YOU GO TO CLASS EVERY DAY.....😃
    YOU TAKE GREAT NOTES......😁
       YOU STUDY FOR EVERY TEST...... 😆


STILL NOT PASSING SPANISH?😱
Take a look at these great tips because getting the grade you want may not be as hard as you think!

First, talk to your instructor!  Whatever you think the situation may look like,  make that connection! Not only does it encourages your instructor about your sincerity but it will also give some really golden information on what they are looking for and expecting.  For instance, many students don't realize the importance of class participation, i.e. answering questions, reading aloud etc. 
Next,  take your golden information to your highschool or college tutoring center.  For example,  Palomar College has an excellent Star Tutoring Center right there on campus and completely free of charge!  (BTW, another great blog on making the most out of your tutoring sessions coming soon!)

Next, really stick to whatever game plan you and your tutor have come up with.  If it's to spend an extra 30 minutes on homework or just study time... Oh, how can I put this... Do it!  If it's to restructure the way you take notes...hmm... Just do it!   Remember,  we tutors have been there,  done that and have come out alive and sparkling!
And our goal is to help you get there too!

Finally,  realize that attitude is everything!  You got this, the  sky is the limit ! So take advantage of these  tips and remember you can always email me for more!

Getting Real with Demonstrative Adjectives!

So, it's time.....to get real with a fun little concept in Spanish called "Demonstrative Adjectives". Why? You ask? Because at some point in time we all need to say this or that or these or those in Spanish!  It's just a fun fact of life.  Demonstrative Adjectives are also really important to know for..oh let's say that massive cumulative exam coming up next week.  Well, my people, today is the day we nail Demonstrative Adjectives for now and always in just four key concepts! Grab that cup of tea and read on!
1.  Read, Remember, and Rely on this next little saying...
                       This and These take the T's                             That and Those do Not

Accessing Your Inner Spanish Accent or...Sound as Good as You Look!

It's a fact...If you do not like the way you sound in Spanish you are not going to speak it...chances are even if a mouth watering churro is at stake!

So let's fix that right here, right now with some fabulous tips to accessing your inner Spanish accent.

Tip 1  Get a Tutor!  I know, I know, but again ten fold, ten fold!  But this time choose a tutor based on their accent.  If they don't sound melodic when they speak Spanish then they are not the tutor for this mission. Keep in mind, your tutor does not have to be a native speaker just one that has taken the time to actually master the accent.  So when you are what I like to call "proofing" a tutor, close your eyes and ask them to tell you why Spanish is the Language to learn!  If you don't feel as if you have suddenly transported to the incredible beaches of Playas then again, this is not the tutor for the mission!

Tip 2  Start to really practice the vibrant pronunciations of the alphabet, numbers, and vowels i…
