I was really nervous about taking Spanish. I took it in high school, but that was decades ago and I was not sure how much I would remember. The class started and I was relieved to a point because the professor realized that not many people know a different language. The most difficult portion was the verbs, adverbs, etc. The other troublesome part was knowing which word was used. In other words, Spanish words are not like English. Some words are used for multiple meanings. For instance, tarde can either be later or afternoon.
However, with all that said, I was pleasantly surprised when I looked in the classroom this morning. My final grade was posted. I will start with week five first though. The final was a team project, which weeks 2-4 were team projects about two countries (both with the dominant language Spanish). The final had to be a presentation that took the most valuable information from the previous weeks. For this, we received full credit (100%)!
Now on to the final grade. I have not mentioned any of the weekly grades because I did not want to jinx myself. It must have worked because my final grade is 100%! This is the second time I have received 100, and both have been within the past six months!
Spanish II starts next Tuesday, the 9th! We will see how that goes. It looks like we will have to use our microphones, most likely for pronunciation. This is where I may have difficulty because I cannot roll the R's. Like I said, we will see. I just have to remember to stay positive!
