For this entry of ISR, I decided to practice questions and prepositions in dative. To start with, I watched a video from the first link. I found it helpful because it explained how prepositions work in English, so later on it was easier to understand how they are applied in German. Moreover, the video helped me to get the difference in usage of prepositions with different genders. Finally, I learnt some new prepositions such as ''gegenuber'' or ''ausser''. In order to practice asking questions with dative and to practice the difference in asking questions about live things and objects, I had a call with my German-speaking friend. It was very exciting because I was able to practice the knowledge from the last class - I asked questions about the weather, about where his city is located, and we also talked about our travelling plans and ideas. I find this approach very useful as it's the most practical and helpful, as I am directly engaging with the language and engage in informal atmosphere, so remembering goes much easier.

For this entry I decided to train the skills I acquired during the session 10 - travelling vocabulary, the pronoun ''man'' and connection of the sentences. First of all, I watched a video from the first link - there a presenter was interviewing a guy who is making a World trip. It was very exciting because I am keen on travelling and his stories from small islands or travelling tips were very interesting. If talking about the language, it was amazing - it is quite simple and I was able to understand a lot and practise some vocab which I learnt during classes. In addition, the subs helped to learn some new useful words such as: Reisetipps (travel tips), die Insel (island), Reisesteckern (travel adapters) and many others. In order to practise ''man'' and how to connect sentences, I decided that there is nothing better than practising, so I called my German-speaking friend and we just had a conversation - it was useful - we talked about our favourite travel destinations and places we want to visit (practising of travelling vocabulary + using of denn). Then we were talking about what we are doing quarantine (connecting sentences + Wohnung vocabulary + perfect tense). I found this entry very useful and exciting - I practised my listening and speaking skills, learnt some new words and structures, found some interesting information about travelling.

For this entry I decided to practice verbs with the dative and dative pronouns because it's the topic which I do not really understand. First of all, I decided just to revise and try to remember/understand the dative pronouns in general. The video from the first link helped me with that. It was very clear and straightforward because the speaker showed the table where nominative case was opposed to dative, and the example were shown, so that I could understand the difference and importance/meaning of the pronouns straightaway. Then, in order to get an understanding of how verbs with dative are used, I watched a video from the second link. It was awesome because not only it explained the principle of how verbs work with dative but also shown the example of important verbs useful for real life, such as: fehlen, gefallen, glauben and others. I found this entry very helpful because I finally managed to get a clear understanding about dative case in my head, and also I learnt which verbs always require dative.

In this entry I decided to practice clothing related vocabulary + learn some colours, as I realised that I don't really know them. First of all, I watched a video from the first link in order to get a better understanding of different clothing items. I found it quite interesting as I learnt some new words such as: der Gürtel, der Büstenhalter, die Handschuhe. In addition, this video was helpful as the presenter was actually showing and explaining what different things are used for, so I could learn some context words and phrases. Finally, this video helped with pronunciation of some difficult words. Then I moved to the video from the second link. It was quite exciting and educating to watch as in this video I was basically listening to German-speaking people talking about their clothes, their features etc. It was helpful as I saw how German actually works, how people speak about clothes, and I practised my knowledge from the previous video and understanding by practising my listening in German. Finally, I watched the video about colours from the third link. It was a useful video, simply because I learnt something new. I was able to practice my pronunciation of Umlaut sounds while saying the colours and I understood how certain sounds appear. Finally, it was an exercise at the end where the presenter was showing different items and I should name the colour. By doing that I kind of practiced the knowledge which I got in this video and also remembered it a bit better.

In this record I decided to practice the perfect tense in order to better understand how
to talk about things happened in the past. First of all, I watched a video lesson from the first link - it was very useful. It help me to understand the formality of this tense and where it is used. In addition, I learnt who to form questions asking about the past. Moreover, I saw an unusual usage of a Modal Verb, so I found a question which I want to ask my teacher. Finally, it was an exercise which helped me to practice the usage of perfect this tense. Then, I practised the knowledge I got with Padlet exercises available on Mole. I used flashcard mode as it helped to learn things better, and I was able to return to practising a few times during the week. Finally, I chatted with my German-speaking friend in German for a while, and we were talking about last films we watched, what we were doing during the quarantine. I found this extremely useful as it was an informal atmosphere, so I wasn't afraid to make mistakes and my friend helped me to correct myself. In addition, I practised my speaking, and I found that particularly useful as in the meantime you hardly can talk to anyone, so you can't develop your speaking.

For my third entry, I decided to practice and increase my knowledge about usage of modal verbs "durfen" and ''sollen''. First link helped a lot with ''durfen'' - not only it was explaining the meaning and conjugation of the verb but also it provided a lot of examples as well as a few exercises to practice the usage (there were also tricky questions with exceptions to the rules) of it. In addition, there were examples and explanations about how to say ''must not'' in German and how to structure sentences with it. A video from the second link was explaining the verb ''should'' - ''sollen''. It helped me to understand the grammar rules, conjugation and also explained a very important thing - how to build W-frage and Ja-nein frage with usage of the verb ''sollen''. The final exercise was wise and helped me to test my knowledge and understanding of the verb. I found this entry very useful as it helped me to be confident with these modal verbs

For my second entry I decided to practice different medical/doctors related terms as it's essential to understand how to talk about health problems. First of all, I watched a video from the first link. It was useful because it explained which services are responsible for which cases - difference between der Rettungsdienst and Notfalldienst. Also, it just helped with extending the vocabulary regarding to different pains (Zahnschmerzen, Halsschmerzen, Bauchschmerzen), health problems (schnupfen, Fieber, Durchfall) . In addition I learnt how to build sentences ending with ''tut mir weh'' and what to ask in a pharmacy. After learning all of that, I decided to be a little bit adventurous and went to the second link to watch episodes from Dr.House series in German. It helped me a lot - I practised my listening skills, recognised some phrases and sentences which I learnt and tried to smartly guess meanings of certain phrases. In general, this entry was very productive - I feel that my vocabulary about health actually increased, and I can talk about health in German quite freely.

For my first entry, I decided to practice a theme which wasn't very clear to me - using of prepositions and datives cases. First of all, I watched the video from the first link - it was very helpful, as it was some theory explanation in the beginning which helped to understand how sentences should be built when prepositions are used. In addition, it helped with transformation of the articles when dative cases appear. + it had some examples of how prepositions in dative are used. Second video also helped me a lot - it got some other examples and prepositions, such as ausser. But this video was helpful for another reason - it has a song at the end which helps to remember the prepositions. I found it helpful, as I remember things better when I listen to them as a song.
