My teacher answered any questions I had, commented on all my submitted work, and even sent me links for extra practice if I was ever struggling with a subject. I feel like my teacher did everything in his power to help me in this course. I don’t think there was much more he could have done to help me.

I watched a lot of recommended videos and went to recommended practice sites. During the videos I took very good and detailed notes that I knew I could look back over later. I also used the practice sites to test my knowledge on the subjects and how I was doing on them. In the future I could most definitely make flashcards to improve my Spanish learning. I usually make flashcards, but this course was so fast-paced I decided not to.

I really enjoyed the consistency of the course. There wasn’t too much variety of the schedule so it was easy to coordinate what to do and when to do it. I also enjoyed being able to go at my own pace. In my last Spanish class I felt like things were going so slow and we did so much repetitive book work. This was the complete opposite, and I am so thankful for that.

It was definitely different for me. I have done online classes before, but not like this. I feel like the other classes I have taken online were easier because they weren’t a language. There were times that were easier than others, but I just stuck to it and worked my hardest.

I hope to learn more vocabulary. I know we have only scratched the surface of the words in the dictionary. I would really love to learn more words because then I could have more of a variety when I speak Spanish.

I find it so cool that they have so many festivals. In the United States we only have really big festivals around Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and other big holidays or events. However, in Spain they have festivals all the time. I also find it awesome that they go home for lunch for a while. That is a way for them to see their family and have a good break. I really feel like we could use that in the US because I feel like family values has gone downhill. In my personal opinion, I feel like Spain has a vibrant, lively, and colorful culture.

The Spanish language has masculine and feminine nouns whereas the English language doesn’t. There are a few words in the English language that are masculine and feminine. For example, king and queen are masculine and feminine. The Spanish language also has accents/accent marks whereas the English language does not. The Spanish language also encourages double negatives whereas in English it is seen as poor grammar.

Mi escuela en España era muy grande. También vistimos uniformes. La escuela en España fue muy divertida. Tuvimos que íbamos a casa durante dos horas en el almuerzo. Así que pude veía a mi familia. Extraño mi escuela de español.

Mi apartamento era muy grande y extravagante. Me encantó todo el espacio que teníamos. Solo había tres habitaciones, así que tuve que compartía una habitación con mi hermana. Ella era divertida, así que estaba bien. Tuvimos que limpiábamos el apartamento todos los días. No me gustó eso en absoluto.

Mi familia era pequeña. Mis padres fueron Edgar y Elena. Eran muy inteligentes, agradables y divertidos. Tuve una hermana, Antonia. Y un hermano, Antonio. Antonio era el más joven, así que lo miramos mucho. Extraño mi familia mucho.

Realmente me gustaba jugar fútbol en España. Perdería mucho, pero siempre me divertí. Me hermana estaría en mi equipo todo el tiempo. También me gusta tomaba fotos. En España, tomé fotos de mi familia, mi escuela, mi apartamento, mis amigos y la arquitectura. También me gustó escuchaba música en España. Realmente me gustó escuchaba flamenco.

Todas las mañanas mi mamá y yo íbamos al mercado de pulgas. Aquí compraríamos frutas frescas. Luego, por lo general, íbamos a la carnicería a comprábamos carne para la cena. Luego fuimos a la panadería a comprábamos pan. Normalmente sería nuestra cena porque me gustaba mucho. A veces comíamos pollo y arroz para la cena, estaba delicioso.

Mi madre, mi hermana y yo iríamos mucho al centro comercial. Mi mamá compraría ropa de trabajo. Mi hermana compraría collares y aretes. Compraría ropa cómoda y barata. Mi madre compraría mucha ropa. Ella siempre pagaría en efectivo. Sé que ella gastó mucho dinero en mí.

I have learned to talk about my family, my apartment/house, daily activities, cleaning, food, music, occupations/jobs, staying in shape, cooking, shopping, school, and to travel. I think I use the shopping concepts and to talk about my family concepts the most. There were times I was at the mall with my sisters and I would say some things in Spanish about shopping, and they would be so impressed.
