Cuando yo era en España muchos aprendí cosas. El primero cosa aprendí era como las escuelas trabajó. Las escuelas es abierto a todos las personas pero los estudiantes y los padres pagan para los materiales escolares. Las escuelas toman un siesta después del almuerzo. Yo me gusté los tardes siestas pero tuve volver la escuela después de mi siesta.
Mi Casa en España era un apartamento. Mi apartamento tenía cuatro dormitorios, tres baño, un cuarto de familia y una cocina. Yo tuve un dormitorio pero compartí un baño con mi español hermano. Mi español familia y yo vivimos en Madrid. Mi apartamento era en la calle de Santiago.
Mi familia en España eran muy simpáticos. Mi español padre trabajaba a el banco de madrid. Mi español madre era una medica y trabajaba a el hospital. Yo tuve un hermano y una hermana mientras en España. Mi hermanos su nombre es Brian y tiene 17 anos. Brian le gustaron fútbol. Mi hermanas su nombre es Grace y tiene 15 anos. Grace le gustaron el tenis y el voleibol.
Yo tuve muchas pasatiempos mientras viví en España. Mi favorito pasatiempo era ir a las montañas pescar. Me gustaba pescar porque las montañas eran bonitas y similar a las montañas donde yo vivo en el Estados Unidos. Mi hermano gustaron sacar fotos y enseño yo como sacar fotos de animales.
La comida en España era muy bien. Mi madre no cocina porque ella es muy ocupada con el trabajo. Mi familia y yo comimos a muchos restaurantes pero mi favorito comida era de un restaurante el centro. Servían Español y americano platos. Yo usualmente pedía para un hamburgués con queso pero mi favorita platos era ACP. ACP es Arroz con Pollo y es muy bien pero es muy caro.
Los mercados eran mi favorito cosas en España. Las personas eran muy simpáticos. Ellos siempre tenían interesante y útil cosas esos eran hecho a mano. Los Personas vendían muchas frescas verduras y frutas. No me gustaba supermercados porque eran muy ocupados con personas.
Mi vecindario tenían muchas de lugar y cosas ver. Los marcados eran en el norte calle, los templo en el este calle y un cine en el sur calle. Mi comunidad tenían muchas restaurantes todos donde. Mi hermano, mi hermana y yo viajamos en nuestros bicicletas mientras en pueblo. El parque y las montañas eran lejos de mi comunidad. Yo extraño España, mis familia y comunidad.

After Spanish 2 I am now able to you use and express events in the past tense. I am able to do this by using the Imperfect and Preterite conjugation forms of verbs. This is one thing that makes Spanish much easier to write because I naturally want to write in these past tense forms. The use of the imperfect and preterite tense allows me to express almost anything in the past. It also allows me to describe situations in the past.

I hope to learn how to speak Spanish more fluently because Communication is a very important thing in today's society. Being able to communicate between different languages spreads knowledge and equalizes the two different sides. More directly, I want to become a mechanical engineer and specialize in renewable energies, Which means that I might have to travel to south and central American countries if a want to do mission work, so being fluent in Spanish might would be useful in my future.

I really liked the Markets and Food that we learned about. I really liked the markets because they resemble farmers markets that we have in the US. I enjoy visiting Farmers markets and the Idea of self-sustainability that they invoke in people. The Food was also fun to learn about because I enjoy a good meal and also cooking. I think it is important for people to appreciate food and where it comes from. This course helped me learn a lot about Spanish markets and food.

What differences have you seen between the Spanish language and your native language? 

# data[].attributes.body
The main differences I have seen between the Spanish and English languages is structure and tenses. The structure of Spanish, to me, really builds off of the nouns or subjects in a sentence. The subject(s) in a sentence can change verbs and adjectives to match who does it, their masculine or feminine forms , and the number of subjects in question. This honestly coveys a lot to a audience with only a few words. The Tense can also change how something is written. We do change the Tense of things with -ed and -ing, but not to the depth that Spanish does in my opinion.

My teacher would always try to push me to stay on track which was a big help for me. She also always kept a great, welcoming attitude which made me feel less stressed and more capable to handle to material presented. She would also answer my questions when I needed her to and present very good information in her announcements. If I had to be honest, I don't think I would have done this well in the course if I didn't have Senora Chaney as my teacher. She is a great teacher and really helped me push through the course.

Things that helped me learn during this course was reviewing vocabulary lists ( from both Spanish 1 and 2), downloading course presentations, and watching senor Jordan videos. This things made it easy for me to expand my vocabulary and learn how to use it correctly. In the future, I believe that writing and reading Spanish works would push my vocabulary and learn more Spanish.

I like the individual freedom that this course gives you. I also like how you have access to you grades, work, and materials at any time. However I did not like the repetition of the practice test. I do not believe in busy work and that's what the practice activities and quizzes felt like. Especially since some of the same material was on both the actual test as the practice test. Also, while I stand on my soap box, I would find it nice if the Hablar assignment audio recorders would slow down their speaking parts. I would usually slow down the recording to 75% their normal speed, but some words would break up and Id have trouble Speaking them.

My experience learning Spanish in an online course has been great. The course is a very detailed course designed to teach around the student. I am a very active student and Spanish would have been hard for me to learn in a classroom, But with online Spanish all the resources, work , and teachers can be taken with me anywhere I need to go. I enjoy learning like this because its easy to access help and materials at your own pace/ time frame.
