Month: October 2023

Welcome back to my Gibberish to Spanish. Today I’m going to be honest and say I’ve been slacking a lot lately but I have good reasons! (not really) I was working on other assignments for other classes and didn’t feel like anyone around me would like to hear my broken Spanish probably because I feel they would look at me funny. Buttttt… I have been practicing in my head (don’t ask for proof) trying to say words or sentences in my head to remember them more and that helps when I do go back to Duolingo and try to keep a streak going, but it usually consists of weekdays not weekends probably because I’m still in the mindset of WEEKENDS are breaks like in high school but I need to step up my GAME and complete more lessons on Duolingo this week.

As you can see my streaks have been a lot on the ice side, (Ice means that If I don’t do any spanish that day it would “Freeze” My progress so I don’t lose a streak) and the colored ones are the ones in which I actually did some lessons.

Dont think Im not learning because I’m not doing it everyday, because I have been learning, In fact I’ve learnt somewhere between 186-200 words of Spanish so far and I wrote this words down in my notebook where I have the English word and than the Spanish beside it. Im not fluent yet but rolling my “R”s have been getting easier.

Hello people I was just organizing my notebook for Spanish words in English to Spanish and I forgot to mention that I was also using note-taking to help me remember and write the words right! Maybe next blog I can take a picture of my notes but ATM I can’t but I did take screenshots of my Duolingo account. I was kind of slacking this week with the leaderboards because I find that I am competitive when it comes to any leaderboard.

Right now I am almost halfway done with Unit 3 and only 2 days for the leaderboards to close!! I need to get back to it.

PS add me on Duolingo or comment your name so I can add you.

.

Subsitutation: Duolingo can be another option than taking classes in person and it is also free to use for everyone instead of people paying for classes and accounts to learn a new language, you can learn for free here!

Augmentation: Students can use Duolingo to track their progress and accuracy with each lesson done without the help of a tutor or teacher.

Modification: People can add each other on Duolingo and track each others progress and compete on the leaderboards.

Redefinination: I feel Duolingo can make a community hub for people who are learning a new language and give them  assignments to work out with each other and grade everyone by their scores. or a challenge to finish the assignment first? and to have people communicate with real speakers of that language.

Hello people. I am still trying to find something I can use for my Learning project post #3 and I found Powtoon easy to use animation tool that has loads of free templates to look through and I picked a How-to  presentation on the steps of finding and learning a new language

From Powtoon.com Template How To

This is how it looks when I choose the Template and you can design and change anything you want to. I’ll be making it into something about my Spanish project and Duolingo.
