I'd love to be fluent as well!
At our school, grammar is a really big focus and therefore we all are really good at it to be honest. One time, the spanish teacher from college visited my school to moderate some work, and she ended up observing one of my Spanish lessons as well. She walked around the class and spoke to us in Spanish, and she applauded us on how accurate our grammar was and how much that will help us if we continue spanish at college
If I were you, I'd try to learn as many tense conjugations as my brain would hold. This would probably make your life a bit easier next year
What other subjects are you doing at college?
I wish we had a different place to do our listening exam in, but there is literally no other space available... My school is really quite small
I haven't watched any telenovelas per se, but I've seen a couple of episodes on youtube of The Simpsons/Friends/Scrubs which have been dubbed in Spanish and, although I don't understand everything, it has really helped me 'tune in' to Spanish much better which has definitely improved my listening skills. I also tend to listen to spanish songs or spanish covers of English songs on YouTube and I prefer it when the lyrics are given in the video because this helps me identify words and recognise their pronunciation
I fortunately got full marks in all my controlled assessments for Spanish (woop!), so that will really help to boost my grade if I end up not doing so well in the exams. However, I'm very concerned about whether my controlled assessment scores will be lowered following their moderation, because last year a guy who was super good at spanish ended up with his writing assessments being lowered from full marks to a D. My teacher appealed but WJEC didn't respond with a full explanation for this and refused to re-moderate it... Now, my teacher is beginning to wonder whether, with WJEC, there is such a thing as a 'too good' controlled assessment. I reaaaally hope I don't experience a repeat of that guy's situation!
Omg the exams are tomorrow! I'm sooooooo nervous. I know that I know plenty of vocab etc, but I'm 100% sure that the vocab that comes up in the exams will the vocab that I don't know. Asvhghkb.
