How to improve my German (in one month)
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:38 pm
Hi.
I want to improve my German during one month from now untill middle of september. My German is probably around B2 level. I thought I can get some ideas from others here, and also document what I do.
My goals are:
- improve listening skills
- improve speaking skills, especially pronunciation and prosody and flow
- general improvement
I thought this is what I will do, for maybe 1-2 hours every day.
Listening:
- Listen to german radio. WDR5 has a lot of interesting programs as podcasts
- Watch german TV or youtube, as entertainment instead of doing this in Norwegian or English
- More intensive or active listening exercises if I can find some good websites that has both audio and a transcript. Any suggestions?
Speaking, pronunciation:
This is the most stressfull for me to practice. But I want to practice to get a more natural German accent.
- Find a good source with audio and transcription and imitate a native speaker, recording myself and comparing it to the original.
General:
- I have one book I want to read. This will be enjoyable, and it will also augment my vocabulary.
- I forgot: I will also use Anki and will add words that I come across and want to learn.
edited in: And what's more, writing the log in German is good practice for me.
