CLEP Spanish

[Maniac Craniac]

I do think that your background in French will help you learn Spanish.

Agree wholeheartedly. Most Spanish words are very similar to either French or English, almost all of the same verbs are irregular and both French and Spanish use subjunctive in almost all of the same circumstances. There are of course major differences (no preterit tense in French, passed tense uses an auxillary verb) but it really isn't a huge jump from French to Spanish in either reading or writing. The challenges are speaking and listening- the former of which has no bearing on the CLEP exam, the latter, relatively few questions.
