About the teacher:
¡Hola chicos! Soy Señora Suleiman, la profe de español AP.
I have been living in Amman, Jordan for two plus decades, and have raised my family here. You will usually spot me in the hallways with a cup of coffee in my hand. I hold an undergraduate degree with a double-major in Spanish Language and History, a Masters degree in Interdisciplinary Education, and teaching credentials from the United Kingdom. I love languages--especially Spanish and Arabic--world travel, all kinds of music, history, coffee (already mentioned) and am an avid reader and grammar geek.
I hope you will continue to love the Spanish language as much as I do. Please read this page carefully and thoroughly. It contains LOTS of resources to help prepare you for AP Spanish.

¡Bienvenidos, alumnos de español! You have chosen to take a rewarding and challenging AP course next year. I welcome you on this journey in exploring six major (blended) themes of study for this course. They are blended because they overlap both in content and in ideas. As we move through the course, you will see how each theme leads into the others. They are listed above.

SUMMER ASSIGNMENT
1) You will be given access to practice assessments with both reading and audio. These will be done through VHL. Once I have the finalized list of AP Students, I will send you instructions on how to access these practices. They must be completed prior to the first day of class. Please join the GOOGLE CLASSROOM for AP 2026 - 2027.
Please do not panic if you find them challenging. They ARE challenging. No one starts out at a "5" level at the start of the year!
2) Study / Review Grammar with the comprehensive grammar review *scroll down to see it*. AP Spanish is NOT a grammar class, and you are expected to have an intermediate-mid level of writing and comprehension of structures.
You will have a comprehensive grammar assessment within the first month of school.
3) LISTEN to PODCASTS, RADIO NACIONES UNIDAS, WATCH PROGRAMS, INTERACT WITH SPANISH-SPEAKERS. Keep a journal (en español) of how you engaged with Spanish over the summer. You should have at least 10 interactions with the language. You will share these the first class.
Useful websites / links to help keep you engaged and interacting.
CULTURE PACKET This is a packet that is updated yearly of activities that we have been exposed to in Spanish 3, 4, and AP. There are many links contained within.
BLOG that breaks down all themes and has super cool activities (excelente)
RADIO NACIONES UNIDAS United Nations Radio has short news blurbs about the Spanish-speaking world (and the world in general) each and every day, and the AP Exam always takes recordings from here
RTVE News, programs, documentaries...all for FREE. Just create a login / password.
EASY SPANISH (great series on YouTube to subscribe to...and it's not easy, but what is great about these videos is that they include people from ALL OVER the Spanish-speaking world and they deal with contemporary, interesting themes)
PODCASTS ON VARIOUS TOPICS - Españolistos (excelente)
VOCABULARIO that has been known to be recirculated on AP Exams
