Hola! This is the last blog post of the school year. This week, I did something new. I listened to podcasts. Recently, I started liking podcasts and thought I would give Spanish podcasts a try. The Spanish podcast was kind of hard to understand as I didn't understand everything. I hope this helped with listening final. For the speaking/writing/ listening podcast, I binged watched many Spanish vocabulary videos. It is a good way to cram and learn words. As for Spanish music, this week I listened to daddy Yankee. My favorite song was dura and azkuita .

 This week I did my classic combo of videos and music. This week, I significantly did listen to more music than watch videos which I think should have changed thus why in the next blog, I will read more or watch videos. The videos I watched were Spanish vocabulary words for clothing. They helped me for my upcoming test. I learned few new clothing words that I can apply. As for the music,  I listened to The Spanish radio on Panora. I listened to it while doing work for the classes as the songs are upbeat but at the same time not distracting.

hola! This week I listened to Enrique Iglesias. We listened to his famous song which was Bailando in class. I decided to listen to more of his songs and this was one of his songs. At first, I thought it was weird because the name is the bathroom in English.I later translated the song and I realized the significance. This week I did not read a fairytale but I found another website and read some stories. One of them that I liked was Fire Princess. At first, I didn't understand and only knew few words like corozon and fuego but with help from translator and the video, I only understood a bit more.It was a pretty interesting story. Until next time, Adios!

Hola! this week I did something similar to last week.This week I read  La Bella Durmiente ( https://www.grimmstories.com/language.php?grimm=050&l=es&r=en )  or Sleeping Beauty.  This story was a bit easier to read than Blancanieves but I still was referring to the English translation as I was reading it. Many of the words I knew were actually vocab words. As for the youtube videos, I rewatched a few of my favorite Spanish youtubers videos so that I get a better understanding of the videos. I will say that I kinda understood more with all the new words but relatively it felt the same. This week's spotlight Spanish singer was Chris Jeday. Apparently, his Vevo video for this song was one on top videos in 2017 so I decided to see his songs though I did really like it because it was rap.

                        Hello again and welcome to my blog!  This week I did a combination of all the things  I normally do aka watching Spanish videos,  reading a Spanish story, and listening to Spanish music. As also  I listened to Spanish music while I studied. This time the featured artist Maluma. I found him out through another video and thought I would check out his music. As for the story, I read    https://www.grimmstories.com/language.php?grimm=053&l=en&r=es or Blancanieves. This was a diffcult and long story. While I was reading, I referred to English text a lot. Lastly, I watched some Spanish video. Previously I said I did not like this Spanish channel, however that was because of her hack videos and prank videos. Recently, she uploaded no hack/prank videos so I decided to check her out again. Like always, I don't always understand what I am watching but using some knowledge I understand.

hola! This week I read 2 Spanish stories and listened to songs from Shakira. shakira is relatively new artist aka I have never listened to her songs before even though she is very popular. anyway, I actually like her songs it had pop music + Spanish music twist. This week, I read Los Tres Cerditos   ( three little pigs )and La Cenicienta ( Cinderella ). Both stories were quite difficult to read and had many words I didn't know. However, with help with the translator, it was easier to read. for three little pigs, I listened to the audio, read the story in Spanish, then read the story again with translation. for Cinderella, read the story and went over it again with the English translation next to it.

  Hello again!Welcome to the weekly blog post numero seis. Today I did something likewise to last week. Again, I read a story in Spanish. First, I read the story by myself. This story was interestingly every easy to read because there were many words we learned from our vocabulary. And when I mean by many, like there were a lot of words. Some were from what we learned in the beginning and some of them were vocab words we just learned. This made me happy now as I could read Ricitos de Oro y Los Tres Osos and understand some of it. Anyway, after that, I listened to the audio and learned to produce some of the words which were unfamiliar. Lastly, I translated the story and read it. As always, I listened to some Spanish songs while studying. They are now part of my weekly routine.

          This week I finally read some spanish books via internet. I read fairy tales as they were easy to comprhend unlike news articles . I picked Red riding hood as was one of my favorite books when i was child and i wanted to see how it was in spainsh. First, I listened to the audio version of Caperucita Roja . After the 12-13 min audio, I read the story without audio and see what words I could use and in general what I was understanding . Later, when i transaltled it I found that the story was a bit different than the one I read when I was little. In the end, it was interesting listening and reading the story and I want to read another fairytale in spanish next week. As for music, I searched up top spanish songs and I have been listening to them again as study. It has been my routiune now to listen mix some spanish music and I do my work.

  Hola. This week I watched , you guessed, it more youtube . My favorite English/Spanish Youtuber posted some videos over break so I was really happy. Her video always very fun to watch and I'm beginning to understand more and more with all the words that we are learning from class. For example, look at the youtube screenshot above . I knew that the title said best pranks of the year without watching the video and then assuming what it meant. I also have grown to like spanish music. I even have created a playlist of spanish songs I like. One artist I grown to like is Luis Fonsi . The melody of the songs are really good and even though I dont know exactly what they are saying it seems the songs are all very meaningful. I like listening to the songs while I'm studying expecially. I know I mentioned this before but I think I need to branch out a bit more. I did start reading some SPanish Buzzfeed articles however they were very hard and in the end , I transalted most of them. I will countine to find more shows and articles that are suitable for my level.
