What things are you now able to express in Spanish that you have learned in Spanish II (concepts)?

Some things that I am now able to express in Spanish are school, tasks, food, clothing, and accidents and the response to those. I have also learned preterite and imperfect tense which means that I can now talk about the past and present actions. I have learned irregular and normal conjugations in each of these tenses. I have also learned loads of vocabulary and new verbs. One of my favorite things that I can now talk about is clothing because that is such a broad topic it is

Mi familia en España era pequeña. Mis padres eran muy amable y útil. Tenía un hermano mayor y mi madre y padre. Mi hermano era muy divertido y se llamaba Barry. Él era dos años mayor. Mi familia en España era muy cuidando.

Mi escuela en España era diferente de Estados Unidos. Yo tuve tres clases antes del almuerzo. Un clases de matematicas, biología, y historia. Yo fui a la casa por a hora comer. Yo regresé a la escuela después por un clase de inglés.

Mi apartamento era bueno y que tuvo una cocina y un dormito. Para limpiar me doblé la ropa y arreglé el cuarto. Despues, me planché la ropa y sacé la basura. El próximo dia, me quité el polvo y pasé la aspiradora. La aspiradora usé para limpiar el piso. Entonces me lavé los platos and finalmente pusé la mesa. Por último, me hacé la cama. El próximo dia, no tuve quehaceres.

Mi comida favorita era el arroz con pollo porque muy delicioso. Era muy popular en España. El restaurante que lo servía era cerca mi apartamento. Nosotros íbamos mucho. Yo siempre ordenaba el arroz con pollo y la medialuna por el postre. El plato era similar a los platos en los EE. UU. En EE. UU. tú puede conseguir el pollo con arroz o frijoles. Es normalmente en restaurantes de mexicana. El medialunas normalmente se servían en el desayuno.

El domingo fuimos al Rastro y era fenomenal. Nosotros montamos el tren a la ciudad. Yo vi las pinturas, bolsas, y cerámicas. Mi favorita era las cerámicas de pintado. Era muy decorativo y tradicional, pero muy caro, así que no compré. Yo compré las bolsas en vez de las cerámicas porque era la ganga. Las bolsas era el recuerdo por mi familia y yo. Era de cuero y hecho a mano. Las pintas era muy bonita, pero me no gusté tanto. El Rastro era muy increíble y regresé cada semana. También compré a las tiendas locales por unas ropas. Los productos son hechos de mano y hermosos.

En España mi pasatiempos era jugué al fútbol y bailé. Yo bailé de flamenco en el tablao. Era dificulte pero muy divertido. Jugué al fútbol por la escuela y el equipo ganamos todos el juego. Yo encanté al fútbol y bailé ahora.

La comunidad de España era bienvenida y simpática. Ellos eran siempre ayuda porque era nueva lugar. Yo perdí una vez y pregunté un ciudadano de Madrid. Ellos tuvieron muchos tiendas por ejemplo la pastelería y carnicería. Mi favorita tienda era la pastelería porque yo encantar pan y pasteles. Que era bueno para ver el ayuntamiento y museos también.

I have seen that Spanish is structured much differently than English. It is also different because of the past tenses they have 2 while we only have one. We just use the ending ‘ed’ for most verbs while they use a couple different ones while talking about preterite and imperfect.

What I found most interesting about the culture in Spain was their daily schedule. It is so different from us in the United States its so weird thinking that we can have such a different thinking and emphasis on different things. They think lunch is the biggest meal while we think breakfast is. They also eat dinner much later than most Americans. One thing that is so amazing to me is that kids and adults come home from work and school for lunch and a nap and return a couple hours later. Talk about a nice study break!

I hope to learn more vocabulary and future tenses would be very cool as well. It would also be nice to get more fluent in the language as well. That will just take time and lots of practice. It would also be cool to keep looking at Spain’s culture because it is fascinating to see the differences in two places.

Learning Spanish online was very different from in class, but I think I was just as successful as I would have been if I was in a traditional setting. The one thing I really liked about learning it online was that I could work ahead if I understood the material well and that I knew the structure of the class. I liked how we had to vocab practice, practice quiz, and quiz. Following that we would have a grammar quiz and than writing and listening. I like the structure and that I knew what to expect. I definitely think the quizlets were handy for learning the vocab and reviewing before the quiz as well. One thing that could have been improved was only two or three times the vocabulary lists were linked wrong, but the homepage had links to all of them, so it was not a big deal. One thing that I did to help learn the material is that I wrote out every vocab list because that is what helps me retain and actually look and focus on the vocabulary. I can in the future just go through the vocab at the end of the lesson or unit, so I keep it fresh in my mind and don’t forget it. That would help remember it and building on it as well. My teacher did a good job at correcting my errors and letting me know if I should redo it for better understanding. She also made it very clear when assignments were due and the agenda that was planned for the whole semester helped organize my work very well. She also kept announcements up to date and had little things to introduce us the the lesson for that day. I think that she could have given a little more feedback in some places, but overall it was very good.

I practiced the quizlets for vocabulary to learn it as well as writing down all the lists to recognize the spanish to english translation of the words. What I could have done better was reviewing the practice quizzes before the pruebas because that would have helped me retain the vocabulary better. I can also keep practicing spanish and trying to speak some when I can to keep better.

My teacher was always available to answer my questions and always gave helpful tips as well. She was very easy to talk to and quick to respond as well. One thing she could have done better was to give a little more detailed feedback, but feedback was still good just a little vague sometimes. Overall, my teacher was very good and always super helpful and supportive.
