Hola astar Spanish teacher 👋 I watched your videos the night before my Spanish speaking mock exam and got the 2nd highest in my whole Spanish class - and it was a grade 9 too ☺️ I just wanted to say thank you very very much for your hard work, you’re doing a great Job! 👏👏👏

thank you so much for the tips i watched the video this morning but honestly was so shocked on how difficult the listening was, honestly the worst one i’ve done but reading was better !!!

So glad!

[@qlqprs1330]

Tysm for the video (especially as u have ur own exam but still helped us) How many marks would you need in each listening and reading paper to get a 9 ? (for edexcel)

[@attakon6452]

spanish exam tomorrow i cant thank you enough

[@adora_1]

thank youuu hope urs goes well

[@lxvelycatuwu]

Omggg Tysm bestie I watched this yesterday night and Tysm for the new vocab! I loved the word paisaje now in my writing exam I can say la paisaje estaba tan hermosa, sobresaliente y inolvidable! I did aqa higher tier btw! Omg but girll the translation question was acc hard tho 😭 is conseguir to need something? And also it was like hay que admirar what does that mean?? There is the admiration?

[@animator2146]

bro why does the listening for AQA sound so heavenly, we don't get the same treatment in Edexcel 😭😭 They be picking people with the most thick accent that start talkin at light speed. Im cooked fr

[@AStarSpanish]

hahahaha

[@OilRig-1]

aqa make up for it with how horribly specific the mark scheme is…

[@amykane6]

good luck for ur a level exam !!

[@Beansontoast425]

Astar Spanish Sir do you have any more tips for Spanish listening its my worst one out of the 4 I got a 9 in speaking but I’m really scared for listening

[@AStarSpanish]

unfortunately not! try your best is all I can say! listen carefully, put your hand up if you can't hear the speakers properly!

[@milliecooke1]

common sense also plays a huge part in it. If you take the example that we just did in the video : if you had already finished the part a.) and the positive boxes (bueno) had been filled in, there would only be the two negative (malo) boxes left so the other topics that you herd must be negative etc. I'm taking my exam as well but don't worry - its 100% possible to score a 9 without knowing all the vocab. As long as you know verb endings and conjugations so that you can understand the tense - the rest should come naturally. Hope this helps and good luck :) Reply

[@milliecooke1]

@@Beansontoast425 no problem! i sit the Edexel IGCSE's paper, so its slightly easier as both of my papers are calculator (yes i only have 2 papers) so it was relatively easy i'm hoping for a grade 7 so hopefully i get there :)

[@Beansontoast425]

@@milliecooke1 oh right I do the normal Edexcel paper damn it was difficult at the end but overall I think I can get atleast an 8 hoping paper 3 is good

[@gamingwithizzy7375]

listening was great!- i only dropped 3 marks but completely understood everything else reading was a little tricky- i think i lost 7 marks across the paper(3 in translation) hopefully i can clutch up with writing and get a 9!

[@randomyoutuberlol693]

Is it still possible to get a 9 for listening without memorising every single word on the spec?

[@milliecooke1]

yes - i think so, common sense also plays a part in it.
