Spanish Immersion Trip Analysis

Show More
I believe that the Spanish Immersion Trip to Cadiz is an amazing opportunity. In the past three years of my formal study of Spanish, I have come to love the language. Also, I have already made the decision to continue pursuing Spanish college possibly, majoring in it. This immersion trip would give me the chance to apply what I have learned in the real world and develop my speaking skills. I am fascinated with Hispanic culture, and through Spanish 1, 2, and 3, I have learned about traditions and life but have yet to feel the deep understanding you form when immersed. Taking flamenco classes, exploring the historic city of Cadiz, learning in how to make paella, and visiting the Alhambra Palace in Granada create authentic learning experiences

    Enrique's Journey Analysis

    An immigrant boy walks into a village looking for food and shelter to stay in for the night. He starts to ask for food water, the people in the village ignore him; calling him names and stealing what little clothes he has. He leaves the town filled with anger and hatred. A couple years go by and the boy is now an adult and a member of a gang, who steals from immigrants and leaves them brutally beaten.

    Spanish Honor Society Officer Essay

    We could pick an appropriate Spanish movie that highlights a Spanish-speaking country’s culture to play for not only our members, but also for all Spanish students, even those at the junior highs. This would be an opportunity to promote our club to future members and for students to improve their comprehension skills. The event could take place in the LGI with popcorn or other traditional snacks. Furthermore, I want to establish a more organized system of tutoring that matches a committed Spanish Honor Society member with a Dawson Spanish student. Spanish teachers would tell their classes that if desired, a student could have a SHS tutor.…

    English Language: Course Analysis

    Before this course, I did not know grammar well, and what I did know I did not fully understand. Yet, due to taking the course, I learned more about the structure of the English language, and can use grammar better than I did before. For instance, the first three major assignments were filled with missing comas, verb-tense misuses, and run-on sentences. Now, I may still make mistakes, but I know why I have made them. In other English courses, I had grammar homework and reading assignments that, often, seemed to be busy work, but with this course, I did not think that was the case.…

    Spanish Vs English Language Analysis

    There are hundreds of different languages spoken across the globe today. It is interesting to note that the United States, one of the most diverse countries in the world, does not have an official language. While English is what a majority of the American population speaks, it is by no means the only language that can be heard here. In California, specifically Southern California, two of the most widely spoken languages are English and Spanish. Often in the past, scholars as well as regular people, made theories and assumptions regarding languages.…
