Spanish

My brother and his friend are studying now for their spanish final tomorrow. They have conscripted me in their last-ditch effort to memorize every single vocab word they encountered over the year as well as all of the grammar rules and verb tenses they studied. There was a lot I learned in 10th grade spanish that I don't remember at all. Words like dehydrated, summer vacationers, and dam just don't have any real use in everyday conversation. The teachers really need to figure out how to streamline the curriculum, or at least how to make it more interesting.
