Second conversation.

Second Week:

Partners Name: Robert/ Mauro

City y Country: Peru/Buenos Aires

(The people on Livemocha would only talk to me a tiny bit.) 

Who you spoke with and why you chose that partner.

I spoke with a man on Livemocha, he messaged me because he was learning English and I am learning Spanish. Both men messaged me to talk so I just went with it.

What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?

I learned Mauro lives in Buenos Aires, and Robert wants to learn to speak English.

How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goals?

The more I speak in Spanish the more comfortable I become, Mauro knew no English so speaking to him forced me to only speak in Spanish. This was helpful but difficult and I found myself looking at word reference a lot

What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? What specifically to 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)

I spoke only in Spanish and tried to keep a basic conversation. This needs to change, these conversations are awkward at best and using Livemocha is harder then expected. I want to figure out how to hold just a basic conversation before I try and learn anything about their culture.
