Ik geef toe dat ik in feite deed Gebruik Google Translate eerder.

Nee, ik spreek geen Duits, maar de Nederlandse plaats.

Indo - no way.
Dutch - very cool. Just sounds like German but with a bit of a cheerful lilt.
Jap, Mandarin - I find character languages completely confusing. Don't ask me.
Spanish is very you. Go for that. You'd love South America too!
Yiddish is totally awesome but not very useful. Especially as it's a mixture of two languages that I'm familiar with!

Practise your grammar.

Start a vocabulary book - read German news etc. and write down any interesting vocab you come across. Read through the vocab every night before you go to bed. It's important to have a wide vocabulary

Also listen to Deutsche Welle's Langsam Gesprochene Nachrichten podcast (through itunes is easiest) as often as possible.

I'll do that, thanks for the advice!
Well done on all your scores too btw!
How did you manage a 50 in German!? That's awesome!
:)

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised myself!
Work together - you'll notice another Scotch guy got 49 in German; I think I'd be safe in saying that neither of us would have done so well without each other; and the whole class worked incredibly well as a team (for example about 8 of us came to my place in September and we ran practice oral exams for each other which was really good, I thought) and most of them ended up with low 40s / high 30s. I also went on a 10 week exchange to Detuschland and had two awesome host brothers and a host family which helped a lot with my German. However, nothing is more accurate than "übung macht den Meister!" :)

Gute Idee...vielleicht soll ich versuchen, mit meinen Klassenkameraden in meinem Haus muendliche Pruefungen zu machen! Jedoch wohne ich so weit weg von der Schule...

Ich schlage vor, dass ihr Brieffreunde findet. Dieses Jahr habe ich einige Brieffreunde gefunden, und wir haben viele Emails geschrieben. Wir haben auch auf FB gechattet; ihr koennt seinen Eltern sagen, dass ihr euer Deutsch uebt, wenn sie euch fragen, warum ihr auf FB seid, anstatt zu lernen!

Seitdem ich diese Brieffreunde gefunden hat, haben meine Deutschnoten viel zugenommen!

Ich hoffe, dass meine Saetze richtig sind!

*ihr könnt euren Eltern sagen...
Ich glaube "zunehmen" geht nicht mit Noten - ich hätte "sich verbessern" benutzt...
Mein letzter Vorschlag ist: die Grundlagen der deutschen Sprache sind am wichtigsten, wenn man Erfolg sucht!

Well, when I come back (because i'm actually overseas atm), I will hopefully learn 100+ words before school begins and hopefully find some useful grammar notes on the net because half the time grammar is rushed so you don't have much of a background on it
