Exploring Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this class I had opportunities to learn about and explore a variety of Spanish-speaking cultures. Among those opportunities were Talkabroads, projects, Immerseme lessons, and discussion boards. I found that some of the most rewarding were the Talkabroads I did, as it allowed me to speak with a person from one of those Spanish-speaking countries directly. Below is one of the mentioned Talkabroad conversations, focused on influencers and customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without reading this poem, there are many aspects of the author’s life and culture that I would never have known otherwise. Consuming different media and experiencing different cultures firsthand allows me knowledge and understanding of different people that wouldn’t exist had I not reached out for it first. Opportunities like the one given for me to read “Nuyorican Tales” offer me a glimpse into these unique communities which I would one day like to experience more personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpersonal Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this class we were assigned a variety of interpersonal assignments including Talkabroads, Flipgrids, and discussion boards. Of these, the most striking ones were the Talkabroads, as they allowed me the opportunity to speak with a native Spanish speaker, while both Flipgrids and discussion boards were confined between my classmates and I. Below is the first of two Talkabroad conversations I completed this semester, focused around stereotypes and the concept of identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reading in particular was quite challenging for me. The vocabulary given to us for this unit revolved around this excerpt, but even with that there were many words I still did not recognize. To overcome this I had to read the excerpt over very carefully, and use as much context as I could to come up with an approximate meaning. I found it interesting to know that this is how Spanish authors write, since this is from a real autobiography and I rarely have contact with extensive Spanish writing that was not created for the sake of an assignment. With this reading I became better able to read Spanish fluently and quickly. It made me develop a sense of empathy for the author when I finally completely understood what he meant when he wrote this section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
