Mi tiempo en España era muy divertido y interesante. Yo asistí una escuela en Madrid. En la escuela, yo aprendí muchas cosas. Yo tuve que tomar la clase de matemáticas, la clase de ciencias, la clase de historia, la clase de Ingles, y la clase de Español. Mis profesoras eran muy informativas y inteligentes.

Yo viví en un apartamento en la ciudad de Madrid. El apartamento era en el centro de la ciudad. Yo encontré mi apartamento en un periódico, y yo tuve que renté lo. Mi apartamento era cómodo y amplio.

Mi familia anfitriona era muy simpática. Yo viví con ellos en el apartamento. Mi padre sabía hablar el italiano y el español. Mi madre sabía hablar el francés y el español. Mis hermanas sabían hablar español. Mi familia anfitriona iba al parque para hacer un picnic en los Domingos. Yo pasaba mucho tiempo con mi familia anfitriona.

En mi tiempo libre, yo caminaba en la ciudad y iba a muchas tiendas. En los fines de semanas, yo iba a la heladería para compraba heladas. También, yo iba a la panadería y el centro de salud en mi tiempo libre. Yo iba a ver partidos de fútbol en los fines de semanas.

Me gusté la comida en España. Me gustaba comprar las frutas y las verduras en el mercado en España. El mercado tuvo las uvas, los plátanos, los aguacates, los frijoles, las zanahorias, y mucho mas. En España, me gustaba comer en los restaurantes en España. En los restaurantes, yo pedía las milanesas, las paellas, y arroz con pollo. Eran muy deliciosos.

En mi tiempo en España, yo compraba mucha mi ropa en las tiendas. Yo compraba mi ropa en la tienda de ropa y compraba mis zapatos en la zapatería. Yo compraba muchas cosas en liquidación. También yo compraba muchas cosas en el mercado aire libre. Yo compraba artesanías, cerámicas, y muchos recuerdos también.

Cuando yo tuve que salir España, yo volé en un avión. Yo conseguí mi tarjeta de embarque en la agencia de viaje. Yo fui al aeropuerto y abordé el avión. El avión, desembarcó con destino a Los Estados Unidos.

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

# data[].attributes.body
Spanish and English are very different. Spanish is not as straight forward with sentence structure as it is in English. Spanish is not able to be directly converted to English. Spanish usually has to have words rearranged in its sentences, so it is basically impossible to go directly between English and Spanish. Spanish also uses verbs differently. Infinitive verbs in Spanish have to be conjugated using different endings based on who is doing the action. This is very much unlike English where the verbs are more straight forward.

I am very interested in many of the cultural aspects of Spain. Their architecture is very cool, and I’d love to go there to see it. I am also very interested in the open air markets. There are no open air markets where I live, so I’d really enjoy going to some of those in Spain and experiencing them. I am also very interested in the food in Spanish culture. The Spanish food looks delicious, and I’d like to try some of it.

What do you hope to learn if you continue to study the Spanish language?

# data[].attributes.body
If I continue to study Spanish, I would like to try to become more fluent. If I get asked a question and need to respond directly in Spanish, I am slow to put an answer together because I need to become more fluent with the language. I also hope to learn more Spanish vocabulary words. I would like to learn more architecturally related words as well as more culinary related words. Those are my biggest goals if I continue to study the language.

Learning Spanish in an online class has been a very different experience for me. I am used to being able to just raise my hand and ask a teacher for help, but it is very different online. I have to text or IM my teacher to ask for help, but that isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s just different. Overall, the experience has been very good. I’ve enjoyed my time learning Spanish in this class.

I liked the way Canvas works. It is easy to navigate, and it is easy to make it through the content. All of the presentations go into great detail about the course vocabulary and grammar. This makes it easy to learn and go back to past concepts for review. I did not like having to do the RLCs. This is mainly because I had limited access to Internet, and it was hard for me to complete these assignments. Having the RLCs is a great idea. It is beneficial for students to see and hear the content straight from the teacher. This is helpful to students, but it is hard to do these with limited Internet access, but I do think these are a great way to learn the content.

The best things done to help me learn Spanish in this course were watching the presentations on vocabulary and grammar. This was the most effective way to me learning the language. I also tried to refresh the content in my mind regularly. This kept the content fresh in my mind so that I wouldn’t forget it easily. In order to improve, I can become more organized with my work. My notes and vocabulary lists were very scattered and disorganized. I could have used them more effectively if I had them organized better.

My teacher always reached out to me to ask if I needed any help. She checked in with me regularly to see how my day was going and how well I was learning the language. This was extremely helpful to me throughout the class. My teacher always did everything well. There was never anything that she wouldn’t do to help.
