Good morning!

Only a half of my German course is left – time flies really fast. The intesive course really means so as it always keeps you ‚German fit‘ and in tonus what I like the most. During our effective classes we cover all important aspects of the language – grammar, reading, speaking and listening. The first two I personally prefer more for the reason that they are just easier for me to be implemented, however, the complex impact is very important, so I continue to work over the last two components.

I bet you know that feeling when the lesson is over and you feel like you can perfectly communicate using German language, however, in the morning your confidence begins to fluctuate a little bit. That is why usually I try to do the tasks in the evening after classes, however, as they end quite late more time is necessary to cover all the learned material. Thus, the day after I start with the check of the completed homework and new words translation. To my mind the crucial thing is to learn new words in a timely manner. I use collinsdictionary.com or lingvolive.com to translate the word, de-online.ru/ to clarify grammar rules (for Russian people) and www.linguee.de to check correctness of word collocations. Then I write up every word into a special notebook and start memorizing them. At the end of the week I repeat all words I’ve learned to keep them all in my memory. However, stay critical while starting learning new words and evaluate their need in the future.

It is better for me to do the homework at home as I have a special working place and motivators for that, nevertheless, many students prefer libraries or cafes.

I’d like to try these options too, but usually postpone this from day to day 🙂

Have a nice time with German and stay prepared!

Best wishes,

Anna
