Pracitsing

During the first week of our Easter break I finally managed to read the book by David Monagan, „Jaywalking with the Irish“. Furthermore I worked through the grammar books “Grammar in use” and the orange one. To my surprise I did a good job, when it comes to tenses, but ons I definitely need to study more on prepostions. Another section which I focused on were the conditionals, as I am not fully aware when to use the right structure.
Struggling with “when to set a comma” correctly, I unwillingly, but finally sat down and studied the relative clauses, which was absolutely exhausting, but in the end not as difficult as I expected it to be.
Practising or improving my oral skills I called my friend in the US talking to her at least for a few minutes to find out what’s going on and conveying her all the news from my life in Austria. It was absolutely hilarious and exciting because I haven’t talked to her since my stay last February. Unfortunately my phone card was empty then...
