Activity Log 10/28

This week I watched even more Maria la del Barrio since I was behind on my episodes. Another thing I did was change the English translations on a K-drama I have seen before (Pinnochio) to Spanish to see if I would still be able to understand the plot of the story even though it was in a different language than English and Korean. It worked out pretty well to where I knew enough words to understand the story line but some words I was confused on so I looked those up myself.

Over the break, I went to Texas for a college visit. We went to one Mexican restaurant and instead of speaking in English, my mom forced me to speak in Spanish so that is what I did. In my hotel room, I finished watching a few more episodes of Maris la del Barrio since I was extremely behind. :------).
Another thing I did was watch a little bit of "Tres metros sobre el cielo" since my Cuban friend recommended it to me.

10/20 Calentamiento

Over the course of Quarter 1, I learned more words in Spanish that I was not used to before I started the class. I also learned essential conversational  phrases that make my Spanish come off as more natural rather than straight out of a textbook. In Quarter 2, I hope to learn even more conversational skills and gain the ability to speak on the spot at a high level.

Activity Log 9/30

This week in class we watched a movie called "The Latino List" on Netflix. We only saw a fraction of these influential Latinos and Latina speaking about their lives but I took it upon myslef to watch the rest on Netflix. One of my most favorite parts was the Pitpull part because ,one, I did not know is real name ,and two, it was so interesting to see him without his signature glasses. Another activity we did in class was watch a music video in Spanish that consisted of fast rapping in Spanish, which was very impressive because I can barely SPEAK in English.
