Official AP Spanish Thread

<p>alright</p>

<p>it's EL hambre not LA hambre...</p>

<p>now wait wait wait, before the deluge of "hambre is feminines" comes in:
feminine singular nouns that begin with an emphasized a or ha use the masculine form of the article. </p>

<p>el agua
el hacha
el hambre
el </p>

<p>yes .... you just made my day - I put el - I only posted la because the post before did</p>

<p>i was so excited when i remembered that during the test. I thought to myself "yes! I'll actually get one right in this stupid section!"</p>

<p>so, im going to take this "LOVELY" exam next year; I'll be in a nativo speaking class (im a gringo) will it help?</p>

<p>Anyone have suggestions for summer immersion programs in Mexico to go to the summer before taking AP Spanish? The high schoolteacher suggested going but did not know specific programs. Thanks
Also sounds like the Barron's book is the best?</p>

<p>im going to mexico this summer via a program. instituto something something - i can give more info if you're interested. 2 weeks living with a host family & studying the language / culture /etc.</p>

<p>Our listening proctor didn't tell us that we had to keep our tapes running during the speaking part, so almost everyone stopped their tapes after finishing one question and then started them up again for the next one. Does that mean that all of our speaking tapes are in jeopardy of being disqualified? I'm really nervous about this.</p>

<p>no. half of our class did that last year.</p>

<p>Tenth time around......yes..... from personal experience Barron's is prolly the BEST way to go......</p>

<p>hmm... i read some online reviews for the Barron's book and some said that there were way too many mistakes. i used REA, which had much better reviews and it was one of the few books that was actually updated to the new ap test format</p>

<p>Me gusta hablar espanol. Es muy divertido. Me sentia que el examen, aunque era bastante exigente, era muy divertido. Lo disfrute mucho. Y Uds.?</p>

<p>Cuanto de Uds. van a seguir aprendiendo espanol, cuantos van a tomar literatura?</p>

<p>Adios. !Espero que tengan un buen dia!</p>

<p>Hey all! Most of you have probably received your score. Just wondering how everyone did? Better or worse than you expected?</p>

<p>i got a 4. it's what i expected because i was completely caught unprepared for the different format. Although I was really hoping for a 5, I'm still satisfied with this.</p>

<p>Same here! I wasn't expecting there to be so many passages on the exam. BOO I'm not as good at reading comprehension as I am with grammar. </p>

<p>I wish they just kept the grammar sections instead of adding more passages, but oh well. No more Spanish for me =].</p>

<p>I miraculously got a 5. I was expecting a 2 or 3 even though I had a great teacher and we did weekly prep out of the REA book. The reading comprehension was pretty good for me, but I was never very fluent at speaking.</p>
