Try to pay attention as much as you can in class and do all your homework at the highest level and ask your teacher for any extra credit oppurunites or anything else that can be re-done or worked on to improve your grade. I'm taking Spanish 1 right now I have a B.
Thank you very much for the advice. Unfortunately I think it may be too late for me at the moment as we have a Quiz tomorrow. I feel I am prepared to some extent, but based on past experiences in Spanish I suppose I walk into quizzes and tests negatively, something I know I shouldn't do.
Good luck to you in Spanish I. I plan on taking all four years of Spanish. The more years of a foreign language you take the better according to colleges.
