So you get your game face on and rock it out like you know you can!



The exams provide the butt, and you provide the boot! Now go kick some butt!

Yeah I'm studying mainly for Spanish because the other exam (Political Science), unless I bomb it, will not impact my grade much at all letter grade wise. Spanish, on the other hand, will determine whether or not I get an A or a B in the class.

I think you can ace political science, I don't know about Spanish. I'm horrible at spanish but I'm sure you can do well.


Well, I applied to a Chik Fil A, it drug on for 3 weeks only to be told they are going in a different direction :/ My next sweet tea there will not be a happy one

I mean I understand spanish but I'm not so good at reading or writing it which is what most of the exam consists of.

I felt the same way about French classes. I think my problem is I just never really had any great foreign language teachers, so as a result, leaning new languages isn't something I've really excelled at.

Also, that Rosetta Stone program is just too boring. I think it would be cool if there was like some kind of RPG game that's in a foreign language, but helps you learn the language. I mean sure, you could play Skyrim and set the language to whatever, but that wouldn't really help you learn it. :P

My thing is they just assume you know the necessary vocab. Which I don't.

For me, I could remember nouns and verbs, but formulating sentences was something I had trouble with. There's a ton of things French does differently than English. Heck, so many sentences read backwards (rather than saying "the car is blue" the sentence flows more like "blue is the car.") and it's very difficult to get used to it.

Spanish is very similar. Like the adjective always goes after the noun so instead of reading "the blue car" it reads "the car blue". And stuff like that. You also have to remember that there are two different verbs for is that must be used in different situations. So if I was giving a description, I would use ser, so the sentence would be "El coche es azul." But if I wanted to express an emotion or something like that, I have to use estar. So a sentence could be "Yo estoy muy triste porque los examines finales." Also adjectives must agree both in numbers and in gender. So look back at "examines finales" which means final exams. In english we only pluralize the noun, but in spanish, both the adjective and the noun must be plural. And what I mean by agreement with gender is that many adjectives can end in o or a. For example, simpatico(a), rubio(a), and alto(a). You would change it to an a if the noun the adjective it is describing is female, but if it's male you leave the o. So if I wanted to say the girl is nice, blonde, and tall, the sentence would go, "Ella es simpatica, rubia, y alta." And because those are permanent descriptions you use ser. If I was describing a guy it would be "El es simpatico, rubio, y alto." And if you are describing a group of people, if there are guys in the group (like if it's all guys or guys and girls) then the sentence would be "Ellos son simpaticos, rubios, y altos." But if it's a group of just girls it would be "Ellas son simpaticas, rubias, y altas."

Make sense?

That does make it easier to understand, thanks!

You definitely sound like you're ready for your exam. Here's to hoping it turns out great. :D
