What should I do over summer to prepare for Ab Initio Spanish?

May as well :) Language learning is an on-going process so starting early will probably help you in the long run.

You can get a book, look online (http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/ and things like that) or if you can get hold of a copy it's quite amusing using the Rosetta Stone software. It's supposedly how diplomats learn new languages quickly and it's quite interactive. It's not going to teach you all the rules of grammar, however.

Duolingo.com!! It is the best website for learning languages by far! There are categories set up like a language tree, so first you have to master Basics 1 and 2, then advance to Animals, Household, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs etc. The great thing is that you don`t just learn some words, and grammar seperately, you have to translate english->spanish and spanish->english in each category, using the new words you are learning + words from previous categories. It`s hard to explain, but you should go check it out.

You also have to listen and write what you hear.
