Hola, mi nombre es Amiaya. Vivo en Los Estados Unidos. Soy estadounidense. Mi cumpleaños es el cinco de febrero.Tengo clases español, matemáticas, historia, y ciencias. En mi clases escucho, aprendo, y tomo notas. En mi mochila tengo lápices, cuadernos, y mi computadora. En mi clase hay sillas, escritorios, y una pizarra.

Mi casa está en el campo. Mi casa es grande y hecha de ladrillos. En mi casa hay cuatro dormitorios, tres baños, una sala, una cocina,  y un comedor. Hay camas, espejos, escritorios, comodas, y telesiones en los cuartos. Tengo un padre, una madre, un hermano, y dos hermanas. Soy una deportista delgada y baja. Mi padre es ingeniero y mi madre es maestra.

Después de la escuela voy a practicar básquetbol. Los fines de semana pasé tiempo con mis amigos. Juego vóleibol y básquetbol. Este fin de semana voy al cine con mis amigos y mi familia. Mi comida favorita son la ensalada con frutas. Para mantener la salud yo como muchas verduras y frutas. Cuando voy al restaurante mi comida favorita es el postre. En el supermercado compro comida, jabón, champú, loción, y más. Me encanta comprar ropa. Cuando hace frío llevo pantalones, camiseta, y un abrigo. La ropa cuesta sesenta dólares en total. En mi ciudad hay muchos lugares para ir. Viajo en carro y autobús.

What differences have you seen between the Spanish language and your native language? What did you find interesting and exciting about the Costa Rican culture? One of the biggest differences I have realized between these two languages is grammar. I have always heard people say it's easy for us Americans to learn Spanish but it's hard for others to cope with our language. About their language it is interesting to me that some of their words are based on gender.

What do you hope to learn if you continue to study the Spanish language?
I hope to learn more about how to conjugate verbs and use proper endings on words because that's something I struggled with.

What things did you do that helped you learn Spanish in this course? What things can you do to improve your own Spanish learning in the future? I think one thing that really helped me during the course was first my amazing instructor, but also the amount of notes I took. I think to improve my Spanish in the future I can try to do more things in Spanish like read more of it or watch some movies in Spanish. Just to help me better cope and adapt with the language.

What things did your instructor do to help you with your learning? Was there anything that your instructor didn't do that would have helped you? My instructor was very helpful. He kept us posted with daily reminders also with sites to help us better understand the lesson. He also always tried his best to help me with any question I came across.

We have learned elements of a language in a different teaching/learning style than you may be used to. Talk about your experience with learning Spanish in an online class. What did you like about the course? What did you not like and/or what could be improved? Trying to learn Spanish online was a big challenge for me this year. I am a very hands on and visual person so I think it would have been a little easier for me if I was in the classroom. Overall I love the course and the layout of it. The optional practices really helped me prepare for the quizzes, and the live classes helped me prepare for the unit I was studying. The only bad thing I would say is sometimes it was hard for me to make the meetings because they were late at night when I had things like after school practice, church, and even taking care of my baby sister.
