A2 German help

Currently in a fairly odd position regarding teachers for German and I don't feel like I'm learning how to express the opinions I'll need for the speaking exam. Does anyone have any tips/resources for doing this independently? Last year and last term I mostly formulated opinions in class discussions in German, which we are no longer doing.

Not really much different to last year. Make sure you have a stock of opinion phrases and then think about various things you could say about specific issues, sure it's a bit harder than having it spoonfed via class discussion but you gotta just try and think (or google advantages/disadvantages of X), that's all
