Jump from A-Level to first year at university - languagesHello!
I've just finished my A-Levels and I'm (hopefully) going to study German at uni in september. I was just wondering how people found the transition from A-Level to university with German or any language for that matter.
What are the first few weeks like and is there any advice you could give me that you wish you knew before you started your first year?
Thanks!

Re: Jump from A-Level to first year at university - languagesObviously it may depend on the uni and how they teach the course but I found that the language lessons were just a repeat of A-level. The hardest thing was adjusting to everything being taught in the target language. It was a little bit of a shock at times but got much better as time went on.

I hope it's not too difficult a transition :/ -

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Do you feel that the language lessons being taught in the target language also greatly improve your language skills simply by the fact that you're being taught in the language? If that makes sense haha.(Original post by hannah_dru)

Re: Jump from A-Level to first year at university - languagesYeah I did to a certain extent, although it wasn't quite the same as being abroad. I miss it!(Original post by Siân)
