Thread: I have got ONE DAY to revise for my German Oral exam for AS? WTF do I do?

I've hardly done ANYTHING because I was on holiday having a life over Easter?

How d'you revise vocab? I can write dialogues and stuff just fine, it's the actual knowing of the words I need to do.

Hilf mich bitte!

I've got one day until my maths exam and I'm not ready.

As for you, this is what my french teacher said to do. Write down the words you need, both in english and german. Write them in a list. English on one side and German on the other.

Then read over it, then cover the German side and try to remember what it is.

Not very good advice but there is a lot of useful sites to help.

It is actually quite useful for single-word translations, I use it all the time for French class. Just don't give it sentences, as it doesn't translate properly.

I use this german dictionary all the time..

i hope this helps somehow

You mean "Hilf mir, bitte." Don't forget your dative case. Actually, since you don't necessarily know us, "Helfen Sie mir, bitte," might be the correct way.

Remember TEMPO for word order.

Time the verb is happening
E doesn't stand for anything.
Manner in which the verb is happening
Place at which the verb is happening.
O doesn't stand for anything.

In that order. It'll sound much more intelligent if you order it correctly.

Don't lose points off of bad conjugations, wrong forms, word order. Try to know what you'll need to say and remember the words involved in saying it. Get your endings right. That's my advice.

Oh, and for vocab: If you can, make flashcards, and write German on one side and English on the other. Make sure you have the der, die or das included, plus the plural form. My German teacher color codes: red/pink for feminine, blue for masculine and purple for neuter.

That's my DE-EN dictionary of choice.

Mach spass mit deinem Examen. Viel Glueck.

I suggest you polish up your oral skills.

How to revise vocab? Remember how to say/spell the word, and the definition...

SIMPLE memorization... kids under 10 can do this. (supposed to be easier for them, that's bs)

You can PM me or add me in msn or icq if you want.
