In Spanish, we are going beyond grammar and conjugation. We are extensively adding to our vocabulary, and developing a deeper sense of the Spanish language through Spanish media. We are currently working on our vocabulary and listening journals.
For Spanish class, we wrote a page on any childhood story we wanted to share. I chose to talk about a soccer game I played in Morocco with all my friends.
This assignment focused on storytelling as a way to build fluency and confidence in written Spanish. Writing about a personal experience helped me use more natural sentence structures and descriptive language. I practiced past tense conjugations and transitional phrases to maintain narrative flow. The project also reinforced cultural connections between language and lived experience.
In Spanish class, we are tasked with listening to Spanish media atleast 10 times each term.
The listening log is designed to improve comprehension through consistent exposure to authentic Spanish. I engaged with a variety of media formats, including videos, podcasts, and interviews. This activity helped me recognize different accents, speaking speeds, and informal expressions. Over time, I noticed a significant improvement in my ability to understand spoken Spanish without subtitles.
