Hey, all!
Here’s an interesting article supporting Firefox and reporting on a possible virus/worm on the horizon due to Windows/IE implementation of .jpeg files (picture files). Take a look, read, and weep…
Just another reason to switch to a Mac and to abandon Internet Explorer for good and make the switch to Firefox today!

¡Hola, Español 1!
Remember not to do any work from el libro de cuentos (storybook). We will return to the stories hopefully next week. Until then, PRACTICE your vocabulary!
Hasta luego,
Profesor Benedict
So, tomorrow’s Wednesday…
…have you studied your Spanish today?
Wednesdays are such nice days for quizzes… don’t you think?
Who knows. Will it be heads or tails?
Only time will tell.
Better get to that studying…
I know you only did 9.37 minutes when I told you to do at least 10.
Don’t cheat yourself. GET BACK TO WORK!
‘Til tomorrow…
What will it be… heads or tails?

To get the flashcards, go to Español 1 or Español 2, then click on Handouts. Once there, move down to CapÃtulo 1, and then click on Vocabulario Cards. You will need Adobe Reader to view and print the cards. It’s available free at Adobe.com.
Once you’ve printed out the cards, you must DRAW a picture for any word that a picture can be drawn. If it is physically impossible to DRAW a picture that represents the meaning of the word or phrase, then, AND ONLY THEN, may you write the English equivalent. Otherwise, no words on the backside, only pictures.
If you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to email me!
¡Hasta luego!

Hey, Guys!
The key to being successful in my class is to study your vocabulary at least 10 minutes every day. Concentrate on the words you’re having trouble with and do not spend more than 20 minutes studying your vocabulary.
If you are still having difficulties, please, oh please, come in to see me before it becomes too late!
I can’t help you unless you are doing your fair share and that means doing the homework and keeping up with your studying.
Let’s work together to make this a successful year! We can do it if we work together as a team!

¡Hola, Español 2!
I’ve turned off the emailing of scores because some of the emails were not getting to me if you guys were sending at the same time. Still continue to press the send button and I will get a list of all names and your scores each day. This will save the email problems that some of you have been experiencing.
Buena suerte,
Profesor Benedict
Current High Score on Conjuguemos.com is still Ms. Shravani Reddy. Hers is the score to beat. There was a score slightly higher (118/126), but because the time shows 00.00, it is disqualified. It needs to show me 5.00 minutes to qualify to make it fair for everyone.
So who’s going to beat Shravani! Are there any takers?
Bring it on!
Profesor Benedict
¡Hola, Español 2!
So far the score to beat is 104/108 of the Present-tense Irregular Verbs. This score was acheived by our own Shravani Reddy!!! Can you beat her!

Hola, my Spanish 2 students!
Now that you’ve practiced on Conjuguemos.com a couple of times, what do you think? Do you think it helps you practice? Do you think that it is boring? Is it a better way to practice your verbs rather than worksheets or would you prefer worksheets?
Submit your comments below. Don’t be shy. Honest answers are appreciated even if they are negative. Tell me what you really think!
Profesor Benedict
Ok, guys!
For those of you who weren’t paying attention 
or forgot, in order to get the vocabulary cards to create your flashcards, you need to first decide whether you are in Spanish 1 or 2. After you decide, go to that section of the sidebar (off to the right) and click Handouts under your particular level.
A new page will load. Move to the section that deals with Chapter 1 and click on Vocabulary Cards. A file should automatically download. You will need the FREE Adobe Reader to view and print the cards. If you don’t already have it, you can download it free from Adobe.com.
