Reflection
I feel as if I'm fairly comfortable with basic conversation, but my Spanish speaking is very broken. I can somewhat understand native speakers, but typically through body language and the context of what they're speaking of. My father is fluent and teaches me random words, but not any structured sentences. I try to piece together what I know using basic logic, and it's somewhat effective.
The hardest part of learning Spanish is sentence structure. It's much different than English, the sentence structure is ordered differently. Its difficult to create a sentence because of the different conjugation and the potential that two words that sound the same mean entirely different things.
I am required to speak the little that I know when my father and I purchase merchandise in Mexico. I speak with him to better understand the language and to become more comfortable with it. I think adding structure to my learning will really help me outside of class.
Ryan did a great job. He is not familiar with the language, this was his third day speaking Spanish. He did his best and really tried. Despite wanted to end the conversation early on, he stuck in there and continued on.
