Und natuerlich konntest du Deutsch hier ueben, wenn du willst! Es gibt leider kaum jemand hier die Deutsch studiert hat, aber ich werde versuchen, dir zu helfen :) (sorry can't be bothered doing Umlauts hah)

Ja das stimmt, aber ich spreche gern Deutsch! 

OP: Nina hat mich auch fuer Deutsch geholfen, als ich in der zwoelfte Klasse war.  ;)

Oh another thing with vocabulary - one of the girls I studied with in Germany had the most amazingly extensive vocabulary ever, she was like a walking dictionary. Once for whatever bizarre reason I needed to know the word for asparagus and she knew it. (For the record it is der Spargel. You're welcome. Use it in an oral SAC, I dare you)

I asked her what her secret was and it was simple - every week she learned 100 new words and every month she tested herself on all the new words she had learned to make sure she never forgot them.

100/week is probably leaning on the side of excessive for VCE level, but find a number that suits your study score goals and time constraints, and stick to it!

I'm not German and don't know German at all. But I can share my strategy when I came to Australia with no English background and learned the basics in a short amount of time.

Grammar: I used to find small paragraphs and translate them from English to Turkish or the other way around. This tactic improved not only my grammar knowledge, but also taught me how to write consistently.

Listening and speaking: You should watch German movies with subtitles first. Then remove subtitles and watch it again..Test your understanding!

Vocabulary: Try to expand your vocabulary as much as you can... Ask yourself what you have learned in the morning before going to bed.

Wow! Thanks all, Ich finde es wunderbar, dass es hier viele Deutsche Schülern gibt  :D

All great tips! I definitely should be writing more texts, and I could do with a bigger vocabulary. When I'm writing, I spend a lot of time finding good words to use.
Atm, I use Language Perfect for my vocab, the school makes us subscribe but you can use it for any language.

Noch einmal, vielen dank!

I noticed that you're at Nossal :P
If you need any help with German or languages in particular, I can PM you with school-specific advice because I've had really good experiences with particular teachers and students as support with studying languages.
