Step 1: Application process (completed by guardian)
New Student Interest Form (Please read "What IS Virtual School Spanish first)
Tips from former students:
Create a notes page for all of your Spanish log on passwords!
I wish I knew we would have to speak. I wish I'd known about Duolingo, so I would actually know some words so I could practice before the first day
Don't freak out and study for tests
Pay attention to everything the teachers say
Listen to my classmates mistakes. I can learn and fix my own
Wake up earlier
Speak LOUD
Don't take this class lightly
Create good study habits. Start right from the beginning making your study slips and try not to break the habit
Don't be afraid to ask questions because it won't be as confusing and you'll know what to do next time
It's OK if you don't know the answer, just simply ask if you don't understand
Take notes on things you may slip up on
Get my headphones before I sit down
Work on Spanish accents before starting the class itself, and learn the Spanish alphabet
