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

Looking back on my time in general of taking college level beginning and intermediate Spanish courses, both excited me but also left me pondering on what obstacles I might come across while doing so; \u201cIs this going to be as easy as the previous levels of Spanish? Or will it be harder to point where I\u2019ll struggle and fail the course?\u201d I hope to someday become a Spanish interpreter to help those that only speak Spanish communicate with those that don\u2019t. Granted, even after completing both beginning Spanish 1 and 2 I was able to gain more than just a decent amount of Spanish under my belt, even after finishing this course. It even pushed me to learn French! I knew that I had a lot to learn in order to understand the Spanish language and culture, it excited me to the point I was eager to learn new vocabulary, phrases, and to boost my confidence when it comes to speaking said language to others. However, there were times where I struggled with Spanish assignments. It\u2019s honestly true of what they say about doing anything in general; whether trying something new or gaining an experience, it\u2019s not going to be easy and that\u2019s what makes it a challenge. And even with those times where I felt giving up and quitting altogether, I continued to push through and kept trying. For me, that helped with understanding cultural perspectives was completing assignments in Lingrohub\/LingroLearning and just taking the course in general. Yes, the website\/textbook was there to help keep tabs on our Spanish skills but there would also be times where it talks about people from different Spanish speaking countries, explaining how things are in their country.\u00a0For example, in Argentina, throughout history artistic manifestations are a faithful example of social, political, cultural processes among others that have gone through different types of societies in different parts of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

With TalkAbroad, It was like a zoom meeting but meeting and connecting with a variety of people from different Spanish speaking countries. During my freshman year, I\u2019ve never heard of TalkAbroad until continuing my path in Spanish. But now after using it, again this year, I was able to fully flourish meet very nice people, granted you\u2019ll have to schedule an appointment ahead of time to do so but other than that it\u2019s pretty straight forward with every step. With my second time using TalkAbroad, I was nervous about my first meeting. Granted, within the first few minutes, I did fine but as the meeting progressed and questions were being asked, I kept trembling over my words and felt lost and disappointed in myself. With that being said, I was determined to do better with my next meeting and that I did. It\u2019s true what they say about practice makes perfect, I took my time and practiced my Spanish anytime I could get and even wrote a practice script of what I would say before so. And the more I studied and practiced, the more I felt ready and sure of myself. With that being said, what helps me excel in Spanish is being prepared ahead of time instead of at the very last minute. The first time, I was a rambling mess and the second time I was a lot more prepared and did better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Unfortunately It’s not allowing me to upload the audio(s) of my talk abroad meetings.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Over the course of time with taking Spanish is that practice, patience, dedication, and confidence are all essential especially when it comes to speaking. For me, I always had the fear that if I were to be in a situation that required me to speak Spanish, that I would mess up and say the wrong things. With that being said, I had to keep in mind that it\u2019s okay if you make a mistake as long as you keep trying and that you\u2019re not going to know or get everything right on the first try, if you do then that\u2019s good. What challenged me was keeping in mind that there\u2019s a difference between writing and speaking, yes with both you\u2019re showing what you learned and how well you perform in said unit or topic. For me, writing and speaking has its moments depending on what\u2019s being asked, written wise; I\u2019m able to really look back and check for any errors to prevent future miscommunications while as for speaking, it happens right in the moment, it\u2019s all on you to keep up. But the good thing of it all is that communication is key otherwise, how else are others going to know how or figure out the best way to help. For this speaking piece, I did a project on vlogging my time in Mexico, all while describing the things I did while I was there along with the places I went to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I feel like as time goes on, with taking Spanish or any language for that matter, is that practice, patience, dedication, and confidence are all essential either for writing or speaking. With that being said, I had to keep in mind that it\u2019s okay if you make a mistake as long as you keep trying and that you\u2019re not going to know or get everything right on the first try, if you do then that\u2019s good. What challenged me was keeping in mind that there\u2019s a difference between writing and speaking, yes with both you\u2019re showing what you learned and how well you perform in said unit or topic. For me, writing and speaking has its moments depending on what\u2019s being asked, written wise; I\u2019m able to really look back and check for any errors to prevent future miscommunications. What helps me to excel in Spanish is if needed is to ask for help and feedback on my work, I find it helpful and beneficial if I didn\u2019t how else would I know if something needed to be fixed or if I was making a mistake. For this written piece, I did a project on a style guide for fashion model as their stylist\/agent. The editing and creating it wasn\u2019t an issue, it was keeping in mind of all of the instructor\u2019s expectations while being creative. I can honestly say without a shout of doubt writing down any new phrases\/vocabulary has and will always keep me on top of my Spanish; memory wise. And I hope it’ll apply for when I start with learning French. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I feel like with any language whether it be in Spanish, French, German, Italian, or whatever the case maybe you\u2019re pretty much guessing what that other person is either saying, feeling, or thinking. Throughout the course, there would be times where we had to listen to what the speaker would say based on their tone and mood you could get an idea of what they\u2019re saying, same thing applied for class interviews with the instructor, what I always kept in mind was paying attention to the following; tone of voice, body language, and just listening in general especially if a question is being asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like what was challenging was overcoming the fear of saying something wrong or just getting embarrassed. But after experiencing it a couple of times, I\u2019m not as anxious as I was. In fact, I feel a lot more confident and sure of myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I truly stand by this description, with that being said I feel like this is what helped me to push myself and excel in learning Spanish. While learning any language is a thrilling experience but also keep in mind that practice, patience, dedication, and confidence are all essential whether reading, writing, or speaking. The thought of reading in Spanish sounded extremely difficult versus reading in English same as if it were a song or anything things else that was in a different language. But after taking Spanish for as long as I have and continue to do, I\u2019ve grown to like reading in Spanish, it kind of reminds me a puzzle when reading something new like \u201cCan I guess what this means?\u201d I can honestly say what helps me improve on reading in Spanish, is practice by reading aloud the words to the best of my ability. Granted, over the course of time, I\u2019ve struggled with reading in Spanish time to time but what really helps is hearing how the words are properly pronounced and practice saying them. You\u2019re not going to know or get everything right on the first time but as long as you give it your all and keep trying, you\u2019ll be just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
