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

The assignments on Lingro learning helped me to gain more understanding of Spanish culture. The exploraci\u00f3n cultural units, for example, helped me understand how each Spanish-speaking country has different views on the same topic. For example, Vanessa Corzano from Unit 8 is from Per\u00fa. In Per\u00fa, she likes to eat la mazamorra morada because it reminds her of her country. After researching what the dish is, I learned that it is a purple porridge dish with a jelly-like texture made of corn and fruit. Each unit in Lingro learning has helped me better understand Hispanic culture because, with each person describing their daily habits and culture, it made me see how family and staying close together are important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family is very important in my community as well and I think that is also why I understand the values of Hispanic culture. During the discussion boards, we compared cultures in the United States and Spain. I do think this has challenged my worldview of different subjects such as healthcare. The unit where we talked about healthcare really had me thinking because it is completely different in Spain than here in the United States. Here is an example of my perspective from the discussion boards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It is extremely important to be able to bond and find a community to community with. Luckily, I found it very easy to do so in this class. Being able to formally and informally communicate with others is also important because it is going to be needed in the real world. When applying for jobs, emailing an important individual, or even just having a casual conversation with someone like a supervisor, it is beneficial to know how to \u201cturn the switch\u201d as far as learning how to engage in communication. As the semester progressed, I felt like I was able to engage in community conversations because it was comfortable to know I had peers to who I could relate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion boards on Canvas provided me with the opportunity to engage with my peers. This semester, I knew a few people who were in the class and it was nice to be able to communicate with them in Spanish and relate a little more. I really like how also on Flipgrid I was able to have a conversation with my professor, even though it was a recording of her. Below is a snippet from one of the Flipgrid assignments this semester:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
