To revise vocabulary from your text book; https://quizlet.com/en-gb
https://www.lightbulblanguages.co.uk/resources-sp-ks3-txt.htm
General independent language learning tips to ensure success in your future Spanish studies;
-Learn 10-20 new words per day from a website / your textbook
-Read short texts in Spanish (from https://www.lightbulblanguages.co.uk/resources-sp-ks3-txt.htm or in your text book) and think about the meaning of and look up new words
-Watch a Spanish video on Youtube every day and note down at least 5 new words you learnt from the video. With subtitles in fine.
-Call or Facetime a friend and agree to speak Spanish for a few minutes. Plan the questions you are going to ask each other so you can prepare in advance. This will really boost your confidence.
-Look up all of the countries in the world where Spanish is the main language. Then spend time each day researching those countries. Find out things that you are interested in; favourite sports, food, dance etc. Make a booklet keeping all of your notes together ready to share with your teacher.
-Keep a diary of the activities that you do each day ready to show to your teacher. If you are in Year 10 or above, you could try to write your diary in Spanish and include other activities you have done, what you have eaten etc, all in the past tense.
PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE BEST EFFORTS WITH INDEPENDENT WORK. Plan your time carefully.
