I have been trying to learn it for nearly a week, The stuff goes in, but I go blank ten minutes later.mtb0minime wrote:
Practice in front of the mirror. Speak Spanish to your friends/family. The night before is too late for this kind of stuff anyway.
Memorize. I'd ace it if it had to be read.mtb0minime wrote:
So do you have to memorize word-for-word this essay? Or do you just have to read it out loud?
Then the entire education board need to learn how to set the course. Its standard procedure to do shit like this, it always has. I'll probably fluke my way through half the questions. I am listening to a recording of myself saying the presenation over and over in a bid to get it into my head.CapnNismo wrote:
I hated doing those memorizing things. What does that bring you in your education? Nothing! No one does presentations or anything nowadays without some sort of note card or other presentation help method.
Tell your teacher he/she is full of shit and you guys should be doing exercises that actually help you learn the language. I did a year and a half of nothing but German (5 days a week, 15 hours a week) and we never had to do that shit. I'm fluent in the language now. None of my English students have ever had to do something like that either. Your teacher needs to learn to teach.

Fuck, why did I chose a language for my GCSEs. What a fucking waste of time. I could have used this time to revise other useful subjects, like IT.
I broke my leg last year and I haven't played football since. So that would have sucked too. maybe I shoulda picked Home Economics and I could have learned how to cook something.jord wrote:

Yeah but how much can you learn that you can't learn from experimenting yourself or watching food programmes.henno13 wrote:

Is it not mandatory to take a foreign language for GCSE's? It was all those millions of years ago when I was at school. Some use Russian has been to me....henno13 wrote:

you don't need a month! if you do it correctly it takes a day or two max.mtb0minime wrote:
Well, to memorize the entire thing, you should've started at least a month ago. Record yourself saying it, burn it on a CD, play it on repeat while you sleep. Speak along to it as you're falling asleep. At this point it's too late, just try to remember the ideas and don't worry about doing it verbatim.
It's 200 words and some questions, not 200 pages. I always have to break these things down into single sentences. Do not move on to the second sentence until the first is satisfactory. When you move on to the second, start from the first : 1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 etc. For me this takes about 30 minutes per page (500 words) depending on the complexity of the composition. I'm no genius by any stretch; even in another language it should only take triple the time at most.mtb0minime wrote:
