Shouldn't it be "försöker", or is this one of those verbs that have two possible conjugations? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Tack för hjälpen.
The phrase "gå på kurs" is from textbook. So, I can not use på here or it is unnatural?
I looked up "Klausur" and got "att tanta - Klausuren schreiben". Can I use hittar or is har better? With "en tenta" as a noun: Jag har inte så mycket tid, på grund av tentor.

"gå på kurs" is an OK phrase in the general sense. Maybe it'll look better if you give me the example sentence(s) from your textbook, but right now it feels unnatural (unless you're saying "Jag går på kurs." and nothing more in that sentence).
'hittar' or 'har', it's still confusing. What is it that you can't find (or don't have)? Not that translating from German is the best thing, but if I can see your German way of thought, it might become a bit clearer. Ah, maybe you mean hinna->hinner?

G: Vad heter de?
S: De heter Peter och Ewa. Han heter Steiner i efternamn och hon heter Walesa. G: Och vem är det? S: Det är Veronika Berger. G: Känner ni varandra? R: Jag, det gör vi. Vi går på kurs tillsammans. hittar, har, hinner When I try to write something in Swedish, I translate a lot and the outcome is often difficult to understand. But practice makes perfect. I hope that the quantity will stop my translating. The German sentence in my mind was: "Ich hatte keine Zeit...", "Ich konnte keine Zeit finden ..." You could also say in German: "Ich habe es nicht geschafft ...", but I didn't come to mind during writing. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

OK, "Vi går på kurs (tillsammans)" a fairly general and neutral statement, so in this case I wouldn't react.
"Ich hatte keine Zeit" - Jag hade ingen tid (better: Jag hade inte tid) "Ich konnte keine Zeit finden" - Jag kunde inte hitta någon tid. Grammatically correct but somewhat implying that you were looking for a free spot during a certain period but couldn't find it, something like "I really should have called you last night but I couldn't find the time"/"Jag skulle verkligen ha ringt dig igår kväll men kunde inte hitta någon tid/lucka". "Ich habe es nicht geschafft" sounds like something that could be used as "Jag har inte hunnit det"/"Jag har inte fixat det"/"Jag har inte klarat det". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I wrote my university exams in February and March. I worked on an important assignment for university in April and had some health problems.
Okay, this sentence remind me of my school days. Like „Sorry, I couldn't do my homework.“ I have done my anki reviews and visited the class. For self-study and to get motivated again I signed up for 6-weeks-Challenge. My daily bedtime reading had totally changed from German to English. I have always the dictionary by my side. I still do my grammar exercises from time to time. I find it relaxing to do them. I know most students don't like it, but I do. Okay, but I liked also the Math assignments at school. But as you can see, to do grammar exercises doesn't mean you know the language. Igår läste jag en text om Tanums hällristningar. Texten är i lärobok för nybörjare. Texten handlar också om livet i bronsåldern. Jag lärde ett nytt tyskt ord. ”Schälchenmulde” på svenska ”en skålgropa”. Jag tror, jag behöver inte sådant ord. När du skriver ”Schälchenmulde” i Google, får du bara ett resultat. Edited by Mareike on 08 May 2013 at 10:42pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

We all get busy at times :-)
Perhaps you could do with italki or something like that to practice your writing, including the grammar, since the grammar exercises are of limited help to you now. What have you been reading? 1 person has voted this message useful |
