It contains difficult words' definitions in German (not always easy), a
 few exercises between each chapter and come with the audiobook version.]]> 2018-12-06 11:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311754794 ctcouderc https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311759109 I got a nice black diary where I store all the informations I picked about German by grammatical categories : adjectives, adverbs, nouns, verbs and so on... / or by use : ask a question, introduce yourself, proverbs... it's fourty pages long now and it's far from being finished !]]> 2018-12-06 12:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311759109 ctcouderc https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311762264 Or you can try to find articles in German on the internet. Good thing about the newspaper : it contains more pictures and advertising, and will give you a better idea of what German culture is like in case you've never been to Germany. Also, it comes every week so it won't consume too much of your free time.]]> 2018-12-06 12:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311762264 ctcouderc https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311764026 Good Bye Lenin is a famous German movie taking place in Berlin during the fall of the USSR. It's a poetic, politic, smart and entertaining movie. I watched it the first time with subtitles in English, a week later with German subtitles, and eventually without subtitles. It's a good exercise to make yourself familiar with an authentic german conversation between natives.]]> 2018-12-06 12:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311764026 ctcouderc https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311767174 Playing "Gravity" on Quizlet is a good way of spending time learning German without really noticing. The game could really be improved, especially the graphics, but it is quite entertaining anyway. I recommend playing roughly half an hour before going to bed or straight in the morning while enjoying a warm bowl of porridge. It doesn't take long and the game is designed to give the impression it's not repetitive. Extremely useful for vocabulary in my opinion !

It contains three tales written by the famous German story-tellers the Grimm brothers. I found it a bit harder than "Der Zwerg Nase" but still very good, with a varied vocabulary and extremely nice drawings. I definitely recommend these two books.]]> 2018-12-06 13:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311780307 ctcouderc https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311784598 I was looking for German music on the internet when I found this German rapper, not too bad, although it feels a bit strange at first to listen to rap music in a foreign language - but we get use to it. It's extremely hard to understand a full sentence but if I focus a bit I can identify, here and there, a word I know (extremely satisfying). I have also discovered an singer named Franz Josef Degenhardt who made some translated covers of a French Artist I like and I listen to it with great pleasure. I think it's a good way : find a German artist who covers your favorite songs in German and read the lyrics online !]]> 2018-12-06 13:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311784598 ctcouderc https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311791421 It's good to have a second Arbeitsbuch. Take it with you everywhere and take it out your bag whenever you have an opportunity. I have personally chosen an Assimil one for post-beginners because I find it really well made, with a few colours, a lot of exercises and explanations about German grammar. I found it quite useful to break the routine of the Arbeitsbuch we had to buy, which I find a bit plain and a bit too "functional" in my opinion.]]> 2018-12-06 13:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcouderc/9rqli67qlkxg/wish/311791421
