Unit 1

What We Learned

The most important things we learned this unit was all the vocabulary that enables us to talk about entertainment. We learned words about movies, about how to talk about types of movies (Mi gustan las películas de acción), what movies we enjoy (Mi pelicula favorita es Wall-E), what movies are about (La pelicula trata de una familia), etc. We also learned about how to talk about songs, such as genres (Vivir la Vida es un canción Latina Pop o Salsa) and artists (El cantante de el cancion es Marc Anthony). Additionally, we learned about how to make plans (Voy de compras en al central comercial). I feel as if I now have a good grasp on the basic structure of the language. Now, I can use a lot of vocabulary that we learn to construct more and more sentences. I still feel as if there are some gaps in my familiarity that shouldn't be there, such as a couple basic vocabulary here, a few pronouns there, but those will be filled in as I figure out which ones I don't know and correct them.

Examples of what we learned:

• La pelicula tiene lugar en los Estados Unidos.
• Trata de una abuela y su nieto.
• Prefiero escuchar musicas de pop.
• Puedes ir a la biblioteca?
