Duolingo is also a good way to stay in touch with the language. While it is not the same as being in the classroom, it does offer some linguistic interaction that most passive websites do not.
Reading newspapers will not only keep you in touch with the language, but will also keep you informed about current events in the Spanish speaking world. My favorite is probably BBC (https://www.bbc.com/mundo). Watching Spanish news is also another way to stay informed. My recommendation is Telemundo (https://www.telemundo.com/).
Last, but not least, don’t hesitate to contact me at villegas@aa.edu if you have any questions or need further suggestions.
As discussed with the students, if they have registered for the AP Exam, we will continue working during the winter and spring trimesters in preparation for the exam.
