    Getting back into German
    I did a few months of German at uni (4 years ago, dropped out and changed course) and whilst I still listen to German music and occasionally watch German tv shows my skills have definitely dropped!

    I always struggled quite badly with the grammar side of things and found vocab a lot easier to learn so my spoken and written German is quite bad but listening and writing is quite good. Is there anything you guys can recommend I can do to get my skills back up? I don't want to invest too much in books etc; I still have some of my old course books from uni. (Hammar, Big Yellow Verb Book and... Essential Modern German Grammar I think) Should I just go through those again?

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK with over 173,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics.

    Handpicked examples show formative feedback comments from some brilliant teachers. Plus, reviews from A* students and hints, tips & common mistakes from their teacher team. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work, read reviews and teacher summaries AND view the hints and tips absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    Maybe you can try to use some online websites? I'm currently using Livemocha to learn German.
