I have learned a lot this year from this course. Spanish and English have many cognates, such as actor and actor. However, there are many differences too, like how there is not an a.m. or p.m. in Spanish.
The most interesting things I learned about Costa Rica this year were its food and climate. I really liked learning about all the recipes that are native to Costa Rica.
If I continue to study the Spanish language I hope to learn more words to help me communicate with other students at my school and get fluent when I read.
When I started Spanish this year, I thought I would be in a classroom, but I was pleasantly surprised to be in this online course. Everything was at a very good pace and I was able to follow the schedule to get all my work done. Overall this was a very good course and I don't think there need to be any improvements.
This year in Spanish, I took notes on vocabulary and grammar, these notes helped me study for various quizzes and speaking assignments. In the future, I think I should take more grammar notes because that is the area I struggle in.
Mr. Alvarado was a very good teacher this year. Every time I had a question he would answer very quickly and help me through my problem. He always had videos in his announcements that would help you through what we were learning this week. He was a great teacher and I hope his students next year enjoy him as much as I did.
