Practice
This quarter I have been spending my time reading Los Cuatro Acuerdos, talking with Andrea, talking with Sage, and working on my presentation in Spanish.
I am very close to finishing Los Cuatro Acuerdos (page 115), the agreements that I have read so far are, be impeccable with your words, don't take anything personally, and don't make assumptions. This book has been helpful in my Spanish study by providing me with a wide range of new vocabulary and phrases and grammatical structures. This book also has helped me understand others and how to interact with people. Talking with Andrea and Sage has been helpful, talking with Andrea has helped me with understanding Spanish when it is spoken a lot faster and has helped me with understanding sayings used in context. When I am talking with Sage it is helpful because we both help each other with correct conjugations and grammatical structures. Giants"Necesito a ir por un excursión de arte, específicamente de una de mis pinturas que se llama "Gigantes". Empiece ese pintura dos años pasado. En mi mente ese pintura ser del desierto con una calle, montañas, un gigante, las plantas del desierto, una persona en la calle, y un cielo vacío. El mensaje que quiere a comunicar con la pintura era mi experiencias del desierto y mis opiniones del desierto del El Paso y el sudoeste del estadounidense.
Pero cuando veo la pintura al principio del año de escuela, me dio cuenta que la foto que era entendido crear era una mentira. La pintura que empiece era que quiero el desierto y El Paso de ser. Quiero el desierto ser un lugar de paz, de conexión con naturaleza, familia, cultura, y color. Pero en la realidad, el desierto para mi es una ciudad de juicio, de vergüenza, de alcoholismo en mi familia. El Paso es una lugar de una lucha constante. Pero no es completamente negativa, es una lugar de esperanza y familia en todo mi vida el único casa que siempre estancia mismo es la casa de mi Tía Dalia. De todas maneras, cambió la pintura a una manera olvidos de tras de casas en una canal, con las montañas de Franklin y el gigante. Voy a cambiarlo otra vez para incluir algo de esperanza y familia y cultura. La punta es cambie la pintura para ser honesto. Usualmente pinte sin preguntando la mensaje o el razón." I think I have gotten over a large obstacle this semester in Spanish, before now I could not listen to people talk at the normal speed in Spanish because I could not register the words fast enough to understand what they were saying. But through this semester with all the activities that I am doing and with the help of Andrea and Sage I am over the hump of not being able to understand others when they speak at a normal speed. Words are registering faster and I am able to understand what others are saying. What I need to work on now is how fast and how correctly I am able to respond. Writing in Spanish is good for refreshing my memory. Like I said before in my last narrative the key to learning this and any language is repetition and making sure that I make time for it. I have worked on my presentation and have been re-researching the events I am going to go over so I could remember them and write a summary in Spanish. This quarter I am finishing the presentation and the book, and writing every Friday. |
