¡Hola! Me llamo Elena y soy una estudiante de Old Dominion University. Mi especialidad es patología del habla y en el semestre de la primavera 2022, ¡Yo voy a graduar¡

Yo vivo en Norfolk, Virginia ahora, pero soy de Nueva Jersey, circa de la playa o “The Jersey Shore”. Mi papa es Africano Americano, pero mi mamá es Boricua y entonces yo soy una mujer Afrolatina. Yo tengo un comperendiendo basicamente de la lengua, pero mi gramatica, la structura de mis frases, y cosas asi necesitas practicas.

This class has been a great refresher and even a stepping stone for getting back into the swing of the language. To someone who never had a full understanding of Spanish, due to the way it was spoken around me, and also the lack of immersion I had in it, taking the time to fully learn the in’s and out’s as I would in a typical say, English class in the U.S., was very beneficial to me.

I hope that with the newfound inspiration I have to learn more about the language as well as my culture, I am able to comfortably begin exploring all there is to learn.
