    How to succeed in Spanish class:
     

    1. Come to class every day and stay on task.

    *It is very difficult to teach yourself the language.  The contact time in class is irreplaceable.

    *Everything you are asked to do is for a reason—to help you learn!

     

    2. Take notes and work out all problems in class. 
    *Spanish is very much like a math class.  We do problems every day to master concepts and practice vocabulary.

     

    3. Do all homework honestly, thoroughly, thoughtfully, and on time. 
    *Homework is essential for meaningful practice and study.  There is a very high correlation between on-time homework completion and success on tests and quizzes.

     
    4. Study your vocabulary words regularly.

    *Make flashcards or use the online tools on my website.

    *Study your vocabulary words for 10-15 minutes about 3 times a week.
     

    5. Volunteer regularly and ask questions when you need help.

     

    6. See me for extra help when you need it.
     
     
    7. Listen to Spanish music, watch Spanish TV, look through a Spanish magazine or children's book, or try talking to someone in Spanish.

     

    8. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

     


    9. Be open-minded and have a good attitude.

     

    10. Try your hardest and have confidence in yourself.

     
     
    11. Have fun!
