Goal #1: Talk about the weather in Dominican Republic

Goal: My first goal is to talk about the weather with someone who is from a different country.
  • Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?
    -I chose to speak with my friend Nicole from Dominican Republic because she doesn't live in United States and I wanted to know more about her country. 
  • What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?
    -I learned that DR has a lot of cyclones, rain, and thunderstorms. I'm guessing it doesn't snow because during the winter, the temperature can reach up to 60 degree. Usually, in the U.S. the temperature would be in the 30's. 
  • How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?
    -It helped me conjugate better and not hesitate so much. There were time where my sentence didn't sound right, but she corrected me. Because of that, I learned from my mistakes and I'm one step closer to understanding more spanish.
  • What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations?
    -I think I did well on asking a lot of questions ans sticking to one topic instead of going all over the place.
  • What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)
    -Wrong sentence: "¿Pero no gusto que gente inventó acondicionadores de aire para los días calurosos?"
    -Right sentence: Pero no le gusta que alguien inventó el aire acondicionado?
