Me llamo Zoey. I am from Portland, Oregon originally but have lived in Klamath Falls for the entirety of my life. I have an interest in foreign language, though I always have trouble when it comes to conjugation. I'm finishing my Associates of General Education at KCC, and I have a Chihuahua named Kyro!
Hi Zoey. Welcome to class! Have ever studied a foreign language before.  I have 2 pugahuas (pug + chihuahua). The boy looks more like a pug and my girl is more a chihuahua. She can be really noisy! lol ]]> 2019-04-01 20:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/raquelpoteet/u5uvxwri54vj/wish/347390024 504300 https://padlet.com/raquelpoteet/u5uvxwri54vj/wish/347396307 Hello everyone! As you can see above, my name is Jade Huffenberger. I am 25 years old and am halfway done with my Associate of Science degree. I am married, and have an almost 3 year old son named David and am 22 weeks pregnant with a (recently found out) little girl! We decided to name her Violet :) I live in Klamath Falls, and have lived here on and off since 2007.  For fun I like to read, take walks with my son, and discover fun little activities for us to do now that he's becoming more and more curious of the big world around us. I'm excited for the weather to get warmer, but walks in the rain are still fun too! I have lots of family that speaks spanish, so I thought this would be a fun and useful class to take. I'm excited to expand my knowledge in Spanish!
Hi Jade. Welcome to class! Congratulations on your pregnant and I love the name Violet. Is your last name German? That's great you are going to be able to practice your Spanish with your family. ]]> 2019-04-01 21:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/raquelpoteet/u5uvxwri54vj/wish/347396307 https://padlet.com/raquelpoteet/u5uvxwri54vj/wish/347404548 Hi Dylan.

I moved to Klamath Falls from Hawai'i about 6 months ago and got to experience my first winter here. I'm taking this class because Spanish is a popular language and useful to know. I turn 21 in a few months which I'm pretty stoked about, and in my free time I like to play with my dogs and be outdoors.
Hi Samaijah (That rhymes with papaya). Welcome to my class. Wow, winter in Klamath can be pretty hard. It was very difficult to me for being a Brazilian. However, spring and fall are fantastic. ]]> 2019-04-02 00:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/raquelpoteet/u5uvxwri54vj/wish/347430462 https://padlet.com/raquelpoteet/u5uvxwri54vj/wish/347436031 My name is Kody Edens.
