How the second video went was surprising good. The preparation was very different because for many day my normal partner was absent for many of the days. So at the last minute ailza volunteered to be my partner. So all we did was practice once and did very good for the video. So major shout out for ailza for volunteering and doing so well at practicing a whole different script. During the whole very short practice session that we had I learned more about the word ‘favorita’ it means favorite in english. I knew this word for the past two weeks but when ailza said it it sounded like something else. At first i thought she was saying family but then she told me that it was just favorite.
Throughout this whole process there were no disappointments or struggles. I was very happy with the outcome of the whole thing. I guess the only struggle i could talk about is that my normal partner was absent a lot of the days. So making the script and practicing it was very hard.
Moving forward what i am excited about in this class is how there is a potential that we could be able to pick our partners for the next videos. This will be good because then i will be able to work with people that i know and who share common interests as me. This will make is easier to make the script.
My partner for the video was very good at learning the conversation in a short amount of time. What she did for her part of the conversion is ask me about surf shops. What is my favorite one and where it is located. This was different from the conversion that was already set but she didn't have time to remember what it was. It was very good because it was questions that were good to answer and were on topic about the beach.
Some areas that I should grow in is coming up with better sentences. Currently the sentences that i’m using are very short and simple. I want to make the sentences in the future much better. Like making them longer and more natural to say. This will make the conversions much better to say and hear.
People that I would like to work with in future are a few of my friends that I have never worked with in the past. Some of them are in this class but some are in the other class but on the same team. So I think being able to work with other people on the other class. I think some topics that would be good to talk about is airsofting. A few people I know on the other class that are into airsofting too and i think it would be a good topic to talk about.
A way i can challenge myself into speaking spanish outside of school is by going on surf trips to mexico. I just got my passport and my own car so I might start doing weekend trips to mexico to surf. It would be a good way to get myself to speak spanish. I have recently pushed myself to speak spanish by doing a week long surf trip to nicaragua. Since it is so far deep into central america there is no english at all. So the only way to talk to the locals is to talk in spanish.
