listening practice

This will be the audio I will base the listening exam on Thursday NOV 12th. Some of the activities will be similar to the ones expected to pass the exam (only easier, I won't use prices that much, but clothing and colours).
By training to this text you should be able to hit a good mark. When done with the practice, visit the previous posts of this blog to do some past tense training, there will be a couple of questions in your final exam.

Instructions: click the link below, watch the video (you can also add subtitles if you wish) and then go to the bottom to the "actividades interactivas" and test your comprehension in the interactive guide.
Some clothing words are new. I won't use those in the exam. You have a hard copy to guide you through the activities.

Spanish verbs and how it works

Online tutorials verbs:

If you still have doubts about how the Spanish language changes the ending of verbs to create different tenses, there is a nice tutorial online to understand better.
As mentioned in class, verb conjugation will add bonus points to score higher in the exam, however, not all students are used to the patterns. Once understood and after practising for a bit, it ends up being very predictable and easy.

I have also posted more self-paced practice on the Y9 group in Quizlet for you to test your knowledge.

I add two visual links, but there are other sets on the y9 folder. You just have to join Quizlet to start practising (tests, racing tests and scores across schools!)
