Title: I'm Scared... :(
Post by: xox.happy1.xox on October 05, 2008, 09:20:49 pm
I haven't studied for my Italian Oral, and it's only 4 days away. Is cramming really the way to go? Are there any good sites which could be recommended so I can learn Italian quicker and improve my vocabulary? I don't want to fail it. :P

Aww you poor thing, I was in the same boat last year. If cramming works for you, then go for it. It works for me. 2 of our German teachers are current oral examiners, so they got together and compiled a list of most likely asked questions. So last year I had pages and pages of prepared answers and I just memorised it all a day before the oral. Must've worked cos I got A+ for it.

HOWEVER: I'm not endorsing this method. You are far more likely to achieve a good result by consistent work. This is just advice for people like happy and myself who left it til the last minute :D

Oh la la la la pauvre, j'étais dans le même bateau l'année dernière. Si tu potasses et ça marche, allez-y. ça marche pour moi. Deux de nos professeurs courants examinateurs de l'oral, alors ils ont travaillé ensemble pour créer une liste de questions communes. Donc l'année dernière j'avais des pages de réponses préparés et je les ai mémorisé un jour avant l'oral. ça marché car j'ai reçu un A+.

POURTANT: je n'avalise pas du tout ce mode. tu réussiras si tu travail tres dur. ce juste un conseil pour les gens comme 'happy' et moi qui l'ont lassé jusqu'à la dernière minute.
