Welcome to Footnotes!

Footnotes is a blog in which you can complain, express yourself, scream, or open your heart to whatever feelings you have about learning Spanish. To learn a foreign language is always difficult and it requires practice and a lot of group work. The objective of the blog is to provide a space in which Spanish students can share their learning experience. You can ask a question, complain about a difficult in a grammar point, or give an answer or tip for those same questions and complains. Teachers can also provide new information or guidance to make the process a lot easier. You may also find some websites that may be helpful, or give new ones for the benefit of everybody. I hope you enjoy this experience and that Footnotes will be part of your learning experience. Go ahead! Empieza!

Summer language craziness


As we all know, to learn a foreign language requires commitment and, overall, practice. Summer courses are part of our academic schedules and many students -because of comfort or necessity- decide to take language courses instead of going to the beach or take a job. Two questions have developed from this decision: Is a Summer course enough practice? If not, then, what is the point? Many answer that if it is not a first semester-first year course, is all good. But what about practice AND commitment? I don't think there is a complete answer, but, what do you think? Have you had this Summer experience? If so, how was it? How it can be compared with a fall or spring semester? Dejenme sus comentarios!
