Spanish language

mainly spoke spanish, and the students fluent in english along with bilinguals. Of course, I felt comfortable around people who spoke spanish, but as a child I would notice most of my friends who were in the “normal” classes would get small prizes which allowed me to have something to look forward to achieving. Not only that, but a few classmates who had the same interests as me, such as playing video games, only spoke English, therefore, I wanted to do my best to speak to them in a language…

Autobiographical Literacy Reading serves the purpose of letting you get into the world or the event that is describing the authors in its writing. For many people reading is fascinating and for many other is just awful, for me, reading is just like another activity I could do in my free time when it relates to my likes. Writing is a complicated as it is to have the correct grammar usage and punctuation, which are essential to an excellent essay. Personally, reading is not a big deal for me…

Literacy Narrative Language was something I had never put much thought into until October of my junior year in high school. For sixteen years, I lived in the same town, went to the same school, and was around the same people. I was never exposed to different languages. The farthest I had ever traveled from my hometown was twelve hours to Orlando, Florida for family vacation. I learned about language, reading, and writing in school. English was never my favorite subject but I normally excelled…

community with multicultural influences. I would hear Spanish being spoken, but it was always from a distance. Moreover, even though it is part of my own Puerto Rican heritage, I did not grow up in a household that spoke Spanish.

Language is a very broad structured system of symbols that allow people to express ideas and feelings to others.The fact that we process language does not always mean that we are communicating well and in a proper manner. Within language there are four key elements: Sounds, words, grammar, and meaning. As a person who speaks multiple foreign languages I have noticed that the element of grammar…

linked to its history of colonization, Central American beliefs still speaks of Europe. Yes, each country does have its own flavor, but there are some simplifications we can make. For instance, Spanish is the leading language of the region. Standing out a bit, Belize actually claims English as its official language, but this too speaks of European influence. After all, before the Europeans made shore, the ancient Mayans weren't greeting each other with hellos or holas. Adding to the evidence of…

four as the most diverse public school in the state of Michigan (“2017 Most Diverse High School,” 2016). However, I was incognizant of the number of Spanish speaking students and involvement of the Hispanic community at Wyoming Public Schools. Majority of students belong to a rich Mexican culture and are bi-lingual as Spanish being their primary language. It was a concept I had to become accustomed to considering it was unfamiliar to me. I had to become culturally sensitive and understand the…
