rainaa

how do you actually study for german?
i haven't studied for german ever and i've got on fine, but i'd really like an a for the JC instead of my usual b's :P

fabulousdiva

trying to do some letter learning ... not going too well!!!


what the hell do you study for ,for a note or postcard??!!ugh i am so worried !! the listing better be easy!!!

rainaa

for the listening i'd sugggest learning street directions, things like under, behind, in front of, past, across from, first/second/third street.
+ common destinations; castle, cathedral, stadium.

also know your alphabet + numbers.
go over food briefly.


postcard/letter is hard to predict since it differs
just know your past tense (perfekt; ich bin gegangen. know what verbs take sein/haben and the irregular past)

general holiday vocabulary is good to know too
like the weather, beach etc.

Yes, now I'm sure of my B. Maybe even a high one, because the letter and note were sooo simple.

Cakes.

That was soooo easy. :pac:

Postcard was a surprise! Was this like the first time one ever came up?
Anyways, was simple. I threw in an address aswell, dunno if your supposed to though, have never done postcards before!

Listening was alright. I was dreading it because I nearly failed the listening in the mocks. Was easy enough afterall! I messed up the recipe bad though! I got butter :cool: But the rest, I could well have got all the rest wrong. What did everyone get for the others?
The railway announcement was a joke. I got pretty much none of that apart from the place names.
Andrea needs help part was a bit hard too. Didn't really understand here she was talking so fast. Section E about the language assistant was a relief! And easy section E, thank god!

The reading comprehensions were absolutely simple. I could nearly safely say that I got everything right in that section.
Letter was a let down by me really though. I did alright in it. Got 5 or 6 lines per paragraph. But it was so repetitive! I couldn't think of anything fancy to say, just the very basics. I couldn't remember how to say "because" aswell, which cost me a lot I'd say. Was still fairly easy, but I could have done better. Probably got most of the marks still.
Postcard was simple! Apart from when we are returning, couldn't remember the exact word, but it phrased it so I wouldn't have to know the word for return.

The listening section cost me the A, I'd say. I'm very confident of a B. I hardly did as bad to get a C.

I got a B id say. Everything went better that expected.:)

Lucan Bohs

Happy enough should be ok for a B

I said 1/4 litre of cream, and for the two spoons, tablespoon and the other one, whatever it was, I said flour for both, just a guess. were both of them right?

That went well. For the listening comprehension question about the dog, did he have a broken spine or broken leg? I wrote spine, then changed it to leg, because; (a) 'spine' sounds like 'Bein ' and (b) if his spine was broken, he'd probably be dead!

It was leg. Spine popped into my head too, but it's way to unlikely :P

I wrote spine :pac:

It was Butter, flour, cream, salt and cheese. They were making pasta with cheese sauce :P
