Does anyone have any tips on HOW to study for italian?

My problem is that I've never actually studied for italian!!

So If any one who has done italian/doing italian has any tips on how I can prepare for my Italian exams in the next few weeks.. I'd be extremely appreciative :)

- do practice writing, listening, reading exercises. and once you do a few do them on a time limit.
- read as much as you can in Italian
-practice speaking italian as much as you can
- prepare responses for speaking questions that they could ask you and MEMORISE them!

ummm.... i'm sorry this is not that revealing but i think that really the key is just common sense... just practice practice practice!

i dont have common sense.. lol..
Thanks heaps.. because I really have no idea about study in general.. I'm a 'wing-it' sorta gal

watch the italian news on sbs...if you can understand them then you should be alright in the listening part of the course

surround yourself with as much italian as possible

do practice papers, get your teacher to mark practices you do, fix mistakes you make all the time! maybe memorise sentences you can use, so you know you have some gramatically correct. get to know your dictionary very well

speaking - write and get your teacher to mark passages answering every possible question you can think of, then memorise them, ready to regurgitate in the exam :D
