LAST MINUTE TIPS: GCSE Spanish Speaking

[@AStarSpanish]

Honestly good luck with the exam but please remember to enjoy it, the whole thing lasts around 25 minutes! 🍀 For longer videos on GCSE Spanish Paper 2: kzbin.info/aero/PL6o0h5mgHmGWSzqcNWzrDnFowc3gD-HpF For our GCSE French YT channel: www.youtube.com/@astarfrench Any questions let me know! My real exam 2 years ago was on the 26th of April (and I got 59/60 haha, still no idea how, or where I lost that 1 mark)

Would you be able to make a video of common GCSE vocabulary that often appears in exams or would be absolutely essential to know?

[@AStarSpanish]

I have some Anki videos coming out! But you need to really know all the ‘generic’ vocab for your exam board, it’s all on my shared Anki decks

[@bobbytolley8608]

have mine tommorow- well- today looking at the time lol

[@a123-n3s]

hii do you have any good synonyms for and 'y'? and also any higher level phrases to use when describing the photocard I heard if you want to get a grade 9 you need to use different tenses and give an opinion for the photocard but I'm not sure?

[@AStarSpanish]

use connectives like también, además, sin embargo! and for the photocard I have a PDF with high-level phases on my website!

@@AStarSpanish hi sorry my speaking exam is tommorow and I can't find the sheet sorry what is it called?

[@AStarSpanish]

it’s on astarspanish.com/gcse

@@AStarSpanish thanks so much xx

[@piqueblinders7303]

if the role play states "you should address x as usted", does the verb in the question (?) have to be conjugated in the usted form. Or, can you still get full marks by using the you singular form?

[@AStarSpanish]

Mark scheme says non usted form is perfectly fine!

[@piqueblinders7303]

@@AStarSpanish OK, thanks a lot!

[@chillaxolotl7983]

Thanks for the video! What was your chosen theme and do you have any specific tips for that theme?

[@AStarSpanish]

I chose theme two when I did it

[@Blubullsbrawl]

mine is next tuesday and (thanks to you and james) I might not be cooked!!!

[@AStarSpanish]

Good luck, thanks for acknowledging James, he’s made some great videos for the channel as well!

[@Blubullsbrawl]

@@AStarSpanish thanks and np, James really saved me with that tenses video 😅

[@m.w5651]

Thanks so much

[@n1amhh_x]

hey! thank you for the tips my exam is tomorrow at 8:45! im not so sure how the chosen theme works? my teacher made me pick theme 2 and i had to preper these flashcards with 10 questions and answers, are these the exact questions that will come up on my exam??

[@AStarSpanish]

Yes they are! Good luck, and you will get 1 other theme as well in the second half of your conversation! Reply back tomorrow at let me know how it goes :)

[@Yellow_stars1505]

I’m in year 8 and I have my Spanish speaking on the 5th of June I’m so scared ( if your wondering why it’s exams in year 8 my school have exam week every year for every year)

[@AStarSpanish]

cool! good luck!

[@pythonian9977]

Wait does that mean for other Year 11s they have their ACTUAL GCSE speaking right now?

[@AStarSpanish]

Yeah why when’s yours?

[@AyeshaAzmat-ei4cv]

what question should we ask the teacher at the end? like should it be related to the themes or anything out of the blue?

[@AStarSpanish]

Must be somehow related to a theme, but 'y tu?' works perfectly as well!

[@AyeshaAzmat-ei4cv]

@@AStarSpanishoh right, thank you xx🙂

[@divineolabode1707]

You're a tad(a day) too late but i watched your other viideo so it's fine. Thanks anyway

[@AStarSpanish]

How was the exam?

[@divineolabode1707]

@@AStarSpanish Good actually, thank for asking. I think i might have done similarly to my mocks (i got 57/60) so i'm expecting minimum 56/60
