I was using the free app even from before starting the MLT105. I continued using it on occasion, spending some 15-30 minutes a week in this app.

From the learning perspective I think it helped me learn more vocab than the one in class. Of course some of the vocab repeated itself which means I've consolidated it.

It is hard to quantify how long I've been using it for but considering the level I got to I can definitely say that probably more than 5 hours.]]> 2017-10-25 10:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/200334811 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/213616390 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwegPHTG4gvnR0WLzaq5OQ

This Youtube channel was pretty useful throughout the course. Ania structured most of her lessons so it follows what we actually learn in class.

It's a fun way to consolidate the knowledge from class and also hear the pronunciation from a different person other than the teaching staff.

I'll add separate activities based on this youtube channel as some lessons are quite long.]]> 2017-12-06 09:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/213616390 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/213618390 Beth is a colleague from my part-time job and she agreed to meet me and have a chat in German. I was basically introducing myself and telling her about my family, a typical week and what I do in my free time.

Great speaking exercise with somebody who is level B2 in German and has lived in Germany briefly. ]]> 2017-12-06 09:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/213618390 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/213621688 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFYZJQs68JA

this six-part lesson played an essential role in my understanding of Dativ case. this is because I was away whilst it was taught so couldn't attend the classes.]]> 2017-12-06 09:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/213621688 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214523158 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuXxNSj_y5w

a five part youtube lesson on accusative case.

Especially useful as in the final part of the lesson Ania introduced adjective endings for the accusative part. ]]> 2017-12-08 15:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214523158 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214523805 Among other duolingo lessons I found this one particularly useful as I've learnt the words for the most common animals including pets. ]]> 2017-12-08 15:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214523805 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214524463 I've been using quizlet regularly to try to learn vocabulary. Useful most of the time.

Sometimes I'd play the audio recordings of Vocab. from the text book whilst doing other work.]]> 2017-12-08 15:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214524463 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214525528 Tynicards is the compimentary app to Duolingo. Useful for learning vocabulary. I have used it on several occasions. ]]> 2017-12-08 15:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214525528 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214531417 https://www.memrise.com

Useful tool for vocab aquisition but also for spelling and speaking. I liked in particular that to consider that you've learnt a word you had to hear it, recognise it in a sentence, know its meaning and also spell it right! The spelling was particularly useful as some words are trickier than others.]]> 2017-12-08 15:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214531417 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214532599 In preparation for the oral exam we will meet and ask her to go through typical A1 exam type questions that we were also given in Lab session. ]]> 2017-12-08 15:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214532599 rmapetrei1 https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214533941 https://www.dict.cc/

It took me a while to find this one but it's probably the most useful dictionary I could find. I needed it mostly for the gender of the nouns as it seems it's quite difficult for me to remember. ]]> 2017-12-08 15:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rmapetrei1/mltc105/wish/214533941
