Please note that this list should not be seen as a self-study aid, as only brief meanings have been given and candidates may need help from their teacher/tutor to interpret some items correctly. Foundation Tier: Assessment tasks for Foundation Tier Listening and Reading will be based on material in this vocabulary list. The assessments will contain some unfamiliar vocabulary but this will not be tested. Higher Tier: Assessment tasks for Higher Tier Listening and Reading will be based on material in both the Foundation and Higher Tier lists. Assessments will contain some unfamiliar vocabulary, and some of this will be tested, since the national subject criteria require candidates to use a range of techniques to deduce meaning. Speaking and Writing In Controlled Assessment tasks, candidates may use vocabulary from the Foundation and Higher tier lists but can also use vocabulary that specifically suits the tasks they choose to do and their own personal interests. Prior knowledge It is expected that candidates will be already familiar with the following:  Numbers – (ordinal and cardinal)  Days of the week, months of the year and seasons  Towns, countries and nationalities  Feminine and plural forms of the words listed  Prefixes and suffixes of words already listed  Target-language words used in English  English words used in the target language.  Grammatical items and structures figuring in Appendix B in the Specification (e.g. conjunctions, prepositions, both simple and compound, reflexives, common adverbs and adverbial phrases, etc.)  Straightforward and common cognates Please note that some easily recognisable cognates may not be present in this list; however, others have been presented as a help to teachers and candidates. Cognates included in this list GCSE German General Vocabulary List Page 3 of 52 © OCR 2009 are those that are written similarly to their English counterparts, but pronounced in a markedly different way. At Higher tier, candidates should know how to interpret suffixes as linguistic markers showing relationships between different parts of speech and have an awareness of the function of prefixes to modify the meaning of the root: e.g. réserver réservation place réservée übernachten Übernachtung producir reducir introducir Page 4 of 52 GCSE German General Vocabulary List © OCR 2009  German Vocabulary List General German Vocabulary List General Foundation ab from (e.g. time) ab und zu now and again Abend (abends) (in the) evening als/ wenn when (conj) bald (bis bald) soon (see you…soon!) bevor before damals then (= at that time) dann then (= at that time) endlich / zuletzt finally / at last erst (um) not until früh (früher) early (previously) gestern yesterday gewöhnlich usually heute today immer (noch) always (still) manchmal sometime(s) Mittag (mittags) midday (at midday) Mitte (mitten in) middle (in the middle of) Mitternacht midnight Monat (monatlich) month(ly) morgen tomorrow Morgen (morgens) (in the) morning nachdem after nachher afterwards Nachmittag (nachmittags) (in the) afternoon nächst following/next (e.g.day/week) neulich recently nicht mehr no longer nie never noch still (=even now) noch nicht not yet plötzlich suddenly schon already sobald as soon as sofort immediately täglich daily übermorgen day after tomorrow vorgestern day before yesterday vorher beforehand/ previously Vormittag (vormittags) morning (in the morning) zuerst at first GCSE German General Vocabulary List Page 5 of 52 © OCR 2009 German Vocabulary List General aber but / however alle all / everyone allein alone also / so therefore / so andere other anderthalb one and a half anfangen to begin/ start Antwort answer antworten to answer Art sort / kind auch also Auf Wiedersehen good-bye!
