How To Improve My German For LC?

beccaroisinxo

I'm going into 6th year and figured that some study is in order especially with German. I got a C3 in HL for my summer test. Although I could of put in much more effort I want at least a B2/3 in the LC so I need to improve my general standard in the language. I really hope this is achievable.. Is there any way in which I can improve my vocab to help the reading comps/listening&letter? Also I find all the different types of verbs confusing.. Is there anyway of simplifying these? Thanks guys

Listen to German Internet radio stations.

I've seen a fair few of our linguistically inclined people mention Duolingo (online) as a fun way of improving vocab etc.

Just immerse yourself into the German language and culture online. Join German message boards or start to follow/subscribe to Germans on social media (especially the likes of Twitter and Tumblr as you'll constantly be reading German, thus learning new vocab!) Start listening to German musicians, my favourite at the moment is Cro and there are plenty more. It helps with pronunciation but it also forces you listen to it quickly and actually having to understand it. With this I went from 66% with an OL Listening exam at Christmas to 88% at Summer for a HL tape tape!

I also recommend reading Ard online because you can just keep up with what interests you (Sport, music, technology etc) but in German. Easier to learn something if you're interested in it!
