As we learned the informal way of telling the time, whenever i looked at the time, i would try to tell the time in German. It took me a while to get used to telling the time as for example "half four" in english is 4:30 where as "halb vier" in German is 3:30. I also practiced the 24-hour format which is simpler.

As the oral exam as well as the written exam is soon, i reviewed the feedback that i have obtained from the Essential Homework 1 and 2. I asked for opinions on how i wrote the essential homework and my german friend said that although it is understandable what i am trying to portray, positions and placement of words were the common mistakes i made. I further practiced writing to reduce the mistakes while also to improve my grammar.

Numbers

Watched a german video about the numbers. I practiced with my friend where we would only speak numbers in German in order to accustomised with the words as it takes a while to get used to especially after 20.

Family and possession
I learned new words such as die Schwester, der Bruder, die Stiefmutter and der Vater. i also practiced how to introduce my family members to my friends as i feel like it is an important conversation skill and also as a polite gesture.

also, i practiced the Direct, indirect and possesive cases such as dem, einem, meinem, seinem, unserem eurem and ihrem. i also tried to memorise the words for the Feminine, Neutral and Plural variations.

I learned the comparative;  gern, lieber and  am liebsten. I practiced by speaking to my german friend about the things i like. i made a sentence on the things i like. To get further practice, i added things i like more and like the most. For example, "ich gehe gern spazieren aber ich fahre lieber" (i like walking but i prefer cycling

I learned the many furnitures and rooms in the house such as der Balkon, das Schlafzimmer, der Stuhl, der Sessel and das Regal. I tried to make it a habit to think of the room name in german in my head whenever i enter a room. Besides that, at home whenever i use an item in the kitchen or bedroom, i try to recall the german word for it. This is useful as it makes me remember the gender of the item itself.

I also studied the script that was given during the lab session. The script was on ordering food in a restaurant. As i feel that learning to order food is one of the basic necessities thus i felt it was important to know how to order food. I've also been planning on visiting Germany and this skill would prove to be very useful once i'm there.

I learned new cases which were the Accusative and Nominative. I watched a video that further explains the accusative and nominative cases as i had trouble understanding in class

Besides that, I also did the formative test. This helps me in recalling the topics i have learned as it functions as a revision. As the Formative tests can be taken as many times as possible, i tried to re-take the test until full marks was achieved.

I practiced my pronunciation with quizlet. Quizlet is great especially the flash cards and mini games that are available. I practiced verbs, nouns, pronouns, and phrases. I loved the "Match" mini game and I managed to score the highest score at one point.
I also practiced the flash cards that are available on quizlet which saves me time from making my own flashcards.

As we did not learn much yet, i practiced introducing myself to my German friends and they would correct me in terms of pronunciation especially Ich, heisst, kommst and wohnst.
I would also practice by asking my friends their name, origin, where they live (in German of course).
