January 25th, 2010Interview con John
January 22nd, 2010I spoke with a native speaker named John. We had to conversations. We had one in English and one in Spanish. John and I had a good interview. I learned about what he liked to do and he learned what I like to do.
The conversations were a little quiet so it was hard to understand what we were saying. The first interview was in Spanish. When John told me he liked Hunterdon Central, I could have went off on that subject and asked him why he like it here. We had a couple of similarities in our interview. He told me he 
like baseball so I asked him what his favorite team was. I found out that John likes the New York Yankees too. We also both have one pet, a dog, but I have a black lab and he has a boxer. 
The second conversation we had was in English to help John on his English. In this interview, I learned that he likes to hang out with friends on the weekend. I also like to spend time time with my friends and family on the weekend.

Ir de compras
January 19th, 2010Voy de compras en el fin de semana con mis amigos. Nosotros vamos en el centro comercial de Bridgewater. Primero vamos en Apple y jugamos en las computadoras blancos.

En Champs, mis amigos y yo miramos los zapatos. Nike Hyperdunks negros cuestan cien dólares. Despues de Champs, nosotros vamos a Brookstone porque volar los helicópteros es rapidos. Es muy divertido.
Preterite Tense Verbs
January 18th, 2010Recently, I have been having trouble with preterite tense verbs. I don’t know when to apply the right ending to the end of the verb being used. I found a very heplful website. The website has a guide before the quiz to teach the right preterite tense endings and when to use them. It also has a chart on the bottom of the page with the right enddings according to each form of verb; AR, ER, IR. When you have read and mastered the page on preterite tense, you can start the quiz. The first time I took the quiz, I did poorly. But as I read on and retook the quiz, I ended up doing really good. This is the site

Interview con Silvino
December 15th, 2009This was our first video. Jon was videotaping while i was interviewing. Jon was not in this video but will be in the next one. Even though Jon wasn’t in it, he helped make questions. I think we did a great job. We were loud enough to hear and we had good follow up questions. I had been corrected a few times by Silvino, but that is how we learn. Since it was our first time meeting, it was a little hard. I believe if we interviewed Silvino again, we will be more flowing and it will be an understandable conversation.

Verbos Voicethread
November 2nd, 2009Conversation with native speaker
October 18th, 2009Ana Valladares, 12 14 PM, Sunday, 18 October 2009
Tom and I spoke with a lady from Spain. Her name was Ana. She was 23 years old.
Did well- In this conversation, Tom and I did well because we had a good conversation. We were asking and answering questions and we didn’t have many long pauses. We also didn’t have to go through our papers that much.
Need to do better- We need to tell them to repeat so we can understand them better. Some times we would just guess her questions and answer. But overall, we did pretty good.
Conversation
October 13th, 2009Spanish Speaking
October 11th, 2009This past week, we were trying to chat with people around the world. Tom found some one to talk to. He and I spoke to the man from another country, through a microphone. He was learning English while we were learning Spanish. It was interesting to hear him speak English with an accent.
Song Project
October 8th, 2009I have already talked to a man from across the country! I didn’t get that much time because he was at work but it was fun. My partner and I just finished a Spanish song. I learned a lot about the Spanish alphabet because we had to spell out each word. It helped my pronunciation in Spanish. Here is my Spanish song.
Voicethread project
October 6th, 2009This past week, I was working on a project called voicethread. I explained myself, a friend and a family member. It has helped my pronunciation because we had to record each page. I can also spell the the words in Spanish. I talked about what i like and what they like and the interests we share. My vocabulary has enhanced in Spanish.
