Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Tanisi

Category: Project Spanish

Eh oH watch me Go “Espanol” is all I know

Just joking I know English too! but my Spanish has been getting better. I am not fluent in Espanol yet but I did complete 1,2,3, and halfway through unit 4 soo… About 3 and a half out of 205 units on Duolingo.  I’m sooo close (joke) that I can almost taste it.

Well well well. We are almost done the semester! and I learned some SPANISH crazy, how schools can teach you things. Like who would’ve known?

Duolingo is my friend and will continue to be after this semester, I did not do as much Spanish as I wanted to but I did learn a lot and its all thanks to DUOLINGO and its podcast feature which is something I didn’t know existed till I opened my eyes, the podcast is good but you have to follow along with the transcripts to understand the Spanish part. Round of applause for these magnificent people!!

Today I went hard! I also screenshotted my progress and quick SHOUTOUT to my only Duolingo friend Zach much love and good luck! Sheesh I should’ve done more gosh darn but its okay Ill keep going at it and maybe one day Ill fully understand Espanol only if I keep practicing!

      

I screenshotted how to get to the podcasts and also todays progress ! I know I can do more but why didnt I!?

Heres my streaks for this semester! I was doing so good in October and fell off this month.

 

I forgot is this the last blog ? probably not since Im going to make another blog with everything I used to learn spanish. But for today I just want to say that this experience has been amazing, I thought there was never going to be a class where I dont feel stress. Ill upload the notes I took while going through Duolingo in my next blog.

Projecto Spanisho Gibberish to Spanish

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.

Gibberish to Spanish Part something? Add me on Duolingo or Ill add you.

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.

A new week a NEW CHALLENGE

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

A screenshot of Powtoon editor. Editing a slideshow

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.

This is my link.

Watch my Powtoon: How To

Substitution. This can be used for people who don’t have Microsoft 365 for PowerPoint because it’s free.

Augmentation.  This is a fun way to make a presentation more appealing for learning purposes.

Modification. People can edit each slide and add images to their liking and is easy to use.

Redefinition. It makes learning fun when people can share each others videos and people can do this online and add their own person style.

Gibberish to Spanish Part 2

Welcome back to my GIBBERISH to Spanish series this is week 2 of learning another language and honestly, I feel like it’s an easy language to learn  and I am slowly learning new things about Spanish and how there is different dialects of Spanish.

At the video I posted earlier I only managed to make it 50 minutes before I replayed everything over again and again for 4 times to really get it engraved into my mind and a creepy thing happened to me on the fourth replay when the person spoke Spanish and I understood it before it said it in the English version!!!!! (but patience is a virtue: this is me thinking of Spanish as English. )

Which I feel is helping a little but I am on the next adventure in finding new materials to learn from. Ill upload a update in a little bit of the sources ill be using this week just let me do some research. WISH ME LUCK
