I hope you have your anchor drink at hand again. Let's think about where you should be at the moment if you followed the instructions of the first video.

Then you worked through your German language course completely, listened to the German texts, then read them aloud in German and marked all the words you know or think you know. In this way, you have gone through all the lessons of your German course to the end.

In addition, you marked the German words in the back of your language course that you understand straight away. In addition, you have so far ignored the grammar and all exercises in the German book.

In today's video I will explain how you can improve your German skills from this point and what the book "The Little Prince" has to do with it.

As of today, you should know sentences like e.g. ich bin im Hotel, Sie sind im Restaurant, wir sind an der Bar. Ich habe ein Meeting, ich hatte ein Meeting, ich bin am Airport, ich war am Airport, etc.

So now it's all about how you can expand the sentences that you have been able to form so far, without having to learn the irregular verbs of the German language. This works by making use of the modal verbs, ie verbs like "can", "want", "should", "must" and "may".

So now find the appropriate translations for the modal verbs from your German course. After a modal verb, the verb always follows in the infinitive. Therefore, you do not have to learn irregular verbs at this time.

So you only need to remember five verbs to be able to express almost everything you want to say in German.

In the next step you look at the exercises and the grammar in your German course and think about which exercises you would like to do. You then do these exercises. Also ask yourself which grammar rules interest you, e.g. how to ask questions or form subordinate clauses and then request this grammar information from your German course - because this gives you a completely different perception of learning.

So go through your German course a second time and really only look at the exercises and grammar information that you enjoy and want to do. Then find out the modal verbs and think about how to ask questions and form subordinate clauses in German.

Practice the vocabulary that is easy for you straight away, e.g. "petit" because you like the little prince or "aussi" because you know a joke with that word.

Also let the German texts run in the background all day. And if all of this is too little for you, read an hour a day in the German version of the book "The Little Prince". Compare the text with the version in your native language and enjoy the story. You will learn about 2,400 words and train sentences that sound very elegant and stylish.
