 * [|wordreference]
 * I strongly recommend that my students use this online dictionary when looking for words in Spanish (or any of the languages it offers). This website is useful because it gives explanations of the full meaning of the words, instead of just a quick translation. Also, on the wordreference forums, you can pose a question to Spanish-speakers around the world and get their feedback.
 * [|Flashcards on Quizlet]
 * I like this website for making online flashcards. Once you create a log-in and type your list, you can study from any computer. You can also share your lists with friends, or even study from your phone. If you plan to use this website to complete a homework assignment, please create a username that involves your name.
 * [|Vocabulary Practice on Conjuguemos]
 * This website organizes vocabulary lists by theme or topic. Choose one and look at the "flashcards" link to see a list of the words (you can even print them out and fold them to create your own flashcards, if you would like). After you know the list, try out the "games" links. The more practice you do, the more quickly you will know these words when you need them.
 * [|Vocabulary Games on Woodward Spanish]
 * This website features many quiz games to practice specific vocabulary lists. I would suggest practicing mainly from the "Intermediate" list, but you might start with some from the "Beginning" list to warm up.
 * [|Verb Drills on StudySpanish]
 * Use the menu bar on the left side of this page to create your own conjugation quizzes. You can choose to practice different types of verbs (AR, ER, IR, irregular, etc) and different tenses (present, preterit, imperfect, etc). You can also set how many questions you want in your quiz and whether or not you want to include "vosotros," since it isn't necessary for our class. When you have finished, the computer will grade your quiz for you. This website is great for practice before an exam or just for some extra review to keep your skills sharp.
 * [|Verb Drills on Conjuguemos]
 * This is another excellent website to practice verb conjugation. You can select the type of conjugation you wish to practice, whether or not you wish to practice regular/irregular verbs, and even give yourself a time limit. Make sure to change the subject pronouns to "all but VOSOTROS".
 * [|Reading Comprehension on Quia.com]
 * These readings are a bit below the level of the Regents exam, but they are good practice for the multiple choice element. You can automatically check your answers as well.
 * [|Articles on Woodward Spanish]
 * Under "Spanish Reading Passages," there are many articles that are about the level of the articles you will see on the Regents. Unfortunately, there are no multiple choice questions, but if you can understand these articles, you will have a good sense of the difficulty of the Regents.
 * [|Past regents exams]
 * This link takes you to copies of Regents exams from past years. You can print out your own copies and use them as practice exams, if you would like.
 * [|Spanish Proficiency Task Videos]
 * These videos are organized by tasks. So, for example, you can listen to many native speakers explain how old they are, or answer questions about their jobs. Practice your comprehension by listening, then checking the English transcript to see how well you understood.
 * [|Spanish Learning Lab]
 * Choose one of these videos to learn more about how to use basic vocabulary and complete speaking tasks in Spanish. Then, at the bottom of each explanation, there are one or two listening quizzes, to measure your comprehension.
