In order to have everything that you might need to begin and succeed in your Spanish class, here's a short list:
1. If your taking a course in college or university, get your text book ASAP. Read the introduction, as it will give you a clear idea on what the objectives of the program are and how to use the materials provided.
2. If it is an online program, be sure you have all the required materials. Read the introductory materials.
3. You will definitely need a GOOD dictionary. Maybe not the one you had in high school or middle school -unless you were in an IB or AP course program-, but an extended edition that will provide you with more than one word and with examples.
4. Try to look for any podcasts or online material outside from the one provided by your school. This will help you to have an extra hand to review and practice your oral and listening skills.
5. If you can, look for a Hispanic friend or someone whom you can practice talking Spanish with. This does not need to be a tutor. Maybe someone that you know from your community or friends and that have a spare hour during the week to help you out with your conversational skills.
Yes, I know. To follow this might be in an ideal world, but is good to have this on hand. Maybe some of you would follow it and later will let me know how it went. !Hasta pronto!
