My teacher was awesome! I really liked the daily announcements and how they always had some helpful resource or guide to help with certain Spanish ideas within our course. I liked the Wednesday texting subjects and how she tried to make the announcements fun and related them to current events. Many of the resources she provided helped me and I enjoyed the class with her as an instructor. I would have liked to have had the chance to attend one of her RLCs because I was not able to.

The things that helped me the most within this course were listening to Spanish being spoken within the quizzes and vocabulary activities. I picked up on listening to the Spanish and now find it easier to pick up words and phrases within actual conversations around me when Spanish is being spoken. I did not do well with the writing, but learned from the vocabulary videos. In the future, I could watch some Spanish television programs or news and try to pick up on words. I already have some and was astounded at how much Spanish I could actually pick up on and understand. By doing this in the future, I could pick up on more and widen my knowledge of the Spanish language.

I liked the independence of the class at first. I liked being able to work on my own and now have to worry about a teacher looming over my shoulder. I did not feel pressured, but I did not like the far away distance of the teacher. Texting and messaging worked to get in contact, but that does not beat the actual presence of a teacher in the classroom. If I were to take more Spanish, I would probably take it in class instead of online, but I would definitely take another NCVPS class, just not a language class.

Learning a language online is definitely different than learning it in a classroom setting. I took Spanish I in a classroom with a live setting and I feel that I learned more effectively that way. I enjoyed taking this course online because I could go at my own pace and was provided with many helpful videos and resources. I like the idea of learning on my own, but the up-close communication and help/teaching style of the in-class instructor helped me more than this online class. I am glad I took this online because now I have experience with NCVPS. It was an overall enjoyable experience and I feel as if I have learned a lot. I appreciated the calendar to print out so that I could keep on track with when I needed to have assignments completed and turned in.

If I continue to learn the Spanish language, I hope to learn more complex sentences. I am able to form very simple sentences and express the main idea of what I am trying to say, but I would like to be more fluent. I would definitely be interested in being able to listen and understand what is being said when people are speaking quickly. Often times I can slow down the sound enough to understand, but you can not slow down a person's conversation. I would like to be able to clearly communicate with my boyfriend's family, who all speak fluent Spanish.

I think that the food in Spain is very interesting because I love food. I love to hear about the different kinds shared in different types of cultures. I would be very interested in trying food from Spain at some point because it sounds tasty to me. I find it fascinating that there are so many ancient historical buildings/centers in Spain today. The shopping there seems very similar to shopping in the United States.

I have noticed that the adjective comes after the noun in the Spanish language. In English, we place the adjective in front of the noun it is describing. When I first started with Spanish, this confused me, but I have learned to understand it better throughout my Online Spanish II class. I have also noticed that double negatives are necessary in Spanish. In English, we do not use double negatives because it does not make sense. In Spanish, they are used, and sometimes triple or quadruple negatives are used.

¡Hola! Buenos días. Me llamo Emma. Yo soy petisa y amable. ¿De dónde es usted? Soy de Carolina del Norte. Me gustaba cantar, caminar en el parque, escuchar música, comer y pasar tiempo con amigas en España. No me gustaba nada bailar. Me preparé en la mañana cada día. Me peiné, duché, cepillé los dientes, sequé mi pelo, lavé mi cara y vestí. Yo era un miembro del club de fotografía en escuela en España. Yo era un miembro del equipo de natación. No me gustaba nada levantar pesas en escuela. Mi primera clase era la clase de historia mundial. La próxima clase era la clase del cálculo. No me gustaba las matemáticas. Mi última clase era la clase de la química. Tuve que tomé apuntes, entregué la tarea y aprendí en escuela en España. Encontré mi apartamento en un periódico en España. Mi apartamento era muy amplio. Tenía que daba de comer al perro, quitaba el polvo, limpiaba el piso y pasaba la aspiradora cada semana. Usaba una escoba para limpiar el piso. Rompí una lámpara en mi apartamento. ¡Cuidado! Mi apartamento era tranquilo y hermoso. Mi madre en España era alemán. Mi padre en España era francés. Mi abuela era muy vieja y amable. Me abrazaba mi abuela cada día. Me sonreía a mis padres. Mi hermano jugaba con dinosaurios y muñecos cada día. ´El molestaba todo el tiempo. Él no era obediente. Nos fuimos de vacaciones una vez. Fui a la panadería y el acuario cada mañana. Mi mascota era un perro. Su nombre era Javier. Mi hermano tuvo un gato. Su nombre era Juana. Paseaba al perro cada tarde. Escuchaba la música rock y flamenco con mi familia a veces. El flamenco era rítmico. Puse feliz cuando conseguí el empleo. Mi empleo no era físico. Comía los mangos, los melocotones, la espinaca, las piñas, las cerezas y muchos frijoles en España. No me gusta comer milanesa. No tomé alcohol o fumé en España. Hacía la cinta cada mañana. El gimnasio era barato. Mi camisa favorita era la talla de pequeño y azul claro. La camisa era una camisa de seda. Llevaba puesto una pulsera, las aretes y un collar cada día. Gasté muchos dineros cuando fue de compras. Compré una pintura cuando fue al mercado. Mi apartamento tuve un incendio. Mis piernas, pelo y brazo eran quemaron. Los bomberos rescaté me.

Since beginning this semester in Online Spanish II, I can honestly say that I have learned a lot. I know how to say things that happened in the past because I learned about the preterite and imperfect tenses. I learned the Spanish names for different clubs, activities, and actions pertaining to personal hygiene. I learned how to ask how someone is doing and answer simple questions in everyday conversations. I also learned the names of different educational subjects/classes, the actions required for school, adjectives, words pertaining to finding an apartment, household chores, household items, the words for workers, warnings, countries, languages, family members, nationalities, interactions, toys, different celebrations, businesses around town/buildings (church, etc.), different animals, music styles, careers, foods, exercises, cooking items, clothing, colors, sizes, materials, shopping words, different souvenirs, parts of the body, words about traveling/flying, and words about accidents/rescue. I can express whether or not I like something. I can tell about what I have done and what I have eaten. I can talk about relationships between myself and other people.
