How to prepare for the Spanish Praxis.

Spanish Majors preparing for the Spanish Praxis, here are some tips. Also, paste my blog somewhere convenient so that you have a ready source of authentic high quality sources to read, watch, and listen to. You have always loved learning Spanish, so run with that! Set a goal of reading at least one newspaper or magazine article / story / several pages from a book by a favorite author of yours every single day in Spanish. Listen to Spanish every single day in the form of music, telenovelas, movies, t.v., audio-books. The best listening and reading practice are the media that were not designed for second language learning, but were designed for native speakers of the language. Read for pleasure and meaning only. If you aren't enjoying it, you won't keep it up. So, pick something you would normally enjoy reading in English, but read it in Spanish. Find a Latino music artist or t.v. show that you love. Have CNN en Español feeds coming into your Facebook account and only read what really interests you. Also, read aloud at home to get your tongue and mouth comfortable speaking Spanish.
