Language orals

[-Nick]

Did you ever enjoy language orals?
What was the most effective way you learnt paragraphs and Q&A's?

[lemons]

i just write them out over and over again and learnt to write them before i learnt to say them out loud

I find that learning a spiel by heart in English first is the most effective way, then I'll write it out and break it into sections to make it easier to remember.

I only enjoyed them if it was about something interesting. I would tend to focus more on learning the actual content than some pre-written paragraphs, usually by rereading and would maybe try to remember a few key phrases to make sure I met any criteria. This doesn't mean I wouldn't write anything out beforehand, but it means what I did write was what I actually knew and I would actually remember it for time to come after the examination.

I preferred language orals compared to English presentations. When I did them, the only person who could tell I was screwing up was my teacher, everyone else just sat there and didn't listen, so it made it so good lmao.

I just prepared way in advance and looked over it for about half an hour leading up to it.

I never got higher than a D, so I'll let you guess how much I practiced :P

I just memorised the speaking part off by heart until perfect - as for the Q+As, I just revised common questions and answers to them really.

Used to just cheat, held the full script in front of the 40 words under the table.

I have fantastic memory for some reason so for GCSE Spanish I could learn all 500ish words in a day. I'd memorise it the day before which used to drive my mum mad but it worked just fine for me. I'd just write it out over and over until I'd learned most of it, then I'd start to say it out loud and see how much I could do.

For A-Level I just say whatever pops into my head during the exam.

Wow, that's amazing. I wish I could learn it as easy as that. I would be scared leaving it to the last day, what happens if you couldn't remember it all?

No idea, it never happened (A)
Seriously memory is my only talent; it's not very exciting but I'm great at cramming the hour before and exam or something so at least it's useful for something.

I would understand the sentence structure and what each words mean (since I studied German and now am currently taking up Chinese).

For Welsh, I used to ring my Gran and she would help me even though she couldn't understand a word of Welsh. She would tell me to say a few sentences then she would tell me to hang up then learn the next sentence and then ring me back and I would say it all again. If that makes sense? But yeah, it worked well!
