I took the lessons 1,2 & 3 of “Places 1” on Duolingo to help practice the vocabulary related to giving directions and locations within a town. It wasn’t too difficult as I could remember most of the key buildings. However the lessons helped to identify some plurals of buildings such as Bahnhöfe, Schulen etc. 

(Pronunciation) 

This video works really well for me because it aids with the pronunciation of a vast selection of vocabulary and the different sounds are very well explained. Though the voice in the video is a little annoying. Along side this video I recorded myself doing the exercises in the video comparing my pronunciation to theirs on the video. Which I found very helpful as I didn't realise that I was pronouncing some things incorrectly. Overall it was very useful as it was applicable to most of the vocabulary I've learned so far. I need to keep doing this progressively to see if I have improved.

(Attributive Adjective Endings)

Watching this video on germen adjective endings has been a massive help. Although I think this is something that I will always struggle with a little the system he uses is very helpful. He goes into detail on all cases, Nom, Acc, Dat and Gen. Although the Gen isn’t applicable yet the rest is perfect to help with the grammar of this particular subject. Though I will  need to keep practicing to increase my speed in working these out. 

(Dates and Travel) 

Practicing both dates and travel on duolingo complemented each other nicely in that I was able to practice the vocabulary of both in the context of a holiday. Practicing the grammar and sentence structure of times proved to be especially useful since I found it a little tricky to get my head around at first, especially on the prepositions. Thought the interactive nature of Duolingo has helped since I can practice this in a number of scenarios. 

(Dative Case) 

This was less of a video and more of an explained set of exercises which was very insightful when using the dative case. Since dative is the case which I have always struggled with most, having to refer back to the text book much more than for Acc and Nom cases. It was really good to consolidate my knowledge since I have always been a little shaky on dative grammar and prepositions.

(Perfect Tense) 

I was pleasantly surprised when learning perfect tense, since it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. So I have really enjoyed doing exercises and revising it. This exercise helped me to consolidate my knowledge on the subject, since it gives a very clear description of the sentence structure to use when using perfect tense. Along side the grammar I found it very useful to look over the irregular verbs that don't follow the rule, such as gegessen etc.

(Feelings and Emotions)

I found finding resources for this topic a little harder than the rest however I think these two in conjunction with each other worked really well for me as a revision aid. The rocket languages link helps with pronunciation and vocabulary as It has a lot of recorded phrases which you can play back. And the transparent blog explains the reasoning for the change in grammar and sentence structure when describing certain feelings. e.g Ich bin langweilig vs Mir ist langweilig.
