Un poco de mí

Love & Lift “If you give them understanding support and loving correction, they will not feel hesitant to try, even though they know they will be making mistakes.”

I am taking Spanish because… So far in my life I know two languages so why not learn another? I find it interesting and it is the language I want to take in high school. Also, my mom and abuelita speak Spanish.

I want to study Spanish because first off my sister took it when she was in 8th grade and loved the class! Also I have never been to Mexico so I want to learn Spanish so that when I go I can speak their language. Lastly I LOVE Mexican food so I want to go to a restaurant and speak to them in Spanish. I'd rather learn Spanish than run the mile

A little bit more on fluency. About 600 hours required of exposure and practice. In a typical school year, students are exposed 40-50 minutes a day, five times a week for about 30 weeks. This is about 150 hours. To obtain the recommended 600 hours, a student must take 5 years of a language.

Sometimes I am a different character in different languages Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didn’t even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages actually. -Roger Federer
