Should I stop taking Spanish?

Post Reply New Topic

I want to be fluent in Spanish, but I'm on scholarship and Spanish is one of my worst classes. I'm on my third semester and I definitely can't drop out now because it's already past midterms. But I have 90's in all my other classes and a freaking 78 in Spanish. That's gonna drag my GPA way down. I've come close to losing my scholarship in the past. It's a combination of struggling with the grammar, forgetting to hand in homework or check if I have homework, and being late to class. For some reason, I only have the lateness problem with Spanish class. It's not a problem with the professors, and I've had it at different times in the day. Maybe it's a coincidence. But I'm torn between really wanting to be fluent in Spanish, which would help me with employment, and really not wanting more debt than I already have. I've tried to bring my grade up, and it works temporarily, but then I'm back to high 70s. I have no idea what's wrong with me. Is there an alternative to formal classes (that isn't as expensive as formal classes)?

It's great that you're asking for some help here. I would recommend you to improve your language online. There are so many opportunities to do this. Don't forget to watch movies in Spanish and to communicate with native speakers. Good luck!
