Fin de Semana Extra Credit Opportunity!

Change your Facebook language to Spanish for at least 24 hours. What did you learn? Post to your blog on SLATE. Include screenshots and/or video.

DUE MONDAY BY 8:15am

​Start: 09/24/2011 - 6:18 pm
I learned a words like:
  • muro - wall
  • publicó - published / posted
    buscar - search
    me gusta - like
    comentar - comment
    inicio - settings
  • comentó - commented
    etc.
Also, the words on your notification bar are mostly past tense so they end with the past tense verb conjugation. The statuses are in English rather than Spanish. Also, most of the links and places to go on the left hand bar were easier to read or I memorized them from before the language change.

Example: My cousin tried to add me as one of her cousins and I tried to see the resemblance of the Spanish word Vs. the English word to get the the page and then there was a list of family members and I picked prima because she was my cousin.


Later: 

I get a lot of notifications through my phone and all of them were in Spanish and every time I got a text, I was shocked to see that it was in Spanish.
