Asking questions works and I'm most surprised by my ability to understand and read what they are saying. I assume it's easier to have a conversation with someone compared to reading something is because just like us even everyday talking we do not use complex sentences or words. 

I'm finding it difficult to get to my more complex questions because even though I'm writing in Spanish the person on the other end usually takes a bit to answer not including the minute or two it takes for me to come out with the question or response. 

It's not working as well as I'd hope. I really would like to ask some more difficult and interesting questions. I think to help this I could write the more difficult questions down in advanced so I'd have a template or a base to go off of. I think this will help me steer the conversation in the direction I want it to go and make the conversation move on faster so I can accomplish those things.

Cheyenne - definitely come up with the questions ahead of time! Remember that I'm giving you time in class to work on this so that you are able to prepare yourself and feel as comfortable as possible when you're having the conversation. Ask your group members for help! Ask me!
