    Oui je voudrais la faire. Je n'ai pas Skype maintenant Mais j'espere que je l'aurai. J'ai une probleme: j'espere que personne ne me connaitre. J'aimerais Facebook ou Boards aussi.
    Yes I would love it. I don't have Skype yet but hopefully I'll get it soon if I can (don't use the laptop much). I have a problem though, I just hope nobody knows me on it! I'd also like a Facebook or boards group maybe. Apologies for te awful French :P

    Je t'ai envoyé une PM. J'espere que tu auras Skype! Et je pense que Le groupe Facebook/boards serait une bonne idée aussi! :)
    I sent you a PM. I hope that you will get Skype. And I think that the Facebook/boards group would be a good idea too.

    Mir geht's (geht es), like 'it's' and 'it is' in English) gut, danke. Und du?

    PM me if you ever need a hand first of all! :D

    Just got this yesterday for my LC- After reading through part of it, wow!

    Will be of immense help to you. :)

    If you could get your hands on a JC book, I'm sure it'd be of huge benefit to you.

    Sorry for the massiveness of this, found it from another thread that I asked before. :D

    Will write more another day, very busy. Es tut mir leid.

I looked at the exam tonight and it really didn't look too difficult last year, just make sure you know your grammar rules inside out(I wrote them all out and stuck them to the wall in front of me where my computer is).

    If you have an android phone this app is very useful for on the go grammar exercises,

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ammatiktrainer

    I would also take advantage of the ANKI flashcard app to build up your vocabulary, it really improved mine in a short period of time.

    If you don't have an android based phone, I found this website also very good. There is an entire online interactive German course on there from the very basics(A1 level) to mastery(C2).


    Edit - Should also mention, if your travelling abroad or want to watch movies/series. Try to stick to Hoch Deutsch specific locations. Some places like Voralberg here in Austria are so different in dialect that the TV stations will put subtitles on. Check this out:http://youtu.be/yMmWJpxydqs?t=3m8s

    Dual language books my also be a help - Here is an example on google books: http://books.google.at/books?printse...page&q&f=false

    Here is a link a good german paper - Die Zeit : http://www.zeit.de/index

    Finally, the best investment I ever made was this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Easy.../dp/0007252781

    It has every grammar term, rule and table and it explains in simple language how and why they are used.

    Hope that helped, any more questions feel free to ask.
