Spanish Final
The greatest tool I used this semester was definitely dulingo, Because it helped me translate words in a way that made me feel comfortable.
Both me and my partner were extremely motivated by the thought of failure, witch fueled us to do a better job and practice every day. I also feel my partner did a great job motivating me to do my best and focus on the task at hand. My main goal for this final was to really feel like I was in control of the conversation an understood what was going on as well as I would in english. Though I did understand clearly, It made are conversation short and sort of boring. Compared to my first day of Spanish, I feel a lot more comfortable learning and speaking the language. Me and my partner chose each other because we were pretty much the only two left. I wanted to try working with one of my classmates because for the midterm I worked with the teacher. I make an effort to use Spanish outside of class because me and my dad will try to learn a new word every day. Also I was considering taking short classes over the summer with my neighbor, who is fluent in Spanish. I definitely enjoyed the articles we read in class and could connect to them. Overall I think my final was a good way to sum up a great semester.

Practice Video 1
In this video me and my partner begin to piece together our script. We start by just naming things that we think we should say, along with words that should be included. This may seem like a rough start, but it was basically a brainstorm session. Our topic was privacy policies of the 2016 presidential candidates. We will be stating the names of the candidates, there opinions on subjects, why they have these opinions, and what we think of those opinions. I think we have a good starter topic and are working towards a great script.
Practice video 2
This video was taken before our final. It shows me and my partner deciding if there is anything left to add to our script. We discuss: The privacy policy's of both the Democratic and Republican Party's, The results of the California primary, and our thoughts on the Bernie Sanders VS Hillary Clinton debate currently happening in California. I think we have a good conversation script and are working towards a great final.

I choose to work with his partner because we are friends and both in the same class. To practice we just read the script to each other about 20 times. I felt pretty comfortable with basic corvorsations probably about a 7. I feel most comfortable in understanding because I can understand most things tait says. My goals for midterm aare to just to have a really smooth convorsation.

my initial expectation of this class was that it was going to be difficult. My enthusiasm for learning spanish is a 10 because I am just really excited to lean a new language.
I am most looking forward to just being able to speak spanish off the top of my head. I think since the first video I have grown a lot in the sense that i have more confidance and just a wider vocabulary in general. I think it will be really fun to be speaking spanish regularly.
