Question

HI i was wondering what i could do to get my spanish grade from an F to at least a c because i am trying to play freshmen football but because of the F i have lower than a 2.0 so i was wondering if you have any suggestions for me to help me get better at spanish and study skills.

Hi Isaih. Welcome to SpanishDict. I think you need some help with your English as well. We offer both here. Under the menu tab, you will find a lot of free resources like, the lessons, grammar section, flashcards and much more. - rac1, Oct 15, 2015

I so wish I could give you the desire to learn Spanish/English that I have. There may be some things that bore people but in general learning should be fun! Sometime teachers can really spark interest. - Sassette, Oct 15, 2015

...if you enjoy what you do (not just to get good grades) you'll do much better and get good grades. Good luck with your studies and football :) - Sassette, Oct 15, 2015

...of course I meant "SometimeS teachers" in my first comment. It was just a typo :-) - Sassette, Oct 15, 2015

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum. Can you add your language level in Spanish and English.

Are you based in the USA? I don't know the education system in the USA are you prevented from playing in the college team without a good standard in Spanish? What did you find difficult- reading/writing/speaking or listening? Clearly you are motivated find some Spanish speaking students and talk. Listen to some podcasts you like in Spanish either a course or just individual ones. I like Notes in Spanish which goes from complete beginner to a high level.

Can you contact your former teacher and ask for advice? They will be pleased you want to improve.

Listen to music and watch Spanish TV and movies. Change your settings on your phone etc to Spanish.

If you have the opportunity take some classes a good teacher is very helpful.

In English as well. :) - rac1, Oct 15, 2015

His English seems fine to me. I assume he is using a phone and cannot be bothered to use appropriate capitals. - Mardle, Oct 15, 2015

Maybe, but if you can use a capital to begin a sentence, then you can use one to write the letter "I" and "S". - rac1, Oct 15, 2015

Answer 2

There are people who know you, and the resources available to you, better than we do. Your counselor, your Spanish teacher, your librarian, your parents? Ask them for help, and be prepared to work hard.
