They will put you in good stead when you begin your course in September.

Write a diary of all the things you do during your summer break in Spanish. Use this task to explore new vocabulary and use different verb tenses.

Revise verb tenses regularly. Use websites such as Conjuguemos or spanish.language&culture.

Read the News in Spanish on News in Slow Spanish or BBC News Mundo.

Watch as many movies as you can in Spanish with subtitles in either English or Spanish. Make sure you understand what they say and make notes of new vocabulary making your own lists on Quizlet.

If you love music, listen to music in Spanish on lyricstraining and complete the lyrics as you listen to your favourite music.

This booklet has been prepared by MFL staff for you to read and the suggested activities contained in it will ensure that you get off to the best possible start in this subject area.
