I took German at GCSE and I will be getting my result in August (expecting a C/B) and honestly even though I will probably have passed, I still feel that I can barely speak an awful lot of it. The course was appalling, and focused very much on learning only the specific vocab needed to pass the exam and not actually learn the language.
I'd actually quite like to be bilingual though, and I have already found a website that works amazingly to learn words (memrise, honestly its amazing I learned 400 words the day before one of my exams and it really helped lmao, i remembered at least 70% of them). My main trouble is the rules of the language and placements of certain words in a sentence.
For an example;
Quote:
To say "Can you speak German?", I would get confused between the following;
"Kannst du Deutsch sprechen?"
"Kannst du spreche die Deutsch"
"Du sprichst Deutsch?"
"Kann du Deutsch sprechen"?

Like, I could probably google but I wouldn't know which one to use if I had a conversation with a german person..
Does anyone know any way I can become fluent in German that is free and preferably something I can do over the internet?
I know that living in the actual country is supposedly the best way, but since I'm currently only nearing the end of Year 9 and doing GCSE's that is out of the question lol.
