Blog Post 3: Televisión En la segunda parte: Ecuador

Posted by Kenisha Hood in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

​

  • What did you learn about your partner?  

    For this blog post, I added two people instead of one to make the post more insightful. I talked with Christian and Guillermo about the television they watch in Ecuador. Christian talked more of American Series while Guillermo talked more about Spanish series but also watches both. Christian is a fan of "Friends" just as I am and we talked about different episodes. 

  • What did you learn from them?

    I learned about a comedy show called "Aqui No Hay Quien Viva" which is comedy series. Guillermo watches this series where he lives. He also taught me that "hay" meant there.

  • What did you learn about yourself?

    I learned that what I like to watch on television will not always be the same as others. Others might not enjoy these shows like I do.

  • What were you surprised about?

    I was surprised at the fact that American series do get watched in other countries such as Ecuador. 

  • What are you proud of?

    I am proud that I got to achieve my goal of researching what type of television is watched in other countries. I am also proud of the fact that I used the dictionary less this time and I talked more on what I knew.

  • What follow-up questions do you have?

    Do other countries watch the same cartoons as Americans?

  • What will you improve on for next time?  How?  s


    Next time,I will try to improve on leaving the conversation better. I kind of cut it short beings though class was over and I had to shut my laptop. I will work on a better"leaving" technique.

  • Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?

    I spoke with a guy named Julian. This time, I decided to switch to my Sharedtalk account. So, he requested that we chat, and I accepted. 

  • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?

    For this conversation, we spoke about music. He was telling me about how he played the piano and the guitar, and what kind of music he liked to listen to. 

  • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?

    Even though this was the first conversation we've had, I feel like I wasn't as nervous as I was when I did my first chat with the other person on Livemocha. I also think I did better with asking questions, and using Spanish throughout the conversation. 

  • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations?

    I improved with asking them questions, and improving my use of Spanish in the conversation.

  • What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)

  • Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?


    I spoke with a 17 year old from Columbia named Manuel Barbosa. I chose to use him because he was the only one willing to speak in completely spanish for 10 minutes at a time.

  • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?


    I learned a lot about life and culture in Columbia. I also learned new words and Columbian "slang"

  • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?


    Well considering my goal was to learn to be more polite he taught me 'impolite' phrases that I would use around my friends. Basically he taught me slang. This was helpful because now I know what not to say, and on top of that now I know how to interact with my spanish friends :D

  • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations?


    Again, I feel like I did very well with speaking only spanish. 

  • What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)


    Being able to understand what they were saying, like the gist of it. I found myself confused a lot of the time.

  • Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?


    I spoke with Melina in this conversation. I talked to her before and she made sense.

  • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?


    She likes playing volley ball and going to the beach. I also learned a bit of the culture

  • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?


    It worked out good, my goal was to talk the culture but I don't think she quite understood what I said.

  • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations?


    I learned but not much, it was fin though

  • What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)rc


    She didn't understand me so I had to write in english to get my point across. I'm not so sure other than trying better

  • Who you spoke with and why you chose that partner

    - I spoke with Manuel. He was fluent at spanish, he was the one who decided to chat with me and he was willing to help me. 

  • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?

    - I learned a lot about him because he was describing how he looked like and such. I learned that he likes to hang out with his friends, watch movies etc. I may have included it in the audio. For the audio, I didn't include the whole thing because originally, it was about 45 minutes and I had to cut it down to 5 minutes. 

  • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goals?

    - To be a little more comfortable with speaking because when he spoke, he was really quickly with it and I don't get what he's talking about so I ask ¿Como? like million times. 

  • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? What specifically to you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)

    - My last week's goal was to have an actual conversation like audio wise instead of IMs because I wanted to improve my pronunciation as well.

    Proyecto de Conversación - Pt 3

    Posted by Breeanna Noi in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

    Who did I speak to and why did I choose that person? 

    I spoke to Seba F. on Skype after I met him on SharedTalk. I chose to speak to him because he was eager to learn and was very curious. So instead of me asking a bajillion questions, he asked and I answered. 


    What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them? 

    I didn't learn much about him. He was a curious person who was planning on moving to the States and it seemed like a really big change because he barely knew the language. 

    How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal? 

    It helped me achieve my goal because I didn't feel like an interviewer. I was actually having a legitimate conversation with someone who was just as curious as I was. 

    What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? 

    I did well with conjugating my words better and explaining things to Seba. 

    What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again) 

    We were kind of speaking Spanglish. He spoke broken English and I spoke broken Spanish. But we understood each other. He'd ask a question in English and I'd respond in Spanish then we'd switch. 



    I've only attached part of the conversation because it was lengthy.

    • Is your research question clear from the beginning?
      Not really, we kind of have to flow through some casualties first then ask the question. 
    • Did you post the questions you came up with before having the conversation?  Did you predict how your partner would answer those questions?
      Well, we were talking about what we're doing and we both said that we just ate dinner. Then the question just came up and then it went on and on. 
    • Did you research your topic before you had the conversation?
      Not really, because I think it's better to ask the people themselves than research it myself. 
    • Did you post the transcript/video/audio of your conversation?
      Yes, I do. 
    • Did you post a paragraph that answers the reflection questions I ask of you in the project description?
      Yes, I did. 
    • Did you make it look pretty?  Are there hyperlinks to interesting sources you found while researching your topic?  Do you include images and/or video of your topic?
      It's not like eye catching pretty but well organized and whatnot. 
    • Did you format your blog professionally? 
      I guess I did.

    o   Who you spoke with and why you chose that partner

    The girl’s name was Astrid, and I talked to her because she actually responded!

    o   What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?

    We didn’t get a chance to finish our conversation, but I know that she is about my age, a bit older, and she is learning English on her own, which is really hard!

    o   How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goals?

    My new goal is to find out about people’s abilities to speak languages that are not their own (having me as the test subject as well) I am pretty happy with this discussion.

    o   What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? What specifically to you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)

    o   I am pretty sure that if I could do this again, I would do it the same way.

    • Who you spoke with and why you chose that partner

      - I can't remember his name and I didn't take a screen shot of his name but it was something very weird.

    • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?

      - From talking with this person I learned that a conversation can go either way wether its in a good way or bad way. He did help me how to tell someone that I don't want to talk to them and be just fine with that

    • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goals?

      -In general my personal goals are to improve my spanish and I believe the more people I talk to the better my spanish does seem to get. 

    • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? What specifically to you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)


      - As usual just being able to keep the conversation going is one of my strong spots.
