That was a tricky one!! We had to write a paragraph about what we did yesterday in Spanish. I hope I did well! I like taking quizzes on the Internet. I think it is important to learn a second language because it broadens your abilities to communicate with people. If you can only speak one language, you are forever limited to only speaking to people who speak that language. It is especially important to be able to communicate in today's world. The United States (as well as other countries) have people from many different countries settling in them. It is becoming almost a necessity to speak another language so that you can communicate with everyone in your workplace, school, and community. If we all only spoke our own native languages, we would become incredibly isolated from each other, there would be no opportunity to have friends of a different culture. It would be terrible. We wouldn't be able to benefit from discoveries made in other countries because we wouldn't understand them. Technology would probably not be as advanced, and neither would medicines. Life would be incredibly different. That is why it is important to learn a second language, to ensure that this never happens. Today’s assignment was to take the quiz on Preterite verbs.

The test wasn't hard, i just got confused at first with the 'hoy'. I think it is very important to learn a second language because it may come useful later in life. It could help you in college or even help you get a higher paid job. It could help you out if you needed help from someone who only spoke Spanish.

It confused me when it said "Hoy" because I did not know whether to put the preterit or present tense. I eventually got it right thought. Although I thought everywhere it said "ahora" it said "ayer". That is why I missed the questions that I missed. It was one of the more difficult tests we've had this year. It is important to learn a second language because for one thing, it goes on your college application. Another is it can get you qualified for a better or higher paying job by knowing a second language. Lastly you could be in a predicament where I am forced to use a different language to conquer the situation. Today we took a difficult test.

I believe that this computer may be malfunctioning due to the fact that it revealed to me that my grade on the test was a 22. This tells me that I must study this section of Spanish more thoroughly and test myself in the near future to prove that I understand completely how to use the present tense and preterit tense verbs in Spanish correctly. It is VERY important in life to at least learn a second language, simply due to the fact that most career choices require it to be acknowledged. Not only that, many people in this world speak Spanish, and if you visit countries of that language without being able to speak it, you will not be able to comprehend their audible speakings. Thus, I recommend that anyone who is reading this comment, should take classes and thrive to learn at least one language other then English. In addition, if you confront a hispanic individual and unable to speak spanish and yet you attempt it, you may cause yourself or others to be exposed to conflict. Although you may not realize it now, your career choice may require you to speak a second language and you may not even know it. But anyways, today's assignment was a test that proved whether or not you understand the section in which we are studying completely. It also goes to show those who don't, that they need to further study the section for future assignments.

All we did was take a test that was really easy (althought I missed two) I blame it on "ahora"... it confused me. Anyway it was pretty easy but i did not like the paragraph at the end... once again, i was confussed. But it is very impotant to learn spanish because the way our econemy is today it won't be long until we're all speaking spanish (but i hope that doesn't happen). But it is also required to speak spanish in many professions in order to prosper. Ok… todays assignment was really easy.

I still think I need a little more help with the endings and when to use them instead of the -o, -as, -a, -amos, -ais, -an. I get really confused between using preterit and present tense. It is important to learn a second language where you can somewhat talk to someone with the language. There are many people that think that Spanish is not a great thing to learn. I thought so at first but, since this is my last year in spanish I am kind of enjoying it more since I was able to have Coach Bishop as my teacher through Spanish 1 and Spanish 2.

I dont really think that it is important to learn a second language. But it is something good to know. I also dont agree with spanish speaking people coming from mexico or somewhere and not knowing how to speak one word of english. Today’s assignment was to go to moodle and take a quiz.
