Why not just do some reading? I found this a great way of building up vocabulary. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm too afraid to do this :D
Well, to be serious, reading requires a lot of work from my side: looking up words (and my phone can do that only for English at the moment - if we're talking sort of pop-up dictionary, any other way takes a lot of time), cracking the grammar (and I don't know enough of it I think). Plus I am still reading The Silkworm, hate to read a pile of books at once and have a looong waiting list. But nevertheless I am gonna begin new crazy project involving German, Swedish and English as soon as I have read The Silkworm and passed my exams. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sounds reasonable. I just don't know any other way of really building up vocabulary/grammar efficiently. I guess it depends what level you want to get to: I've always been aiming for +C2 in German; but if you wanted only A2/B1 German reading would be over-kill. I think you can perhaps get to B2, but not high B2, without doing much reading - but if you are aiming for >B2 then reading earlier is more efficient in the long run. But of course, life has a way of limiting what is possible. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well my primary target is reading, and I like German so much I want to improve it all the time, even if I'm C2
and beyond. Eventually I am going to read a lot, right now it's a bit complicated. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Try to look for some books on Amazon, nowadays I think it's possible to read the first
few pages before buying it. If you like the intro, then go for it, because if you liked the intro then the language is probably accessible to you ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Nah, as a pirate I have access to loads of books already, and at the moment all I could cope with was:
- Harry Potter - a few Stefan Zweig's novellas - a part of Jane Austen's Überredung (aka Persuasion) Plus, like I mentioned above, I'm hungry to start a big L-R project with Millennium trilogy: 1) Eng text + Ger audio 2) Ger text + Swe audio I can't really begin now, though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The exam was sooo tiring I can't even do any Swedish, I can tolerate this amount of mistakes even in order to complete a lesson. I have only managed to watch Spies of Warsaw before I fell asleep in the evening.
Some of you might have already figured out I am a hopeless dreamer. So I was told (not verbally) today when I've asked a teacher if I can get any knowledge that would be useful for waste recycling (yup, he works in a different uni actually). He told me I have no chance to find anyone in the whole town. Well I had no doubt that I should get out anyway. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Actually Amazon has a full money back guarantee on ebooks for two weeks after purchase. So if you don't like what you have bought you can always return it. 1 person has voted this message useful |
