My suggestion: If you want to keep practicing with the language, try to do at least a couple of activities every week. One week you watch a song and read a piece of news, the following week you watch a cultural video and an episode from a TV show, and so on. This way you will do at least two authentic language activities per week and you will vary the kind of practice exercise. These activities are meant to help you practice the language and have fun. Should you decide to do them, turn them in to me at the beginning of next school year, just to show me what you enjoyed doing and what you learned.
