In the first Talk Abroad session I talked with a woman from Ecuador about our families. In the second Talk Abroad session I talked to man from Honduras that now lives in Mexico about our favorite foods and what we do to keep up our health. I also engaged with my classmates in discussion board posts on a variety of topics, including health and healthcare systems, culture, family, and food from the US and the Spanish speaking world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gregory Ross - La Familia by Gregory Ross\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1317945103&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=1000\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gregory Ross - La Buena Salud Y La Comida (U7 -U9) by Gregory Ross\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1317945004&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=1000\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Talk Abroad assignments were the most challenging for me as I was not as prepared as I could have been and I was nervous when speaking with my collaborators. I do feel I did better on the second one than the first, which they are in proper order above, and I feel I am becoming more comfortable speaking Spanish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the discussion posts I got to learn about how my classmates interpreted the reading and why they did so based on their responses, and the class has a very diverse set of ideas, opinions, and backgrounds which helped a lot in learning more about how different people view the world. I am better at writing in Spanish than I am speaking Spanish, as for the reasons noted before. After completing these activities and other discussions with my classmates I know that I am not the only one having difficulties which makes me feel like I am not alone in my learning experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This semester we utilized the Talk Abroad website to connect with native Spanish speakers from around the world.
