SPA112ON... MIA

Not surprised at all at the number of missing folks today... trust me if I could have been absent, I would of have been. :) Much Love to those that showed and MUCH LOVE to those that contacted me and gave me the heads up that you wouldn't be here... I really appreciate that notification :).

Here's the deal... we have to get ready for a test. Today we reviewed a practice test and we're not ready.

I need you to review:
Stem Changing Verbs... e-i and o-ue
Direct Object Pronouns
Negative and Affirmative
Hace que...

Next week, we'll do a GRADED in class PRACTICE test and I'll give you the next graded speaking assignment. The following week we'll have an online graded test and your speaking assignment will be due, either recorded in class or emailed to me via youtube or webcam... ok?

I'll post the practice test we did today, so that you can see what we did in class and have more material to use when you study.

I've also posted the links to the podcasts of the notes, just in case you missed them.

Interrogative, Negative, and Affirmative
Hace que...
Stem Change Verbs o-ue and e-i
Direct Object Pronouns

Hope this helps.
