APPS

You can find all topics in your book, along with the main vocabulary and a variety of tenses. Plus it is your own work. Make use of it!

Create flash cards for each topic with useful sentences. Write the Spanish on one side and the English on the other. Practice with a friend or by yourself.

Mind maps will help organising your thoughts and will show a clear picture of each module. Use the vocabulary booklet to help you select the most important words.

They contain a wider variety of language and you can decide which topic to focus on. Some options: Quizlet, Memrise, LanguagesGym. And of course, ActiveLearn!

It is often a struggle to find realistic listenings activities suitable for GCSE. Listen to Slow News in Spanish at your own pace and with some translations available.

For those who use their phone daily, apps such as Duolingo or Babbel is another good alternative to keep their Spanish active.

Y obviamente… Ask your teachers. They are there to help.

One key message: CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Revise little and often.
