A-Level German is a lot more grammar and vocab based than at GCSE. At GCSE you tend to just learn sentences rather just learning how to actually put them together.

That's basically it, more grammar and more vocab. By the end of A-Level you should be a lot more fluent in conversation and be able to have a better understanding on what the hell people are saying!
Is the literature hard, then? I think that's my main worry. I can do the communication bit fine, with a bit of practise but I'm not very analytical/intelligent/insightful..etc...
