My First Test

We had our fist test this past class. I started to stress before the test and was a little nervous. For the test we had to say the greeting we had learned and then tell about our family. We also had to tell about Destinos and the story of Don Fernando. I had to go first and I thought I was going to do horrible. It wasn't any where near as bad as I had expected. I fell into the pattern that we had been practicing in class and I remember most of what I was supposed to say. It felt good when I came out that I was able to say so much in spanish at one time. I really relied a lot on previous spanish that I had learned in highschool. I was thankful for the spanish I had learned back then. I know from now on I'm going to have to study more for this class as I learn new words and ways of putting them in sentences. I find it exciting to be able to start to speak another language.

My First Time

Well this is a new experience for me and it may be for you as well. As well as learning Spanish this year I am learning how to use the modern conveniences of the internet(mainly how to use a blog). As class has just started as of a week or so ago I have not done a ton of studying for this class as of yet. I do find the Destinos videos to be much more interesting than the text books that I had in Spanish class in high school. I am finding that it is much easier to learn by just listening and watching to catch on to the meaning of things. I have noticed though that what little I did learn in high school Spanish is coming in very handy because it gives me a little background knowledge to base my learning on. I hope that as this class progresses I will become more confident and competent in speaking spanish.
