Foreign Languages OT

JDOC1996

Dies ist für die leute in die leaving cert wir kann unsere sprachen sprechen, und aufbessern unsere vokabular, grammatik etc. Du must spreche ins englisch wass du hat gesprechen.

This is for all of us in the leaving cert cycle where we can talk through our foreign languages and hopefully improve our vocab, grammar etc.
Any language is welcome, you just have to translate what you say into english My german is appaling btw :P

Je parle la français mais pas bien...donc je dois ameliorer pour le Bac l'année prochaine. Je voudrais un A1...

I speak French but not well...so I have to improve for the leaving cert next year. I would like an A1 ..

Todavía recuerdola mayor parte de mi espanol, porque en TY me hice amiga de estudiantes de España, que afortunado XD
Realmente necesito aprender mis verbos...

I still remember most of my Spanish because in Ty I made friends with the spanish students, how lucky XD I really need to learn my verbs though...:o

Writing in normal spanish is really weird for me because ive gotten used to using Spanish text talk and slang and stuff on facebook talking to my friends in spain :eek: XD

Zijn er nog andere Nederlands sprekers die toevallig Nederlands voor hun LC doen rond deze tijd / degenen die het al hebben gedaan? Ik denk dat ik nog steeds vloeiend Nederlands praat maar aangezien ik er al bijna vijf jaar niet meer woon zou ik dolgraag nog wat communiceren met andere LC kandidaten (eigenlijk met iedereen die dit kan lezen!).

Als je het spreekt zou ik nog wat hulp kunnen gebruiken met de dt regel, die wist ik in basisschool maar nu ben ik hem helemaal vergeten:o met 't kofschip enzo

Is there anyone else who happens to be doing their LC around this time / those who have already done Dutch for their LC? I think that I'm still fluent but considering I've been living abroad for almost five years I'd love to communicate with other candidates (actually with whoever is able to read this!).

if you do speak it I need help with the dt rule, I knew it in primary school but now I've completely forgotten it:o with 't kofschip etc.

:cool:

Je voudrais un A1 aussi. J'ai regarde films et youtube videos en francais pour améliorer. Février derniere, je suis allée en France avec mon école et j'ai fait beacoup des amis francais. Ils parles francais trop rapide donc c'etait difficile de les comprendre... Mais ils parles Anglais trés bien!

I want an A1 too. I watch films and youtube videos in french to improve. Last February I went to France with my school and I made loads of French friends. They speak very fast so it was difficult to understand them.

Watch your articles and it's always beaucoup de, never beaucoup des.


Moi j'espérais de recevoir un A1 aujourd'hui aussi, mais malheureusement je n'ai que reçu un B1. Ce n'est pas juste selon moi car ceux dans ma classe qui n'ont pas un bon niveau de français ont obtenu de meilleures notes que moi.

Ja Ich sehe scrubs in deutsch, aber es ist nicht einfach Ich muss mein deutsch bessern vor die leaving cert, Ich wollen ein A1 in deutsch. Ich muss ausüben wit mein mündlich prüfung aber ich kann nicht sprechen in deutsch mit leuten Ich habe die deutsch CD vom mein prüfung papier in die Junior cert an mein ipod, es ist sehr gut aber mein deutsch ist weitherin slecht

Ya I watch scrubs in german, but it's not easy (to understand whats that in german haha?) I want an A1 in german as well, but i badly need to improve for my oral test, because I can't speak to people in german I have the german CD from the junior cert on my ipod, its handy to listen to, but my german is still crap

J'ai fait un compte (account(?)) sur le websit! C'est bon mais les exercises sont un peu ennuyeux parce que ils sont trop faciles!

Je voudrais parler avec toi en francais sur skype peut-etre, mais je ne suis pas trop sur parce que je ne parle pas le francais bien!

I just made an account on the website, It's good but the exercises are a little boring because they are too easy!

I would like to speak with you in french on skype perhaps, but I am not too sure as I do not speak french well!

Oui! Je suis la même dans ma classe a l'école, je suis une de la meilleure et je fais les examens bien mais ici, je ne suis pas bien. Je dois ameliorer mon orale. J'aime l'idée de "mulciber" - the Skype group. Voudrais-tu faire Le Skype?

Yes! I am the same in my class in school, I am one of the best and I do well in exams but here, I don't really do as well like with general conversation. I have to improve my French for the oral though, I like mulciber's idea of the Skype group. Would you like to do it too? Even another idea would be to speak over french in a Facebook group or something...in fact I think boards might have groups too.

PM me if you ever need a hand first of all!

Just got this yesterday for my LC- After reading through part of it, wow!

Will be of immense help to you.

http://www.folens.ie/catalog/book_detail2010.php?bookid=167&level=2&catid=110&parentid=&gs

If you could get your hands on a JC book, I'm sure it'd be of huge benefit to you.

Sorry for the massiveness of this, found it from another thread that I asked before.

Will write more another day, very busy. Es tut mir leid.

If you have an android phone this app is very useful for on the go grammar exercises,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ammatiktrainer

I would also take advantage of the ANKI flashcard app to build up your vocabulary, it really improved mine in a short period of time.

If you don't have an android based phone, I found this website also very good. There is an entire online interactive German course on there from the very basics(A1 level) to mastery(C2).


Edit - Should also mention, if your travelling abroad or want to watch movies/series. Try to stick to Hoch Deutsch specific locations. Some places like Voralberg here in Austria are so different in dialect that the TV stations will put subtitles on. Check this out:http://youtu.be/yMmWJpxydqs?t=3m8s

Dual language books my also be a help - Here is an example on google books: http://books.google.at/books?printse...page&q&f=false

Here is a link a good german paper - Die Zeit : http://www.zeit.de/index

Finally, the best investment I ever made was this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Easy.../dp/0007252781

It has every grammar term, rule and table and it explains in simple language how and why they are used.

Hope that helped, any more questions feel free to ask.
