the only thing that got me through YEARS of french class was "the chart"
I drew the chart on every single test to help with verb tense.
Kinda looks like this:
I We
You You
Him They
and every time a new verb ending showed up i would fill in the endings in a new chart.
It worked for me -- you're welcome to use it.
=) you'll do great! just wait till you start thinking in spanish!!

Drill, drill, drill. Also set DVDs to Spanish when you watch them and add the Spanish subtitles. Best wishes. Let us know how it goes,OK? I am originally an English as a second language student and learned so much from watching movies and reading. Also make the little lists like some one mentioned and maybe study with another student.

Great suggestions thank you. I'm going to check out those websites. I'm making flash cards so that my mom can help me, and I may have to have Telemundo playing in the back ground when my room mate is not in the room... so that I don't bother her studying... Just hope I don't get sucked into those novellas!

One of my daughters was dyslexic and discovered it was easier for her to learn when she read her lessons to a recorder and played them back often. While sitting in the bath, while just plain sitting in the car, etc. She became a PA (Phsican's Assistant) then went into the family job of carrying a badge. And that took some more education which she could do again with the recorder.
Have you ever tried this?

And thats how I look at math![/quote]
---------------------
I never looked at math if I could help it, so of course failed that one. You actually have to STUDY them, which was a shock in itself, especially with someone who was slightly dyslexic with numbers, not letters, which my daughter inherited from me.

But at least you will understand them! lol The local stations in spanish are terrific for study. I am able to refresh a bit of my Spanish by having it on in the background. By the way, bobbin is bobbina in spanish. I used to help non english speaking customers with sewing things.
My Spanish classes were back in the early'70's and some of it still comes back.
