Description: Revising the construction of the perfect tense
Link 1: https://deutsch.lingolia.com/en/grammar/tenses/present-perfect
Link 2: https://deutsch.lingolia.com/en/grammar/tenses/present-perfect/exercises

I used these two links to revise when and how to use the perfect tense. The first link helped me to learn how to construct the perfect tense, with clear instructions about the past participle and when to use 'sein' and 'haben'. It also highlighted irregular verbs such as gehen, where the past participle is gegangen. I then used the second link which which was a mixed exercise using both sein and haben and also a range of different pronouns to test myself.]]> 2017-04-18 13:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/166751571 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/167028249 Date: 19.04.17
Description: Going over learned vocabulary for clothes
Link: https://www.germanveryeasy.com/clothing

After learning the vocabulary for clothes, this website was very useful for revision as it had several new items of clothing that had not been covered during class such as 'die Stiefel' which is boots and 'die Handschuhe' which is gloves. Each word had an audio option as well, so I was able to revise pronunciation too.]]> 2017-04-19 14:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/167028249 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/167369326 Date: 20.04.17

This website was very useful when trying to work out which adjective endings should be used at the appropriate time. It made the distinction between much clearer and after going through the exercises at the bottom of the page, I now feel much more confident about using the correct adjective endings.]]> 2017-04-20 19:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/167369326 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/167626563 Date: 22.04.17

This youtube video was incredibly helpful for learning how to say the date in German. It had pauses so I was able to repeat what I'd heard and it was also followed by some exercises where I had to translate from english to german and then from german to english. Translating from german to english was a bit harder as my listening skills are a bit weaker, but I felt that I still understood everything.]]> 2017-04-22 14:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/167626563 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/168687271 Date: 27.04.17

I was struggling the other day in class to form the imperative so I decided to find a good website that will help me remember how to do it properly. The website (link 1) I found was useful because it covered all the pronouns that you would come across when using the imperative and it gave examples that showed the difference between all the endings. This was then followed by some exercises (link 2) which helped to consolidate my knowledge.]]> 2017-04-27 16:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/168687271 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/170592419 Date: 08.05.17
Description: Revising vocabulary for parts of the body and learning some new words
Link: https://www.memrise.com/course/313/body-parts/

I've used Memrise before and I find it a really good way to learn vocabulary because you can associate the words with various photos, giving it a more visual learning approach. It then goes over spelling and pronunciation at the same time which is very useful.
New words I learnt include:
die Haut = skin
die Schulter = shoulder
der Zahn = tooth]]> 2017-05-08 18:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/170592419 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/171049620 Date: 10.05.17
Description: Learning different emotions

We briefly went over emotions in one of the labs so I decided to revise this section a bit further, as I feel it is useful in everyday conversations. This video first covered the different emotions and then went on to use them with different pronouns. A new emotion I learnt is 'aufgeregt' which means excited. Watching this video helped me with my pronunciation too.]]> 2017-05-10 15:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/171049620 tmiles11 https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/171055871 Date: 10.05.17

As this was on of the first things we covered this semester, I have forgotten a lot of this and so, decided to remind myself of the key phrases used when understanding directions. I came across a few new things: 
weitergehen = to keep going
Wie weit ist es? = How far is it?
This video went over things quite fast, so this was more of a quick refresh and I referred to my notes while watching the video.]]> 2017-05-10 16:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiles11/uvkodm063077/wish/171055871
