This has all been very helpful. First off the reason I suspect I may have a learning disability is because most of my family has had severe dyslexia, including my dad and my sister. In addition tests are 45% of my grade in Spanish class so if I get around a 60% in that, and then I get near !00% in all the other subject areas I can still get a B-. Now I think I’m going to go to the disabilities counselor at my school, but I’m not sure now what I should tell her and what I should be asking her. Should I be asking her for a foreign language learning disability diagnosis or a whole other diagnosis? I will admit that in English class especially I have a lot of trouble with grammar rules and vocab quizzes, but I’ve been able to get past them since these are things I practice almost daily when I’m writing papers/reading something etc. Also about getting outside help and meeting with my spanish teacher, me and my spanish teacher meet weekly and their she tutors me. I don’t know how well it’s working but I’ve stuck to it.
