Description: Learning vocabulary using flashcards on Quizlet
Link: https://quizlet.com/152453895/lektion-4-food-drink-flash-cards/

I wanted to expand my vocabulary of food so I revised 'Lektion 4: food & drink' on the mltc German beginner's quizlet group. Using Quizlet is a really good way for me to remember new vocabulary, learn how to say it and also spell it. It is useful in the way that it remembers which words you find harder, and so tests you on them again until you get them right - this is especially important for remembering genders which I find a bit difficult.]]> 2016-10-26 15:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/133356598 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/133863818 Date: 28.10.16

I was finding the pronunciation of umlauts quite difficult so I decided to find a video on youtube that could help me. This video was very helpful because she gave English examples of the umlaut sounds which made it much easier to remember, and also demonstrated the sounds in both long and short forms.]]> 2016-10-28 12:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/133863818 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/134324521 Date: 31.10.16
Description: Revising and expanding family vocabulary
Link: http://www.learnalanguage.com/learn-german/german-words/family.php

I have recently learnt how to talk about my family during class and used this website to consolidate my knowledge and there were also a few new words that hadn't been covered. This was a good website because first it introduced all the vocabulary in a table, then went on to flashcards, then a multiple choice game and finally a spelling game. The flashcards and the two games had audio with it so I was able to improve my pronunciation at the same time.]]> 2016-10-31 18:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/134324521 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/136353340 Date: 9.11.16

I am still having a little trouble remembering how to pronounce all of the letters in the german alphabet, especially remembering the difference between 'e' and 'i', and also 'v' and 'w'. This video was good in that it had pauses so you could repeat the letters and perfect your pronunciation.]]> 2016-11-09 11:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/136353340 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/137137444 Date: 12.11.16
Description: Learning how to conjugate verbs with the different subjects
Link: http://www.deutschseite.de/grammatik/konjugation/konjugation.html

In a recent class, we started to learn more subjects and how to conjugate verbs. I haven't quite got my head around this so I used this webpage to help me remember which conjugations go with which subjects. It also went over some rules for the slightly irregular verbs such as arbiter and essen which was very useful. After going through this page and then the conjugation exercises at the bottom, I feel a lot more confident with verb conjugation.]]> 2016-11-12 15:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/137137444 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/139437537 Date: 22.11.16

Link 2: http://german.net/exercises/verbs/modal/

We were introduced to modal verbs in the last lesson, and I wanted to study and practice their conjugations. I used link 1 to learn the modal verbs we covered in class as well as 3 new ones - dürfen, sollen and möchten. There was also audio so I could hear how to pronounce each conjugation. I then used link 2 to help me practice conjugation and it also covered the sentence structure required when using modal verbs.]]> 2016-11-22 18:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/139437537 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/139926026 Date: 25.11.16

I am able to use the 24h clock with ease, and would like to use the 12h clock just as well. I used this website in order to help me do this. It provides very clear instructions and also audio clips of all the relevant phrases that are needed to tell the time whilst also improving my pronunciation.]]> 2016-11-25 17:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/139926026 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/142505134 Date: 8.12.16

I was having a lot of trouble over when it was appropriate to use the dative case and also a bit of trouble on how to use it, so I found this website which started with explaining the dative case and then went onto exercises using the dative case which I found very useful as the information I had just learnt could be put into practice. I am now much more confident about using the dative case.]]> 2016-12-08 10:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/bhzlv31znk7k/wish/142505134
