"Come and Speak Up! Secondary Level 1" is designed for secondary school students entering the German school system without prior knowledge of German. With the TING audio pen, they can immediately learn basic vocabulary by listening, without having to read. The pen reads printed words and explains pictures, thus promoting listening comprehension.

The vocabulary covers everyday situations such as school, clothing, housing, and city life. Three central principles shape the concept:

1. Limited vocabulary.
2. Gradual introduction with repetitions.
3. Implicit grammar instruction and initial conjugation exercises.

"Come and Speak Up! Secondary Level 1" is ideal for heterogeneous groups and can be used flexibly in individual or small group work. The audio picture book and accompanying worksheets support students in rapidly building their vocabulary.
