My GCSE Spanish Teacher is Total Crap and I don’t Learn Anything From Him?

Chris asked:
I do GCSE Spanish and I don’t learn anything from my teacher. He is French, and I can’t understand his accent when he speaks English, and it is confusing when he speaks or writes things on the board such as “how would be the environment?” All we do is copy off the board and do some sheets, and we don’t learn anything at all. I thought my Spanish tecaher from last year would do GCSE because she was really good and I learnt a lot from her but she left at the end of last year. He is the only Spanish teacher in the school as all 3 of the other spanish teachers left the school. He never answers anybody’s questions and sometimes can’t understand the questions we ask him because he is French. He gives out detentions to people every lesson for doing nothing and send people out and sends them to lesson exclusion for the smallest things. Luckily I manage to stay out of his way, but I haven’t learnt anything this year in Spanish. It’s now 6 weeks into the term and we haven’t even got past page 10 in the text book. I don’t know what to do as my gcse’s are really important to me and I don’t want to fail because of the teacher. What can I do?
There is only one Spanish class in my year because he is the only teacher. Thank you for your answer

I Want To Learn Spanish
I had this problem in Year 8, and it’s actually the reason why I chose to drop Spanish.
Try to talk to your head of languages/head of year about it, and see if you can be switched into another Spanish group (assuming that there is more than one Spanish class in your year~)
If you don’t want to do this, or it’s not possible, I would suggest either buying some Spanish revision guides (from somewhere like WHSmith’s) or possibly getting an out of school tutor~
Hope this helps! ^_^
