study tips for spanish 1?
92714
I have taken Spanish for three years now and everything is still going great. I have found that using flashcards helps you remember vocab. Another great method is to watch Spanish TV shows, this helps in remembering vocab and understanding sentance structure. Even if you only understand a few things, don't get discouraged, my Spanish 1 teacher had me do that and it got easier everytime I did it. I'd also recomend reading books in Spanish, usually your local library will have a spanish book section, give it a try! My final recomendation, use spanish in conversations with friends and family, even if it is only a couple of words, it will help you remember and help them learn a little spanish if they didn't know it already. I hope that helped.

There are very good study tips already listed here. There are methods for different subjects and styles of learning. But one thing you might want to consider is how you learn. Are you a visual, auditory, kinetic, or mixed learner. If you are a visual learner here are some tips:\n- use graphic organizers (charts, maps, diagrams, etc.) to organize the information.\n- use pictures either in your head or drawn out. For example, If my students were studying culture, they might draw a bedroom with a poster of an artist on the wall, a shelf with books by famous authors, a cd player with cds of various musicians, etc. \n- use color. Perhaps you could put the major battles of one war in one color and another war in a different color. In foreign languages, try irregular verbs in red, regular verbs in green; Masculine objects in blue, feminine in pink, etc. \n\nIf you are an auditory learner try these tips:\n- have some one read it to you or read aloud and record it for play back at any time.\n- put it to music \n- say the important information aloud\n- put the information in story form (have fun with this: add voices, sound effects, accents, etc.) and tell someone \n\nIf you are a kinetic learner try this:\n- make up actions for important terms\n- act out or role play scenes and events\n- some of my students have made up cheers\n- just move around and find natural actions to match the concepts.\n\nMix and match - \nmake up songs with actions and picture the scenes in your head while you sing.\n\nMake it fun for yourself. I get bored easily. When I study I have to be creative and put it all in simplest form. Some of these things take time to do put you are learning and thinking the whole time. try the links below for more help.

Study your book and your notes.  Reread them, copy sections out, and try to explain the concept(s) to someone else without interuption - that was the best way for me...but take the time to find out which way helps you to memorize the material.  Classical music is said to help studing, but then again so is chewing gum. There's not one single thing it is merely studying your hardest.  Test will get easier the more you stud and the more you more the teacher's style of testing.  But don't cram the night or even the week end before the test.  Have a regular study habit.  I've been told what you don't know by 10pm the night before the test there is something like 75% or more probalblity that you won't remember it for the test.  Remember to get a good nights sleep before the test and have a good breakfast before the test as it is important to have a good have a clear head.  Remember to reread the question before answering just to be sure you know what is being asked, and take your time. Also check out this site: http://studying-techniques.com/ it seems it would be helpful.

Practice a lot.\nMake yourself some flash cards, with both sides and review them everywhere, bus, car ride, bathroom, in the hallway. Start early and they are easy to keep up with.

Nothing like practice but reading also important.  Reader's digest has words to learn in the front usually. Seems some internet resources - many - so important to choose 1 or two ways so you don't spread yourself too thin.  It is really a life long process to learn, and what school should have been preparing you for all along. I found when I studied Latin it helped a lot for understanding vocabulary.  A buddy may help you to learn or keep on practicing as you learn best by teaching each other. Reading books especially classics can help but I don't know how much time you have to prepare for this exam. A dictionary at your side is important so you can learn.  A grammar book might help too but again that takes time. A buddy might help you keep on trying. Good luck!

I have an exam bright and early tomorrow morning and I can't study :-/  Here's some advice, though, that could possibly help you (and me too!)--start by getting off the internet!  Get a new notebook for each subject and pick one to start on.  First, outline all of the topics you need to study.  Then, pick a topic and make an outline of subtopics within that topic, and so on.  Also, if you're having trouble focusing, give yourself a schedule that allows for small breaks if you do an hour of work, for example.  Be sure to sleep well and eat well so that you are healthy and alert.  Ask your teachers if they can suggest some study strategies as well.  Good luck!

I found the best way to study for my exams was to breakdown everything I needed to know into little topics.\n Then I would get a piece of a3 paper and do big spider diagrams for each topic and draw pictures to help me remember. I used to make up little songs and rhymes as well. Sounds stupid but it work. \nOh and when your in your exam a good tip someone once gave me was: read though the whole exam paper, put a tick next to all the questions you definatley know the answer too. Then question marks next to the ones where maybe you know the answer and a cross next to the one you havent a clue. Then go and do all the questions with ticks, by which time you brian is focus and you will probably have remember the maybe (question mark ones) ones so that when you come to the lasts crosses (havent got a clue ones) one you brian is correctly in gear and the crosses will hopefully be question marks if not ticks!! hope that makes sense. good luck

Quiero hablar espanol, pero no me gusta estudiar.\nI took Spanish as a college course, but haven't used it much and need to learn it all over again, but I'm too lazy to study and practice.\n\nI would also like to relearn French, which I once was fairly fluent in.\nSame problem.\n\nI've had low thyroid and that really interferes with studying.\nAnd, I'm now getting older, which doesn't help.

Some great courses/tests/etc on Spanishgrammar.com... there are others also. I go there often and print out the tests and the answers are also given.

I think "Teach Yourself" series books with CD's are the best.\nI don't know about Spanish but it greatly helped me to learn an another languge.\n\nThe best way to learn any language is to find an enviroment where you can speak and test your learnig.

I'm a junior currently taking AP classes for the first time too. It's hard, I agree. The best way to study is breaking it up. First, read over each chapter (maybe read one or two chapters a night). Make sure you understand what is going on in the chapters. Ask a friend or teacher if you don't understand something.\n\nMake notecards with all of the key terms. Make a question/answer sheet with possible essay questions. Outline each chapter. Summarize each chapter in a paragraph in your own words (and try using the vocab words in the paragraph). Try to do these things without looking at your notes.\n\nMemorize important dates and people. Focus on understanding main points.\n\nThe best advice I can give to you is to set aside 1 - 3 hours a night just for studying. Remember, studying will mean nothing if you don't understand the material, so I strongly recommend figuring out what is going on first. It's not fun, but it'll be worth it in the end. \n\nGood luck!

One very good tip is to listen. This is a good tip because if you listen to what the teacher says it can often help you to cut out unnecessary studying to the subject. \n\nWhen studying make sure that there is little no distractions in the room - this can include TV or Music or siblings.\n\nSkim over the text briefly before studying to fix what it is about in your mind. Look at the headings and see if you know what is discussed under each one.\n\nStudy in sections. After each section quiz yourself on two or more points and also at the end of your study period.\n\nHope that is of some help...

Spanish II is almost like Spanish I. Just a bit more in-depth I think. And you have to remember everything from Spanish I. Know how to conjugate your verbs and know everything that's in your textbook
