Homework: Learning a second language is demanding. Depending on your goals, a minimum of 30 minutes a day is recommended. To help the memorization of the vocabulary words and grammar rules, different exercises have been developed for this class. There are recordings for the vocabulary words, or the lesson of the week, the student can listen and repeat what he hears to develop his speech; quizzes on Moodle; and of course, the exercises from the Student Book. Quizlet sets can be developed for some supplemental help. Students will need a headset and the ability to record their homework for speech grading.
