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

In this course most of the work was through lingrolearning. This website had many modules that helped me gain insight into Spanish culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what I learned in the modules, the Spanish-speaking world is as baffling as the English-speaking world. For example, for some reason, they are confused about why men make more money and receive more attention in sports. Sport is a discipline where people showcase their physical prowess, so obviously testosterone helps. Furthermore, there was a module about LGBT rights in different Spanish countries. I find this dreadfully boring topic to be void of any real Spanish culture I could have learned. I had no stereotypes or misconceptions that I worked through because I refuse to change my belief system so easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging in Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have engaged in Spanish communities and found them pleasant and similar to English communities. The languages are different, but Spanish-American culture is not that foreign to Americans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In this class, I engaged in an activity called Talk Abroad. This was an exciting opportunity to talk to Spanish-speaking individuals from different countries. The conversation went by fast, and the people were helpful. I found it to be an engaging and effective exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the talk about activities, it was sometimes difficult to remember what words mean. As the class continued my Spanish skills developed. One thing that helped was the first project. I had to describe a picture of my family. It required me to speak Spanish for three minutes. I think I was good at getting better at word memorization due to the interpersonal exercises. Next time I would try to learn more words to make it more fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentational Speaking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this class some exercises required presentational speaking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the exercises required a conversation that someone would have in a restaurant. This was an excellent opportunity to use Spanish in sentences. It was hard to construct the sentences; however, when it was completed I think I was good at pronunciation. This was challenging, but it helped me overcome my weakness, which is speaking Spanish in sentences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentational Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

there was a project that required making a pamphlet that informed people about illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was challenging because It required the use of commands. It was essential to tell people what they should do and avoid. It was very helpful for learning commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpretive Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class was mostly in Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The professor spoke Spanish for most of this class. This was helpful to train my brain to understand Spanish. Before this class, I had trouble differentiating between words in Spanish. It all sounded like one long word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpretive Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a lot of reading in this class on lingrolearning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading was helpful when the learning the objectives. Vocabulary and Grammer are important, but so is forming sentences. Reading was essential for learning sentence structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
