<p>Hello CC I'm in my 3rd and final year of Spanish and the class is really difficult, especially since I transferred from a much easier school. How did you guys go about doing well in your foreign language classes and how would you go about passing a class such a trig with a very bad teacher. Thank you</p>
<p>The only real solution is to self-study. I’m in Spanish II right now, and I absolutely love it. I maintained the highest grade in the class (I have a 101 right now) by my natural ability to memorize words. The concepts starts to get tricky when you’re introduced to reflexive verbs, indirect and direct objects, but I understand the concepts after a few packets of worksheets. If you’re struggling with that Spanish class due to a higher curriculum, I suggest you drop that class. Otherwise, it will lower your GPA. If you have a passion for the Spanish language, then buy a Spanish book and self-study it. You can always use online resources.</p>
<p>Try to relate the Spanish to English grammar. If you do not understand English grammar, like what indirect and direct objects are, what passive voice is, etc., then you will have a hard time with other languages. Learn the grammar with English first, and then apply it to Spanish. Learning the parts of speech, functions of words in sentences and even when to use the different moods in English (ie. subjunctive, indicative, imperative) will help you greatly. In fact, they make a lot more sense in other languages because the words look different in languages like Spanish depending on whether they are the object of a sentence or not.</p>
<p>I would ultilze everything in my arsenal. Meaning, I would read least 1-2 chapters in the text book, go on ieanleauge and practice, use the Spanish dictionary app to improve and test vocabulary. I started out rough because I wasn’t/still not accustomed to being spoken to in Spanish. I’m a freshman currently taking Spanish. 2 with a 102. Yeah, that’ll go down for two reasons, lol that’s just me being pessimistic , but yeah. Use everything to your best ability and you’re sure to succeed.</p>
<p>^ Lol. Spanish 2 and AP Spanish Lang or Lit (which is what I assume OP is taking) are two completely different things on the difficulty spectrum. I’d be shocked if you two DIDN’T have a ridiculously high A right now–it’s only been what, a month into the semester?

<p>OP, I took AP Spanish Lang last year and I found that practicing my conversational Spanish helped the most. So if you know anyone who can speak even semi-fluently, talk to them (en espa</p>
