shreyas.murali Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I suggest you take Spanish ab initio. Because firstly it's easier than French, and secondly , it's pretty evident from your grades, no offence, that you don't really like French. Plus, Spanish sounds awesome Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerlove Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 If you dislike French, go for Spanish, but French B isn't all that difficult (in my experience, at least). Good luck, whatever you choose Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Well it's obvious you don't like French. And you seem to want to do Spanish instead. So I'd do Spanish. Spanish is fun It's a bit harder in the sense you are starting from scratch whereas in French B you have some background already, but French is quite similar to Spanish (both are romance languages and Latin-based) so you have a slight advantage already. For your ab initio oral you have two parts. One is in a group, and the other is a short conversation with your teacher where you have a picture and you describe it and answer questions about it. For your language B oral you also have two parts. One's in a group. The other part is a teacher conversation, but it's a bit different. Here you have about 3-4 minutes to present a topic of your choice (related to the French-speaking world though), 3-4 minutes of answering questions about your topic, and then 3-4 minutes of free conversation with your teacher. Buena suerte! Edit I may or may not be biased since I take Spanish B HL Edited October 16, 2011 by emyski Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie.dough.love Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 do Spanish ab inito, you're more likely to get a better grade, especially if you put more work outside of school Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
