Worried about Spanish 3?

I’m not exactly a superstar in Spanish, and I’m currently a sophomore in Spanish 2, I have heard many horror stories from Juniors at my school in Spanish 3 about the teacher who REFUSES to ever speak any English in the class EVER, the listening and speaking aspect of Spanish is my weakest point, I’m decent at memorizing vocabulary and conjugations but simply I am terrible at listening and speaking in Spanish. A lot of people in Spanish 3 at my school have really bad grades besides the native Spanish speakers.

I know that most good colleges like to see or even require 3-4 years of a foreign language, Spanish is the only language at my school and I have heard of so many horror stories about the horrific teacher who doesn’t care that her students are failing and just starts talking in Spanish on the first day of school and expects students to just pick it up. It’s even worse because in the first two years of Spanish we don’t even do any listening and speaking, we just learn conjugations and vocabulary and maybe listening to an audio tape on occasion, but I’m not at all ready to just be thrown into a class with a teacher talking in Spanish who cares less if her students do well or not, Spanish is already my weakest subject.
