What things are you now able to express in Spanish that you have learned in Spanish II (concepts)? (in English)

# data[].attributes.body
After taking this online Spanish II course, I am now able to express many more things in the Spanish language. Things including people, places, items, activities, etc. Before coming into this online Spanish II class, I didn’t know any Spanish because I never learned much in Spanish I. The resources weren’t there like they were provided in this online class. The unit 1 review is definitely what help me the most in this course. The links provided helped catch me up and get back on track. We have learned things in this online class such as preterite tense, past tense, imperfect tense, to past and present progressive. I really enjoyed taking this class online because I was able to go on my own pace while still having due dates and getting things done and turned in on time without having to stress out about them.

Mientras estuve en España, hice muchas actividades. Todo empezó cuando mi escuela ofrecía un viaje de aprendizaje a España. Mi mamá y mi papá dijeron que podía ir, así que la escuela me preparaba con una familia anfitriona. Me embarque en el avión, y esa fue la última vez que estuve en América por un tiempo.
Llegamos a España, donde mi familia anfitriona me saludó. Eran tan agradables. Tenía dos hermanas y un hermano. Me enseñaron todo lo que necesitaba saber sobre España. Todos asistimos a la escuela juntos. Me enseñaron a leer y escribir en español, con la ayuda de mis padres anfitriones y maestros.
En la escuela, tomé matemáticas, español, historia y ciencia. Fue tan genial aprender todas las cosas diferentes en España! Al igual que en América, usted puede tomar inglés en España. Eso está muy bien. Mis hermanas y mi hermano y yo jugamos deportes después de la escuela. Mi hermana y mi hermano jugaron al fútbol, yo jugué softball, y mi otra hermana estaba en el equipo de natación.
Mi familia y yo salimos al menos tres veces a la semana para comer. Mis padres restaurante favorito estaba en la esquina de nuestra cuadra. Era comida mexicana. Mi plato favorito era el pollo loco. Mis hermanas y mi hermano me encantó el helado frito de postre! Me gusta cómo nos trajeron patatas fritas y chapuzón antes de que nos dieron nuestra comida.
Mi pasatiempo favorito en España era la tienda! Me encantó la tienda Desigual, era mi favorito. Los favoritos de mis hermanas eran Custo y Zara. A todos nos encantaban los colores brillantes. Usar colores brillantes en España no es normal, de hecho, te hará destacar.
Nuestro apartamento estaba ubicado en el centro. Teníamos un parque de perros, y un parque de niños justo al lado de nuestra casa. Teníamos un perro que cogimos allí todos los días. Le encantaba ir al parque. Mi madre contaba historias sobre cómo llevaría a mis hermanas anfitrionas y hermano al parque cuando eran más jóvenes. Era su lugar favorito para ir.
Me encantó la comunidad. ¡ todo el mundo era tan agradable y divertido! Todos me hablaban como si me conocieran. Camareros y camareras eran mis personas favoritas. Siempre bromeaban conmigo. Me lo pasé muy bien en España, no puedo esperar a volver!

There are many differences between the English and Spanish language. For example, Spanish nouns have a gender, el for masculine and la for feminine. Also, capitalization and punctuation are two main things as well. In English, there is only punctuation at the end of a sentence. In Spanish, when asking a question or making an exciting statement, there is punctuation in the beginning of the sentence AND at the end. Days of the week, months of the year, and languages aren’t capitalized in the Spanish language.

I honestly thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Spanish culture. It was very neat learning the different ways of life that people across the world live on a day-to-day basis. I, of course, love food. So that was definitely one of my favorite things to learn about. If I ever traveled to Spain, it would be a MUST to try if not all, most of the food there. Also, the most exciting topic to me was the sights of Spain. I love traveling, and Spain has some of the best views from what I’ve seen and learned in this course. It would definitely be amazing getting an opportunity to travel to Spain.

If  I continue to learn Spanish, in which I more than likely will because I will be furthering my education in college, it would be cool to be face-to-face with someone who speaks the opposite language. At North Carolina Wesleyan College, close to half of the school is foreign, or, from a different country so I will have every chance possible to take up this opportunity.

One thing I really enjoyed about this online class was the pace of it. I’ve taken two classes previous to this Spanish II course online, those being Forensic Science and English, and neither one of them had as good of a pace as this class offered me. We had several assignments due, but they were due every Friday which made me have the ability to space out my work and know what I was going to complete and on what day. Also, in the classroom, the teachers don’t provide the feedback like you, my online teacher did.

One thing that I really liked about this course was that I was always able to go at my own pace. In the classroom, I also ran into the issue of finishing my work to early because I would like to get my stuff done and not risk losing my work on paper. The best thing to me about this specific online class (Spanish II) was that the weekly work was not due until every Friday @ 11:59. That gave me the perfect opportunity to apply myself and work without rushing on a daily basis. The one thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the fact the the live classes were required. Although there were multiple of them provided per unit, it was hard timing wise to work around your schedule especially with this being an online class as it is.

One thing that was a really big help to me in this course was the links offered by the teacher as well as the practice grammar assignments! These two things, as well as the live classes, had a very big impact on my grade in a good way this semester. Each of these things gave me a better insight on what I needed to know and learn to be successful.

I strongly believe that my teacher did everything possible in her power to provide to me the best and most reliable resources available. I would say that my teacher, Ms. Richardson, went above and beyond to help me out as a student. She often sent us texts to check on us and keep in touch as well as provided feedback to every single assignment in which helped tremendously.
