Week 5

Something very exciting happened this week: I had my first dream in Spanish. My professors tell me that this is a very good sign, since it means I am really interested in and processing the language. I’ve noticed that getting a good night’s sleep helps me process and store what I’m learning each day, and I wake up feeling more and more confident in my Spanish.

I had my second presentation this week, this time a 10-minute minimum, formal presentation with a slide deck. I ended up hitting 16 minutes and was proud of my use of vocabulary and the new tenses I’ve learned since being here. Did you know Spanish has 16 distinct verb tenses?
