Artifact Description: Mandarin Padlet Assignments In my Mandarin class Ms.Wang will give us a word in Chinese and we have to learn how to use correctly in a sentence. Recently we learn the word 错(cuo). We have to write three sentences using that word but we have to use a verb before cuo. Before writing sentences using the new word we learned she will give us a sentences and we have to guess what the word means in English first. 我知道你在说什么但是我觉得你说错他了. In this sentence it means cuo is used as to misspeak. The verb used is 说(shuo) which means to speak, so using 说and错 together means to misspeak.

After communicating with people in a different language helped me overcome my fear and be more confident in talking with other people. Sometime I still get nervous talking, but not was nervous as before. I am glad I had this experience and I would like to do this
