Interpersonal Communication Reflection

Throughout this year, I have worked to further my spanish vocabulary so I am able to communicate better with those of Spanish heritage. It is obvious that through the year I have improved in all aspects of my Spanish vocabulary and usage. Even with the questions moving from English to Spanish, I was able to make this transition smoothly with the help of my Spanish teachers. These projects progressively got more difficult, and with them, my skills progressed. My Spanish speaking is not the best, but it has improved significantly throughout this course. In the interpersonal communication module I chose, I was instructed to introduce myself and give general information about myself. I was able to successfully write and record a minute worth
Upon receiving a good grade, I was able to learn how to compare and contrast two things in Spanish. In the future, I will be able to compare things using Spanish in the classroom setting or if I visit a Spanish speaking country. Also, if I ever have to go to an emergency room in another country, I will know what to expect upon arrival. In the presentational speaking module I chose, I was instructed to give my opinion on the art and music classes in the schooling system. In this project I wrote about how I feel about the arts in the schooling system and how they are just as important as the math and sciences. I can use these skills learned to argue my opinion in the future. For the interpretive listening module, I was instructed to watch a video about a singer canceling his concert and the audiences reactions. I received a good grade on this assignment which shows that I can watch a video and understand what is happening in it. It was difficult to understand the language being spoken at full speed, but I was able to understand it enough to write the response. This assignment was good practice for the future when I will have to associate with people speaking at a faster pace than I am comfortable with. Overall, I have become a well rounded Spanish speaking student that can listen to, speak, and write Spanish
