Get a few ole idioms into the letter and you're sorted, examiners go mad for them apparently. Ich drücke dir die Daumen and all that :pac:

What's everyone learning? Just the usual holidays/school/college/hometown stuff?

Gonna start listening to german cds again having neglected it for a while, maybe some tagesschau news.. don't really know where to start for the written stuff to be honest. Angewandte Grammatik predictions?

Hmm, good idea, may learn a few off, they'll come in handy if I do the letter.

Yeah, a lot of the oral vocab, but also vocab for the kinda topical things that come up now and again, Rauchen, Alkohol und Drogen, Rassismus, Umweltverscmutzung, das Internet... all the usual stuff :pac:

Would be nice if they asked Relative Pronouns in the Angewandte Grammatik, they haven't come up for a while.

TorpidCat

I'm just wondering, what's the exact list of topics that can come up for the grammar?

So, what are people predicting for the letter? There's a new Chief Examiner this year!

Actually, relative pronouns came up in 2011.

Oh yeah... I was on about the ones where the relative pronouns are left blank and you have to fill them in yourself :P

Anyone think Komposita/Composite nouns are a likely question for A.G.?

Lesen sie jetzt bitte die Fragen zu Teil... EINS
Speaking of which, our German teacher told us that this year is the anniversary of some sort of really popular German cartoon thingies that have been on their main channel for 50 or 75 years or something that appear at the start and end of every ad-break (Like the E4 E-stings sorta)
She said that it's exactly the kind of thing they'd put onto Section 4 of tape.
Though.. predicting tapework is really kinda stupid :pac:

One of the better exams for me but all the German has been crammed ou of me from the last week of cramming for exams, really hope I get a B2\B3 in this.

The Man They Couldnt

I'm completely neglecting the Grammar sections, It's always been a guessing game to me. I hope for comprehensions I can actually understand fully (for a change) and a nice Letter and Äußerung zum Thema. I also hope to impress the corrector with my unrivaled knowledge of German soccer and the city of Cologne...

Viele glück...

Not enough knowledge if you're referring to football/fußball as "soccer" :P
