Helpful resource posted on my website:
Welcome to Spanish 2!
I will post more information here as soon as the school year is ready to begin, however, as we will be interacting in Spanish 99% of the time in class, it is important that you practice the pronunciation of the alphabet since you will be required (some may be extra credit opportunities) to provide the spelling for several words throughout the year. Here is a practice video. Similarly, I recommend that you practice the numbers from 1-100 with this practice video and pay attention to the pronunciation and the spelling for each number.
Please email Profe. Peterson (apeterson@bfcsaz.com) if you have any questions.
