Please make sure to register for the exam on PSSO before the deadline and to sign up for a time slot for your second Teilleistung (i.e. the oral exam concerning the logs with your partner) in class.
Please be advised that there will be no class on Monday, May 23rd from 9:45-13:00, as I will be involved in observing a practice lesson and conducting an interview with a candidate for the new English instructor position. On May 23rd at 11:30 am, you will find two essay prompts posted on my blog for you to write in response to if you would like. This optional essay is due by 12:30 pm (i.e. one hour later) to my university email address. The essay must be under 351 words and submitted by the deadline in order to receive feedback.
Your task for this week is to learn ALL of the vocabulary for Unit 22 (Quality and the arts) and complete any exercises you didn't last semester. Much of this will be review, but please pay attention to sections that you did not address in your own study last semester and return to exercises you had difficulty with.
Please review Units 1, 3, and 5 in the textbook and your answers to the exercises you completed last semester. Bring in any questions that you have with tense to our session on May 25th.
Most of you are aware of various German false friends with English, but some of you are not aware that French and Spanish interference is something to watch out for now that you are studying two languages at once. Avoid false friends in your work on the exam and have a look at these lists below:
