so i definitely get the feeling that noone on bos does italian...or very few anyways, but im hoping that someone can help me

how do i learn all this italian stuff by the time the exams roll round? im doing beginners by ohs and am finding it impossible to learn all the verbs and past tenses and phrases and rules and EVERYTHING and keep it all in my head. and cos im ohs, i have to do all my assessments for the year in one day in MARCH. thats like...a month away! i just want to know what other people do to learn and memorise all the stuff...even in other languages. HELP!

HEy i realised that no one does italian either..Its really upsetting actually, and they don't ahve any resources or anything like that on here for us.. Im doing my HSC this year, im doing italian continuers and because im like the only one in my italian class that doesn't actually speak italian at home im finding it really hard. How i study? Well up until now i didn't think i could study much, However ive realise that you can study heaps. Gather the topics that you need to know and make notes on things like culural differences, gather phrases from texts books or the net and all the things you've done in class. The VERBS are hard
especially with all the irregualrities, just try and remebr the general rules, it can only come with practise thats all i can say, need any more and im here

It's not surprising there's not that many italian people on here cause its not incredibly popular, the candidacy for continuers this year was only like 350. i did continuers and i found that doing simple grammar exercises from like a drill book helped me immensely. There's also a great site called www.professorgio.com where you can play a verb drill game, it helped me heaps. Hope that helps you.
