I think the table that shows the suggested schedule and deadlines is an excellent way for me to stay on task and make sure I am turning in my assignments on time. I also think the number of assignments we are turning in is a comfortable amount. I took one language class and was so overwhelmed with the number of assignments I was tempted to drop it!

# data[].attributes.body
I think it may be too early for me to say what is “not working well” in the class. However, one aspect of our class that I look forward to doing more of is writing in Spanish outside of the assignments for VHL.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not mind working on assignments that involve more writing in Spanish. The VHL homework is great, but I feel a little challenge of writing my own sentences without too much assistance will improve my writing and my incorporation of the vocabulary. Also, maybe doing an activity where we say a group of vocabulary words and record ourselves and get feedback with whether or not we are pronouncing the words properly would be really beneficial.

Using Post-Its to Practice Formal/ Familiar Greetings

# data[].attributes.body
I have a suggestion for practicing formal and familiar greetings. I put two different colored post-its on the wall and write “formal” on one and “familiar” on the other. Then I have someone say a greeting in English and I practice it in Spanish. I look at the “formal” post-it and repeat it in Spanish and then do the same for the “familiar” one. I hope that made sense!

I learned the difference between definite (el, la, los, las) and indefinite articles (un, una, unos, unas).

That is a win in my book!

Denise Ignacio-What I learned- Can Spanish be gender neutral?

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the article and the discussion for is Spanish can be gender neutral. The simple change with adding "e" can cause controversary. While using the phrase " les soldades" is grammatically incorrect compared to los soladados." It sparked a conversation among the latin communities about the use of their language.

# data[].attributes.body
While I like the VHL assignments, I wish we had more lectures or videos to supplement the material. Especially for week 1 the VHL homework was overwhelming. We were thrown into phrases a lot sooner that I thought when we barely covered the vocabulary. So more practice with vocabulary and common phrases in the course would be helpful.

Since we do not have the ability to speak to classmates and our professor, I have trouble learning the pronunciation of certain words or phrases. So I have been watching movies or shows that have spanish speaking like Spanglish or Jane the Virgin (if anyone has telenovella suggestions please let me know). Also, since this is the start of our language journey, repetition is helpful is establish the foundation like vocabulary and common phrases.

I feel that The homework load and material given isn't overwhelming. I doesn't feel like it is busy work just to give us something to do. I feel like I actually have learned or accomplished something when I complete assignments. Another neat fact is that work isn't due in the morning. I can submit it later in the day which is nice because of my extremely busy schedule.

I feel as if there are no issues. The only thing I have to improve on my end is remembering that I have VHL or to finish VHL. I say that because everything else is on canvas. So when I open up Canvas and see I have 0 things to do I sometimes forget I have to do VHL.

A topic that I feel as if I better understand is the idea of introducing gender neutral words to the Spanish language. It was a topic that I don't think I have ever come across but I got to learn about.

# data[].attributes.body
Pablo M. Cuevas
I would like to say that I haven't had any issues. An idea I would have is maybe more videos or a video on how different places speak Spanish or different words that they use to show how beautiful the language is and how it is more than just learning a language its a gateway to hundreds of cultures.

# data[].attributes.body

A tip that I use is making flash cards on what I find to be difficult. When I have some down time or even at work, I take them out and study a term or topic for at least 5 minutes. A little goes a long way.

Anthony Perez: The way most of the VHL site is structured seems to be helping in organizing or planning how I spend the week tackling the homework/reading the text. It gives me a way to quantify my tasks. It is helpful too that each lesson corresponds to a certain part of the chapter.

Anthony Perez: For me what I am having a harder time connecting how the chapters relate to the VHL homework.

I think I would learn better if there was more to read per section/per chapter that I could then apply to the homework.

Last week I learned about the different customary ways to greet friends, family members and new acquaintances from different Spanish-speaking countries. In general, it's common for Latin Americans and Spaniards to greet one another with one or two kisses on the cheek. It also varies between gender and region.
Speaking of which, I also enjoyed reading the article about gender-neutral language. It provided great insight on the changes of the Spanish language.

I really enjoy watching the animated tutorial videos. I find them really helpful while beginning a new section of the lesson. I am able to practice speaking Spanish, while following along with the videos. I think it would be great to include more videos.

Reading, repetition and practicing pronunciation has been working for me so far. I also started to practice at work by speaking Spanish with my coworker. Even if I don't know how to say a phrase or word correctly, I ask her to correct me so that I can keep practicing. I think the more we are able to practice by speaking with others or even listening to Spanish through songs, movies, etc., the easier it will be to learn the language. I'm looking forward to seeing what study tips work best for you all.

Anthony Perez: The VHL homework is engaging and helps me to understand how the lessons in each chapter section are applied, but I think I would benefit from supplementary tasks/assignments. From past Spanish classes, writing in a notebook that went with the main textbook helped reinforce the concepts and gave me a way to practice other than solely using a keyboard.

Anthony Perez: For me I have found it helps to reinforce the subject matter/ pronunciation of words by reading out loud each question and each answer. I havent done this part yet, but the next thing I want to incorporate is going through past assignments/lessons and seeing how well I can complete the assignment a second time. This way I can read the answers and hopefully get a better understanding for the concepts and logic behind the grammar.

So far, I do not have any complaints. I actually think that this is my favorite class so far. I enjoy the type of work that we do and I really enjoy our group discussions as well. The discussions make me feel less isolated because I am taking all online classes so it does tend to get a bit lonely at times.

Something I learned last week would be the gender neutral Spanish terms. I had no idea that those were even a thing until I read the article last week.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember back in high school my Spanish teachers would incorporate songs as learning material. I found that my listening to a song, it helped me memorize things a lot better like the preterite song for example. I also enjoyed the dance party assignment we did. Activities such as that one are a great way for me to discover new Spanish songs and learn how to keep up with the fast pace of the songs.

# data[].attributes.body
I actually am the worst person to ask this question to. I have a lot of trouble concentrating when trying to study but I do find that being in a quiet area or maybe even a coffee shop like Starbucks helps. I always need to have a snack or a drink in hand too when studying. I find that it gives my hands something to do while my brain is soaking up information.

# data[].attributes.body
Some things that are working well are that the class is very organized. and how everything is due on specific days every week. it helps me stay more organized. i also like that the VHL is unlimited attempts so it helps me learn from my mistakes.

The VHL program is great for learning, I feel organized with the website lining up your assignments for you in order. This keeps me organized and not overwhelmed. Having this online course helps especially when you have a tight schedule. The due dates are easy to make to where you can go at your own pace and not have to rush.

# data[].attributes.body
The one thing that isn't working for me is the lack of practice of speaking and listening to the language. I feel like actually speaking the language to other people learning could help learn to speak better and get more comfortable with it.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to count to 30 and back to 0 in spanish, I also learned how to give basic greetings and tell the time.

# data[].attributes.body
One idea I have is making the text be able to read back to you in spanish so you know how what you're typing sounds like.

# data[].attributes.body
Tips i've learned from learning this language and others, is to read out what you're typing or writing so you can make it easier to listen when there is a video or someone speaking to you

# data[].attributes.body
The things that work best for me in the class is the amount of resources there are to learning. For me, learning a language fully online and asynchronous is proven more difficult than anything, so being able to read the notes and listen to pronunciation helps me.

# data[].attributes.body
So far the class is going well. I would say this is a more personal problem. Despite the class having deadlines, it is still up to me to make sure I’m learning everything properly. My time management isn’t doing well.

# data[].attributes.body
From last week’s lesson, the most interesting thing I learned was the progression of gender neutral terms in the language. Having English as my first language, we were taught of they/them as a neutral term when speaking about someone, but knowing Spanish can be easily changed to fit the times we live in was interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I think should be implemented is use of audio and pronunciation. The VHL and lessons offer some form of help when pronouncing, but when I try to learn new words I’m not sure if I’m saying it correctly.

I like to study in small time frames over a long period of time. For me this works best because learning something for too long has me jumbling everything into a whole mess. When I can’t think clearly on it anymore I take a quick break, or refresh myself with a different class for a while.

Trust that you can do the class and trust that it's just another form of speaking. The class will get easier if you just give the Spanish language a chance. Practice syllables and other hard-to-say words often and eventually you permanently cement them into your brain!

I'm really happy with the way things are going with my assignments right now. It's such a relief to have fewer tasks to worry about and more flexibility in my schedule. In the past, I've often felt overwhelmed by the amount of work that was expected of me, which left me feeling anxious and stressed out. But with fewer assignments to complete, I'm able to focus more.
