Artist StatementThe greatest tool I've used to enhance my Spanish vocabulary is Duolingo. In the Beginning Duolingo helped me a lot. I encouraged my partner to practice more. Without it we would have gotten in very little practice. My goal before each conversation is to have no long pauses, to not break out into English, and to have a meaningful conversation (one like I would in English) On a scale of 1-10 I would say my comfort level with having a Spanish conversation with a fluent speaker would be a 2. I say this knowing how vast every language is. I would like to discuss the culinary arts more since that is what I am going into after high school. Quite honestly, I chose my partner mainly because she is my friend but also because we did a great Spanish conversation when we were last partners. I watched one episode of Peppa the Pig in Spanish..ha ha..embarrassing..oh well either way, it was of almost no help to me. I have never listened to music or anything else in Spanish. To study, I would go over my notes, go on Duolingo every day, or Facetime with my friend Elly to practice with her. Reading articles in class gave me that realization that a lot of words in Spanish are close to words in English.
