.
If you are allowed to have a note card, write short notes in point form.
Use more formal language.
Use short, simple sentences to express your ideas clearly.
Pause from time to time and don’t speak too quickly. This allows the listener to understand your ideas. Include a short pause after each idea.
Speak clearly and at the right volume.
Have your notes ready in case you forget anything.
Practise your presentation. If possible record yourself and listen to your presentation. If you can’t record yourself, ask a friend to listen to you. Does your friend understand you?
Make your opinions very clear. Use expressions to give your opinion .
Look at the people who are listening to you.
Write out the whole presentation and learn every word by heart.
Write out the whole presentation and read it aloud.
Use very informal language.
Only look at your note card. It’s important to look up at your listeners when you are speaking.

Useful language for presentations

Explain what your presentation is about at the beginning:

I’m going to talk about ... I’d like to talk about ... The main focus of this presentation is ...

Use these expressions to order your ideas:

First of all, ... Firstly, ... Then, ... Secondly, ... Next, ... Finally, ... Lastly, ... To sum up, ... In conclusion, ...

Use these expressions to add more ideas from the same point of view:

In addition, ... What’s more, ... Also, ... Added to this, ...

To introduce the opposite point of view you can use these words and expressions:

However, ... On the other hand, ... Then again, ...

Example presentation topics

Violent computer games should be banned.
The sale of cigarettes should be made illegal.
Homework should be limited to just two nights a week.
Should school students be required to wear a school uniform?
How to become the most popular teen in school.
Dogs should be banned from cities.

Check your language: ordering - parts of a presentation

Check your understanding: grouping - useful phrases, worksheets and downloads.

ESL Presentation Topics: 12 Mini Presentations

ESL presentation topics for intermediate and upper intermediate students. Great as a warm-up or a speaking lesson.

You can use the slideshow and share your screen on Zoom or other app when teaching online. Just click on the full screen option in the top right corner of the slideshow.

I used it with my students during our online lesson and we didn’t even have time to discuss all the topics, because they couldn’t stop talking. I was quite impressed how much they knew and also how well they could express their opinions.

One of the reasons why I love conversation activities is that I learn so much about my students. I think that we often underestimate our students and see them as the stereotypical lazy teenagers. Activities like these can show us that they are much more than that.

Just a Minute Topics

Just a Minute is a BBC Radio 4 panel show where panellists are asked to talk for one minute, without hesitation, about a topic. This game can be adapted fantastically to a whole host of ESL classroom situations and contexts. I’ve played it with adults, teens, and even young learners. Depending on the class and level, you may have to scaffold the task significantly, but with the right presentation, students can enjoy the game too. To play, you’ll either need to create topics in class or you can use our ready-made Just a Minute topic cards found below.

This quick activity is fantastic for students preparing for official exams. Whether it’s Cambridge, IELTS or Trinity, students are expected to speak individually at length from B1 level and up. Our Just a Minute topics are based on common themes found in B2 and C1 exams so that students can put their vocabulary knowledge to test while also improving their speaking skills.

What is Just a Minute?

Just a Minute is a popular radio comedy panel game on BBC Radio 4 that has been on the air since 1967. It regularly hosts comedians who are challenged to come up with a one minute talk about a topic that they may or may not know anything about.

The contestants are split into teams where they attempt to speak for one minute about a variety of possibly mundane and possibly bizarre topics. As they speak, there are three golden rules:

No hesitation
No repetition
No deviation

If any of the rules are broken, the opposing team is allowed to challenge the speaker. If the challenge is deemed correct, the challenger receives a point. If it is deemed incorrect, the speaker gets a point.

If a player challenges correctly, they take over the remaining time to finish the topic.

The team who finishes the minute is awarded a point.

If a player is able to talk for the entire minute without being challenged they are awarded an extra point.

How to play Just a Minute in the ESL classroom

Depending on the level of your class, this speaking game can be adapted very successfully.

At C1 or C2 levels, you can run the game almost identically to the real rules. Introduce the game with an authentic clip from the radio show , clarify the rules as a group, model the game yourself, then give your students a go. Challenges and scoring can be done just as the real game would be.

At B2 level, give your students a bit more scaffolding. You can allow 30 seconds of planning time. You can also eliminate the concept of challenges and award points on how much of the minute a student is able to complete (they talk for 37 seconds, they get 37 points).

At B1 level, let students work in pairs. When one person is out of ideas, the other one can tag in and finish the topic. Points are awarded by the teachers for performance (in a totally fair and non-arbitrary way of course).

The teacher should provide a supportive role throughout. Gesture your students to carry on talking, drop them little hints or write some vocabulary on the board to help them out.

Just a Minute is a fantastic way to take advantage of linking words. Follow up a lesson on linking words with some Just a Minute topic cards to spice up the class. You can also make good use of the game to practice target vocabulary. Play with only topics about the environment, fashion, work or whatever has come up in today’s lesson. Substituting a class at the last minute with no plan? Crack out the Just a Minute topics and have some fun!

Just a minute topics

We’ve designed 105 Just a Minute topics. They can be printed on card, cut up and used in class. The ideas have been carefully chosen to reflect popular topics in B2 and C1 exams such as media, leisure, the environment, health, travel, work etc. There is also a blank page for you or your class to come up with your own ideas.

English Speaking Exercises for B2

Look at the photo and the headline. Then talk for about one minute about how technology has led to an increase in some crimes, but also to new ways of fighting crime. Think about:

– the internet.

– theft of expensive items.

– surveillance and anti-theft measures.

1. Read the task above. Then choose the correct option, a or b, in the sentences below.

1 The headline refers to how technology can

a cause certain crimes to increase.

b help to fight crime.

2 The photo shows how technology can

2. Listen to a student doing the task. Which of the topics below does he mention?

artificial intelligence car crime computers credit cards

email scams mobile phones television

car crime, credit cars, email scams, mobile phones

See exercise 4.

Speaking Strategy

Avoid speaking in short, single sentences. Try to develop your statements with extra information, details and examples. Learn a variety of phrases for introducing them.

3. Read the Speaking Strategy. Then complete the phrases for introducing extra information and examples with the words below.

instance kind that way what words

a One example of ……………………… would be …

b So, for ……………………… , …

c ……………………… I mean by that is …

d The ……………………… of thing I’m talking about is …

e In other ……………………… , …

f Or to put it another ……………………… , …

a that b instance c What d kind e words f way

4. Listen again. Complete these sentences from the student’s presentation with the correct phrases from exercise 3. Write a-f.

1 …… an email saying you’ve won millions in a lottery.

2 …… cars are much harder to steal these days.

3 …… criminals can use their knowledge of technology to commit crimes.

4 …… people don’t commit crimes if there are cameras about.

5 …… crime doesn’t stop; it just moves to another area.

6 …… the mobile phone.

1 d 2 b 3 e 4 c 5 f 6 a

Email scams are a good example of people using technology to commit crime. The kind of thing I’m talking about is an email saying you’ve won millions in a lottery. Of course, they just want your bank details!

Car manufacturers use technology to combat theft. So, for instance, cars are much harder to steal these days. Car keys are very high-tech. But if you understand the technology, stealing cars is actually easier. In other words, criminals can use their knowledge of technology to commit crimes. Surveillance cameras help to reduce crime, even if they aren’t recording. What I mean by that is: people don’t commit crimes if there are cameras about. However, criminals can always find somewhere without cameras. Or to put it another way, crime doesn’t stop, it just moves to another area.

Some high-tech items have a positive and a negative effect on crime. One example of that would be the mobile phone. They often get stolen, but on the other hand, they can be used to video important evidence or call for help.

A social media campaign using the hashtag #nomakeupselfie has raised £8 million for charity in just six days. Huge numbers of women, including many celebrities, have posted photos of themselves wearing no make-up and nominated friends to do the same. At the same time, they encourage their friends to donate money to Cancer Research UK. However, the campaign was started by an individual, not by Cancer Research, and shows how social media can be a force for good.

HALF of all young people say cyberbullying is part of everyday life as majority of parents admit they are scared for their children online

Look at the new report and the headline. Then talk for about one minute about how social media can make people’s lives better or worse. Think about:

– friends and networks.

– cyberbullying and lies.

– petitions and online campaigns.

5. Read the task above. Then make notes under the headings below.

Examples of how friendships are strengthened

…………………………………………..

Examples of cyberbullying / lies

Examples of how social media campaigns can make a difference

your own answers

6. Now to the task using your notes from exercise 5. Remember to include phrases from exercise 3.

All you need to know for DELF B2 Speaking Test Preparation

by Divya Singla | Aug 1, 2022 | Blog , DELF Exam Preparation Format & Strategies , DELF/ DALF Preparation , How to Learn French

French learners find the DELF B2 Speaking test the most difficult module. Let’s discuss some tips and strategies that will help you make this challenge much easier!

What you are expected to do in the DELF B2 Speaking test

You’ll need to prepare a 10-minute long presentation based on a short extract from a newspaper/ magazine/ internet. For this, you will have 30 minutes of preparation time. At the end of 30 minutes, you’ll discuss this presentation with the examiners for about 10 minutes. This time duration will be monitored by the examiner. You’ll be given 2 topics to choose from. You should try to choose the right one, that is, the one that you have more vocabulary and ideas on. Making the right decision about this is all about employing the right technique, structure of presentation, sentence structures and getting maximum possible marks. So it is definitely not about what you enjoy discussing the most. Choose your topic not because you think it is interesting, but instead because you have more French vocabulary and ideas to elaborate on it. Act smart! You will have to present good arguments and support them with good examples (real or imaginary).

This is what the DELF B2 Speaking test usually looks like:

Part- 1: Introduction: Present the topic you’ve been given, explain its content in a summary, find the issue and then explain how you are going to structure your discussion. (about 3 minutes) Part- 2: Development: Present your arguments and then defend them as per the plan you explained earlier (you can have 2- 3 ideas) (about 8 minutes) Part- 3: Conclusion: Summarize your oral presentation, then present your conclusion while suggesting solutions to the problem at hand. (about 2 minutes) Part- 4: Debate: The examiner will now ask you questions to which you are supposed to give answers while skillfully defending your point of view. (7 minutes)

To obtain better marks in the Speaking test, you must make sure to organize your ideas and thoughts first. Also, make sure that all the arguments you are presenting are relevant to the discussion. Avoid beating about the bush. In this part, correct grammar is definitely important but not the most important aspect. You must give it your best in terms of following the structure of Speaking, grammar, pronunciations, content and argumentation.

You must master the following skills for the DELF B2 Speaking test:

Present what document you have got (source, date, publication etc.)
Extract and explain its theme
Defend your arguments while supporting them with relevant examples
Structure and organize your thoughts and ideas to help the examiner follow you easily
React to the examiner’s opinion while defending your own with relevant justification and examples.

How to plan this?

During the 30- minute preparation time, you most definitely need to make notes to organize the ideas you have on the theme you have to speak about. Use this time smartly by writing down or highlighting the keywords that strike you the most in the extract. These keywords will make it easier for you to extract the main theme of the topic. However, during this preparation time, do not write complete sentences/ paragraphs. Only note down the most important points that you are going to elaborate in front of the examiner. Since this is a “speaking” test, the examiner will not allow you to read out an already written essay. So it is enough to have a plan on the draft and elaborate it while the test is ongoing. It is better to note down a few keywords, key ideas, connectors, subjunctives and some expressions that you are going to use in your presentation. During the preparation time, you are also suggested to already imagine the possible questions/ arguments that the examiner might say after your presentation. This will help you to be prepared to have a discussion/ argumentation over the same.

Extract the problématique (use keywords for this)
Build relevant arguments using the theme and the keywords in the extract.
Organize these arguments into a logical order while adding examples (real/ imaginary)
Make a complete plan for presentation (while adding keywords)

Here’s how to practice your French Speaking skills for DELF B2 Exam

Pronunciation, rhythm, intonation: Record yourself while practicing. It will help you with time management and in the overall structure of your presentation.
Fluency: Do not obsess on speaking too quickly. Instead, take your time, rephrase and reformulate wherever you feel blocked. It can easily be done by using alternative forms, opposite words, synonyms, negation etc.
During the preparation time , write down and promise yourself to use a variety of connectors (5- 7), subjonctif (5- 7 times) and grammar components to make complex tenses. Start getting habitual of them with regular practice.
Watch French videos and listen to French podcasts. This helps in Speaking because it equips you with not only vocabulary but also with the French way of speaking which you can imitate.

Now that you’ve got the smartest tips for DELF B2 Speaking exam preparation, you are good to go! Bonne continuation!

How to Choose a Great Presentation Topic in 5 Steps

120 presentation topic ideas, 5 presentation tips.

How to Choose a Great Presentation Topic. Be novel. Begin with the end in mind.

4. Choose an appropriate presentation style.

There are many ways to present a topic. Your personality, the topic at hand, and your audience’s personas will help you determine which style would best fit you and your audience.

Select a presentation style that will communicate the main idea clearly and have a lasting impact on your audience.

For instance, explore a freeform style presenter by Sir Ken Robinson.

5. Engage with your audience.

Work on your presentation skills to make a strong connection with your audience, get through to them and leave a mark.

Think of the presenter as the link between the topic and the audience. A strong or a weak presenter can make a difference between a presentation being a thriving success or a boring failure.

Hone your skills by engaging and interacting with your audience. Make them feel like a part of the presentation and not just spectators. 70% of marketers have found presentations with interactive content to be more effective than those without.

Here are a few ways you can make your presentation interactive:

Start your speech with uncommon questions to your audience. Involve them from the get-go, like ask to raise their hands if X.

Conversational Topics for Specific Language Levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.)

Establishing which language level you're at can be quite tricky. Not only do you have to know how large your current vocabulary is , but also you have to be able to talk about specific topics.

This knowledge can be useful for three purposes:

To measure your language level more precisely
To choose a conversational subject for your lessons or speak-to-yourself sessions
To be well-prepared for official certificates

If you fail to meet these conversational requirements, it can be quite difficult to pass appropriate exams.

Of course, if you just learn for fun or you don't need official papers, you shouldn't worry too much about being able to talk about all those topics.

Let's dive right in and learn what they are.

Conversational Topics for Specific Language Levels

A1 - breakthrough (requirements).

Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has.
Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

Let's be honest. You don't know much at this level and not much is expected of you. Still, you should be able to discuss the following topics.

Expected conversational depth level: very superficial

Expected vocabulary depth: everyone is happy that you know any words at all and that you can string them into semi-coherent sentences.

A1 Conversational topics

Personal information and introductions
Offers and requests (can you ..., do you want to ... ?)
Free time and daily routines
Past events, first times, important events in your life (e.g. describing what you did last weekend)
Describing places, homes (... is big/small/red/etc.)
Shopping, food (e.g. ordering something at the restaurant)
Work/study life (What do you do _______?)
Describe people
Getting around
Suggestions/arrangements to meet (e.g. inviting someone somewhere)
Journeys/visiting places/means of transport

A2 - WAYSTAGE (requirements)

Can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).
Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.
Can describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment, and matters in areas of immediate need.

You know simple words, phrases with very limited reading skills and cannot keep up with conversations in the language. You still second guess your choice of words and constantly refer to guidelines.

Expected conversational depth level: superficial,

Expected vocabulary depth: you should know the most basic of all the words. No fancy or precise vocabulary belongs is expected of you.

A2 Conversational topics

Here are conversational topics you should be able to talk about at this level ( source ):

The individual* personal particulars* appearance* clothing* daily routine
Partnership* family* relatives* acquaintances, friends* classmates/ colleagues
Family* family members* family occasions /celebrations
Place of living* house/flat* furnishing of the living-room /bedroom* kitchen furniture, gadgets* the street, the town* (sharing the housework)
Traveling/transport* means of transport* timetable/information* buying tickets (bus, train, plane)* traveling documents

Here are sample A2 speaking tests:

Here is an excerpt from a German A2 exam (passed by those candidates). Even if you don't know any German, just pay attention to the pace of this conversation. If you do, notice the simplicity of the vocabulary which is being used.

B1 - THRESHOLD (requirements)

Photo by Jukan Tateisi on Unsplash

Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc.
Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst traveling in an area where the language is spoken.
Can produce simple connected text on familiar topics or the ones of personal interest.
Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes & ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.

This is the level which most people think of when they hear "conversational fluency". The gist of this level is that you can participate in a simplified conversation about popular topics.

Notice that topic-wise, this level is not that different from an A2. The main difference is that your vocabulary is bigger and hence you can talk about these subjects at a slightly deeper level.

Expected conversational depth level: you can discuss things at a slightly deep level

Expected vocabulary depth: you can convey many of your thoughts but you lack precision. Think "It's bad that people like" rather than "it's infuriating that people can be such mendacious scum"

B1 Conversational topics

The individual* personal particulars* appearance* inner characteristics* casual / evening wear

C2 Conversational topics

No need to waste my breath, or fingertips, here. At this level, you are absolutely fluent and can talk about almost everything. No wonder! You're approaching the level presented by well-educated-native speakers.

My only advice for you at this level is to dive into details of any topic you decide to discuss . You need to put in lots of effort to activate all those obscure words. Don't talk just about shopping. Discuss "high-impact strategies to increase a wholesale diversification". Or, you know, something of this sort.

Conversational Topics for Specific Language Levels - Summary

Knowing conversational topics for specific language levels is crucial if you want to pass any official certificate. Even more so if you decide to do it on your own. Such knowledge allows you to shield yourself from any unpleasant surprises during the speaking part of an exam.

However, if you feel no need to obtain any official documents, knowing conversational topics for specific language levels can help you prepare better for your lessons or even give you lots of question ideas for your self-talk !

How to Choose a Good Topic

Choosing the best one out of informative presentation topics can be daunting and confusing if you want to create an Informative Speech An informative speech aims to educate and enlighten an audience on a specific topic. Unlike persuasive speeches, it does not advocate for a particular opinion or belief but focuses on clearly and impartially presenting information.

The right topic makes your presentation concise, straightforward, and informative at the same time.

What does a perfect day with the family look like?

Imagine a day filled with laughter, shared meals, and playful adventures. Waking up refreshed, a family connects over breakfast, sharing dreams and creating plans. They explore together, be it a museum visit or a quiet picnic, finding joy in nature, or friendly competition. As the sun sets, reflections filled with gratitude paint the evening, solidifying the love and connection that makes the day perfect, not for its grandeur but for the simple treasures of being together.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

When asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” children explore a world of possibilities. Each child has unique dreams, from doctors to astronauts, artists to veterinarians. Their dreams may change as they grow, but nurturing their curiosity helps them find their true calling.

I personally consider Steve Jobs to be one of the greatest oral speakers. His key tip was: rehearse, rehearse and rehearse— with the phrases you want to use in your presentation.

This made me think to myself, “hey, why don’t I create a phrase bank to prepare for German oral exams?”

Here are some of my phrase banks for German oral exams, grouped by category. We’ve based these categories largely on the Goethe-Zertifikat oral exam rubrics , but you can mix, match and adapt them to any exam you’re planning to take.

Remember to take note of the different ways of saying “you”. You should use Sie for formal situations, such as asking your examiner questions, and du for informal situations, such as role-playing a conversation with a friend with the examiner. We’ve listed both forms below in all our phrases.

Ich heiße… / Ich bin… (My name is…/I am…)

Ich komme aus… (I come from…)

Ich wohne in… (I live in…)

Ich bin … Jahre alt. (I am … years old.)

Meine Hobbys sind… (My hobbies are…)

Was machen Sie/machst du gerade? (What are you doing right now?)

Was machen Sie/machst du beruflich? (What do you do professionally?)

Was machen Sie in Ihrer/machst du in deiner Freizeit? (What do you do in your free time?)

Wann haben Sie/hast du frei? (When are you free?)

For many beginner and lower-intermediate German oral exams, you’ll need to demonstrate that you can get by in daily German life. You may be asked to role-play a conversation in a store or some other German public place. These questions and phrases will help.

For the most part you should avoid using the du form in this context, as you would want to speak respectfully and formally with strangers.

Wie viel kostet … ? / Was kostet … ? (How much does … cost?)

Wo kaufen/bekommen Sie…? (Where do you buy/get…?)

Wie sind Ihre/deine Arbeitszeiten? (What are your working hours?)

Wann schließt … ? (When does … close?)

Wann öffnet die Bäckerei/der Supermarkt/die Apotheke? (When does the bakery/supermarket/pharmacy open?)

Ich hätte gern / Ich möchte… (I would like…)

Ich habe eine Frage. (I have a question/inquiry.)

Könnten Sie/könntest du mir bitte helfen? (Could you please help me?)

Könnten Sie/könntest du bitte mir ein/eine/einen … geben? (Could you please give me a … ?)

Könnten Sie mir sagen… (Could you tell me…)

Ich möchte wissen, ob… (I would like to know whether…)

Vielen Dank für die Informationen/Hilfe. (Thanks a lot for the information/help.)

Was meinen Sie/meinst du dazu? (What do you think about that?)

Meiner Meinung nach… (In my opinion…)

Ich finde, dass… (I find that…)

Ich glaube, dass… (I think that…)

Haben Sie/hast du etwas dazu zu sagen? (Do you have something to say about that?)

Wie denken Sie/denkst du? (What do you think?)

At the intermediate stages and up, you’ll need to prove that you can discuss a topic coherently, support your opinions and address counterarguments. The Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exam , for example, requires a brief presentation about an everyday topic.

Guten Tag, meine Damen und Herren. (Hello, ladies and gentlemen.)

Mein heutiges Thema ist… (Today my topic is…)

Ich spreche über dieses Thema, weil… (I am speaking about this topic because…)

Ich möchte über die folgenden Punkte sprechen… (I would like to speak about the following points…)

Erstens/zweitens/drittens werde ich über … sprechen. (First/second/third I will be talking about … .)

Ich möchte kurz zusammenfassen. (I would like to shortly conclude.)

Abschließend möchte ich sagen, dass… (In conclusion I would like to say that…)

Vielen Dank für Ihre/deine Aufmerksamkeit. (Thank you for the attention.)

Haben Sie noch Fragen? (Do you have any questions?)

Partizip 2 (Present Perfect Tense)

This tense is particularly useful for question-framing. Of course to use this tense, just be sure you’re familiar with your German participles .

Haben Sie schon etwas gegessen? (Have you eaten something already?)

Wie sind Sie/bist du nach London gefahren? (How did you travel to London?)

Wann hast du Deutsch gelernt? (When did you learn German?)

Modalverben (Modal Verbs)

German modal verbs are quite handy to use in question-framing or expressing wants, abilities, permissions, etc.:

Könn(t)en Sie Bitte… (Could/Can you please…)

Ich wollte eigentlich… (I actually wanted to…)

Darf ich… ? (May I… ?)

Trennbare Verben (Separable Verbs)

Many German oral exams will ask you to make plans or negotiate with another German speaker to demonstrate flexible conversation skills . Separable verbs are very useful here.

Kommst du Freitag um neunzehn Uhr mit? (Are you coming along on Friday at 7pm?)

Was bringst du zur Party mit? (What are you bringing along to the party?)

Um wie viel Uhr soll ich dich abholen? (At what time should I pick you up?)

Was ziehst du heute an? (What are you wearing today?)

Das sieht gut aus. (That looks good.)

These work well in expressing opinions , thoughts, conditions and situations.

weil (because):

Remember to place the verb in the second clause at the end.

Das ist so, weil… (That is so, because…)

Ich denke so, weil… (I think so, because…)

Ich habe keine Zeit, weil… (I have no time because…)

Ich brauche es, weil… (I need it because….)

Ich habe es so gemacht, weil… (I did it that way because…)

dass (that):

This connector is used to reinforce facts and express direct speech as indirect. It’s very handy when you want to express your personal opinion. This again displaces the verb in the second clause to the end.

Mir ist es klar, dass… (It is clear that…)

Ich meine, dass… (I mean to say that…)

Das zeigt uns, dass… (It shows us that…)

obwohl (although):

This could either be placed in the first clause or the second.

Obwohl ich das gesagt habe, glaube ich… (Although I said this, I think…)

Ich bin überhaupt nicht müde, obwohl ich die ganze Nacht nicht geschlafen habe. (I’m not tired at all, even though I didn’t sleep all night.)

Now that you’ve learned 59 key German oral exam phrases, it’s time to see how you can prepare for your exam.

This is the first step to ensuring that you’ll be calm and confident on test day . You’ll know what to expect, how to present yourself and, most importantly, your preparation will be focused and relevant .

If you’re taking an oral exam in an academic setting , your teacher or professor will likely explain the scope of the test, even if it’s just the basics. When you’re studying, be sure to adhere to that structure—time yourself, discuss certain topics in the order your professor specified, leave your notes somewhere hard to reach—anything to imitate what you’ll actually be experiencing on test day.

With official German language tests, you may need to do a little bit of research to know the test structure. However, it’ll be easy to find.

For example, there’s tons of information about the popular Goethe-Zertifikat exam online. You’ll see that the A1 (beginner) level exam has a basic question-and-answer format, and you’ll need to speak for about 15 minutes. However, the C2 (advanced) level exam requires you to deliver a presentation and respond to counterarguments, also within 15 minutes.

Once you know the format of the test, you’ll know what vocabulary topics would be best for you to study. Word maps are an incredible tool to avoid those long, uncomfortable pauses while speaking .

That’s because word maps make it easy to memorize a lot of related words at once. That way, you can be fully prepared for any topic you need to discuss in your German oral exam and handle anything that’s thrown at you during the test.

They’ll also help you get more use out of the phrases you’ll be preparing to use in your oral exam. If you have a wide range of nouns , verbs and adjectives to work with, you can easily swap them in and out of your German phrases, adapting them to specific situations.

The beauty of this technique is that you can be creative within a framework. Check out my examples below, where you’ll see that I’ve organized words both by theme (work) and part of speech.

verdienen (to earn)
ausgeben (to spend)
sparen (to save)
ausgleichen (to balance)
die Motivation (motivation)
das Engagement (dedication)
das Berufsleben (work life)
die Berufswelt (vocational world)
das Gehalt (salary)

Adjectives:

wenig (little)
viel (a lot)
erst (first)
noch (still)

With the above word list, I can churn out the following sentence, for example:

Ich verdiene viel, weil mein Gehalt hoch ist. Aber ich gebe viel zu viel Geld aus. Manchmal denke ich, dass ich wenig verdiene. Aber das Problem ist, dass ich kaum Geld spare. (I earn a lot, because my salary is high. But I also spend a lot. Sometimes I think that I earn less. But the problem is that I don’t save a lot.)

Success in a German oral exam isn’t just about the words and phrases you use. It’s also about your body language, eye contact and overall demeanor. These are key aspects of your speaking skills.

That’s why it’s important to practice speaking German in front of a mirror. Here’s what to look for:

A confident posture , sitting up straight but calm and relaxed.
Hands folded on your lap, not in your pockets .
Eye contact with the examiner. Eye contact is a big deal in general in German culture , and more so in German oral exams. Not looking at the examiner and speaking while looking down is considered a mark of low self-confidence.

When practicing for the exam, listening to native speakers can continually improve your skills. You can listen to the phrases listed in this post in action by looking for them on audio resources like YouTube and podcasts , as well as learning programs like FluentU .
