Strategies to get to the next level (adapted from ACTFL/AAPPL Score Descriptions):

Interpersonal Speaking/Listening- When you answer questions, try to use more than one word and even a phrase. Practice asking questions and keep learning new words. Practice asking more questions on more topics.

Interpretative Reading/Listening- Try to understand by looking for clues such as pictures, titles, words you recognize, words that are similar to words in your own language.

Presentational Writing- Practice writing words and phrases. Make lists.
