Embedded Files
Over these last two years I have been consistently building my Spanish vocabulary and practicing my conversational skills, as well as studying medical specific terminology to aid me in my area of study. Through this time I have visited a Mexican market, watched movies in Spanish, immersed myself in Spanish media, and created a habit of practicing my Spanish skills everyday with Duolingo.
Reflections
Duolingo:
Duolingo allowed me to create a habit of practicing my spanish everyday. This has helped me to expand my vocabulary and not forget words that I may not remember otherwise. Duolingo has taught me consistacy and applied my Spanish skills in all forms such as reading, writing, and speaking.
Conversations with my Dad
Allowed me to talk in a more informal and conversational tone. I was able to learn new words for everyday items and talk in a conversational manner.
Listening to a Spanish podcast
Podcasts gave me the oppertunity to both learn new vocabulary and comprehend sentences by connecting what I already knew. They helped me to recall vocab faster and expanded my understanding of speaking.
Reading News Articles
I was able to expand my vocab to include more technical terms I might not otherwise encounter conversationaly. It allowed me to read using a larger body of writing, rather than the short sentences I was used to from my first two years of Spanish or the translation sentences on other platforms.
Visting a Mexican Market
This activity exposed me to more of the cultural side of the Spanish language. I was able to see the labels of various items and see, and eat, new foods I had never encountered.
