Q:

What can you do to succeed in my Spanish class?

A:

Daily practice is the key - since a lot of this class builds upon previously learned material, be sure to keep up with your work! Make flashcards for vocabulary and have your family or friends quiz you. Be sure to learn how to spell your words! Buy a Spanish-English dictionary to help you with reading assignments. Stay focused on school and don't let outside things interfere with your studies! Finally, if you still need help ASK me!
