LANGUAGE PRACTICE

For every hour of language class that our students take weekly, we recommend an additional two to three hours of practice outside of class. Some of that practice and review will be assigned homework, but students must also find additional means of practice. Here are some ideas and some links that we recommend.

  • Listen to music
  • Watch a show with subtitles and no audio
  • Watch a show with audio and no subtitles
