How should I structure a year of independent Spanish study?

<p>So I’m a senior in high school, and this year, I’m the only student in our 9-10 level, which is actually an independent study instead of a class. I have a teacher/mentor who I’m working with, but I do my own work as per my own plan. My teacher wants me to develop a plan for the year to outline how I’ll focus on and achieve my goals. I took Spanish 7-8 last year, which was a dual enrollment class at the 201-202 level in a community college. This year, I had originally planned to study for the AP exam, but later decided it would be better to just study to get totally fluent. </p>

<p>I was already semi-fluent in Spanish before, so I need some help as to writing a plan for the year that will help me get fluent. I was considering some kind of plan where I spend each quarter emphasizing some element of language in my practice, like reading, writing, speaking, vocab, grammar, etc. I also live where there’s a large Hispanic population, so I was thinking I could kill two birds with one stone and do some community service in a Hispanic community. Any other ideas as to how I should go about this coming year?</p>

<p>Native materials. You know the basics, and by the looks of it have had them down for years. The only way to really improve now is to devour Spanish books, DVDs, etc. Google “Spanish Only”, that blogger knows what he is talking about.</p>

<p>Have you taken the Spanish SAT II yet? You may want to think about taking it before application season begins.</p>

<p>Community service in the Hispanic community is a great idea!</p>
