<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nInterpersonal Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With adults in other nations, I engaged in two 15-minute talk abroad conversations. Through this opportunity, we were able to demonstrate the abilities we had developed over the previous two semesters while also broadening our horizons in terms of cultural exposure. We talked about where we were from our family, the things we do when we are bored, and some of our favorite dishes during this event. I had the opportunity to speak with a lovely woman. I had a great time conversing with her and picking her brain about herself and her homeland. I had a great day, and this was definitely my favorite thing I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presentational Speaking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With our instructor, we had the chance to have official conversations in Spanish. I found it to be a struggle because I sometimes have speech issues. Additionally, I discovered that if I became very focused on a single phrase in my own mind, it would throw off the rest of my ideas. However, I found that I could hold a conversation far more easily if I allowed the dialogue to run spontaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presentational Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We would demonstrate these skills in our tests and on discussion boards. A discussion post on a Spanish-language video that we were instructed to watch is shown in the first image. We were asked to respond to a question about the video and to confirm that we could understand what was being stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Interpretive Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We had the opportunity to practice interpretive listening this semester through talk sessions with international students and interactions with our professors. This task did a great job of demonstrating what we had actually learned and understood throughout the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interpretive Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Through our tests and discussion boards, we were able to exhibit our abilities in interpretative reading. Some parts would be difficult, but much as in English, I would use context cues and vocabulary I already knew to decipher the meaning of the remaining passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the course of learning Spanish at ODU, I can generally observe my progress from being able to barely speak and comprehend Spanish to being able to speak, understand, and utilize vocabulary effectively. The formal speaking exercises with my tutors and the Talk Abroad community were very beneficial in allowing me to identify both my skills and faults. It was truly a lovely and helpful experience, and I intend to keep improving and broadening my knowledge of Spanish in public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Artifacts In this screenshot, I was learning how to say the alphabet in Spanish. it took me a couple of tries the get where I wanted to be. but when I finally got it, I sounded good and more fluent in saying the alphabet in Spanish.
