Ms Sosa made me forget how to speak French. we rarely wrote and she only taught us vocabulary. she would give us a ditto with words, and the have us look up the translation online. this can be helpful but when you're given 40 words to look up in 5-10 minutes, you're more focused on finishing the ditto rather than learning the words. she then gives you more dittos to work on from the vocab that she previously gave you, and expects you to learn everything on your own through these sheets. anything not finished in class is homework, and in a full year I did not get one lesson in French from her. however, we learned a lot about French history. I would have liked it if I was taking a French history class, but I was trying to learn a language and I felt like the class was not geared towards actually developing French. I spent most of the year frustrated during this class, because I felt that I wasn't learning anything and the class only wasted my time. Ms Sosa is an amazing person to talk to, however. she is very wise and sympathetic, but her advanced French class is a waste of time.
