Checking the video in the Teacher's padlet to practice

I feel this (chapter 44) is way too advanced for me, therefore I will look into the other episodes  

Also studying power point presentation in MOLE https://vle.shef.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/pid-2617780-dt-content-rid-5584476_1/courses/MLT105A.A.176779/02_class_MOLE.pdf

I was finally able to buy the glorious book. I am listening to the audios in unit 1 and reading the charts: Mehr wissen: über die deutschsprachigen Länder, Mehr wissen: über Studienfächer (School subject vocabulary),
Mehr wissen: über Berufe (job vocabulary)

Watching more "Deutsch für Euch (episodes 1-5)

Also doing Quizlet: 
Lektion 1 - Places & Nationalities]]> 2016-10-15 14:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/130916343 Apps and videos m_signorelli https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/134271950 I completed the first and second section of Duolingo course in German. It has been truly helpful and I have learnt tons of vocabulary. 

I also downloaded three other apps that I use to learn random words. iLang's German does categories of vocabulary (animals, car, city) and has modalities to quiz, to listen, to spell, meaning and everything. It has been very useful for vocabulary of the every day.

I also use Codegent's Learn German. It is targeted to people that visit or will visit Germany. Teaches greetings and general conversations, transport and asking for directions. 

Mondly supposedly is specialized in memory, it has the option to listen to conversations in restaurants for example. It is useful but I acquired it recently so I am not sure how much has helped me.

 I look for things while I'm on the bus or something. They are useful but I should keep a record of the things I learn on the go, they are harder to remember.

Also I am in episode 32 of Deutsch für Euch. It is really useful to have someone teaching me that I can rewind.

Therefore I finally did several charts with more organized notes to learn the Vokabeln of the book and Completed the Quizlet Unit on Nationalities. It was extremely useful to remember for example the nationalities that I use less, like Chinese or Welsh or Danish. Danish specifically has resulted in a challenge in Quizlet, possibly because it is not in the book and I am still confused in the "The Danish" vs "Danish man/woman", etc. 

Anyway, my conclusion from this exhaustive study session is that I need to do this a couple of times every week because I there is tons of Vocabulary that I just don't know and, I need to know the forgein words to speak the forgein language.

This song is what I needed and now I can actually learn this by heart. It is always scary everytime I study because I realize that I actually don't know anything.

I know the Nominativ and Akkusativ were seen in the class I missed, so I'm keeping up. The Nominativ is almost straightforward but it is hard learning the cases when explained in English because English has THE, A/N, and that's pretty much it. I haven't looked much for resources in Spanish for learning German, but there is nothing in Twinkle and I have to keep  ]]> 2016-11-04 14:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/135387608 Duolingo m_signorelli https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142701444 I started Duolingo to complement my German Studies. It proves fruitful because I have broaden my vocabulary, however it is still not too helpful in learning to articulate sentences. 
I've done it everyday since I began on the day following the first class.

I spent most of my shift at work rewriting this to get it in my head. I understand it in theory and recognize it but I need to work more to be able to identify it from a text. ]]> 2016-12-08 23:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142702666 Last year exam m_signorelli https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142702846 I did the exam of last year and I felt better than what I expected. I will ask a German speaker from work to help me correct the tricky bit of the paragraph of the house (I put the bathroom in the smallest space to the right of the flat). She will not read my text though, because it is too embarrassing. I am glad that we were given a similar task for the EH2 ]]> 2016-12-08 23:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142702846 https://hueber.de/media/36/msn-a1-grammatik-uebersicht.pdf m_signorelli https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142703065 This summaries of the cases and the articles are what I need. It helps having different ways of grouping information when it is so different and similar at the same time. I printed a few tables and I am copying them to learn them. ]]> 2016-12-08 23:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142703065 Quizlet m_signorelli https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142767137 I finished lessons 1 and 2 in Quizlet. It is a useful and fun way of challenging myself. The games are fun and I have improved my spelling and the use of articles der das die, which still proves very challenging. ]]> 2016-12-09 12:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/m_signorelli/germanstudies/wish/142767137
