Here’s how I’m studying for the DLAB.
1. Prep Books - To brush up on my grammar I am using English Grammar for Dummies and for the actual DLAB Studying I’m using The Official DLAB Training Manual
2. Stressed Syllables - For the stressed syllables section of the test I have a few different methods, I’ll have my family say a word and tell them the syllable that’s stressed (or say random words to myself) but I’ve also been using Duolingo to hear Esperanto words to hear the syllables, and I joined a Discord server for Esperanto to hear people speak in it, since this section of the test is in Esperanto.
3. Grammar - I’ve been brushing up on my english grammar by reading a book and pulling sentences from it and dissecting it for the verb, adjective, noun, object, possessor, and possession. Then I have my mom (who’s and English teacher) go over them to make sure I’m right.
4. Rules - To memorize the rules for each section I use the sentences from my grammar practice and translate them using the rules that the prep book provides. They are the same rules as on the test, so it’s been helping me solidify it in my brain.
5. Pictures - For the visual section I’ve been using practice images to find the similarities between the pictures and translations, let me tell you it is NOT easy :,(
If anyone is also taking the test, message me! I want a study buddy, and it’s not a common test to take.
