• Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?

  I spoke with man from Mexico named Vidal. He actually messaged me first and I decided to continue the conversation.

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

  I learned that he like sci-fi, mystery, romance, and just about every other kind of movies except for cartoons.We also talked about areas where I thought I needed work in Spanish. He gave me examples of times when certain tenses are used in everyday conversation. I also learned that he nearly perfected his English accent by listening to music.
  
  

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

  My goal was to find examples of when the subjunctive and imperfect tenses are used in everyday conversation. This conversation was some what helpful in meeting that goal. Vidal had some difficulty thinking of specific examples, but was able to give me a few that helped me get the general idea.
  

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

  I did well with being able to reply in Spanish and not pausing to ask what he meant or use the dictionary for every word I did not know. I was able to use context clues to get the general idea of what he was saying and respond. 
  

• 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)

  I still need to work on not using WordRefrence as much. I also need to solidify my understanding of ser v. estar. There was a  point in the conversation where I was confusing the two verbs.
  
  "Soy en colegio..."

• Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?
• I spoke to two women around my age! It was a little awkward talking to a guy but I also spoke to a guy, he was rally nice, he was my age and just wanted to talk which was cool!
• What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?
• I learned that both were not from a spanish speaking country but studied and spoke spanish for  long time! We talk about how they learned spanish! The guy I spoke to was from costa rica! My previous conversations were a little too straight forward it was like I was asking questions and they were responding so I wanted to make my goal to have a normal conversation where both of us were asking each other questions.
• How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?
• I felt more confident than I did previously so I wasn't too worried about messing up or have errors.

• Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?
  -I spoke with a guy who name is Luis Angel. The reason why I chose to speak with him is because he's from Mexico. All my other conversations were from people who lives in Spain.
  
  
• What did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?
  I learned that he's a very happy person. He's the type of person that always has a smile, no matter what. He doesn't like to be sad. Even at the toughest times, he wants to smile.
  
  
• How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal?
  Well, my goal was to be natural with my conversation, it worked kind of well, but not really. During the time that I was talking to him, I was super happy and it was interesting to talk to a person who was also happy. What a coincident! I tried to natural with my typing and not having to double think about what to say, but when I did that, my sentence didn't make sense ): it sucked, but he corrected me.
  
  
• What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations?
  I think I did well on pushing myself to say the right things.
  
  
• What specifically do you need to improve on? 
  When I try to say a lot, I get all mixed up. So maybe I should stick with what I know instead of jamming a whole bunch of words together. 

• Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person?
  I spoke with Cristy. She lives in Chile. I chose her because I liked her name and I knew she spoke Spanish.

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

  She was good at spanish, but needed help with her English. I learned a couple things from her. She helped me spell. 

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

  It helped me speak more spanish and try not to use a translator. Having her there to help me made me more confident.

  I didn't translate. I did use word reference though. But for individual words, not whole phrases. 

• 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)

  I would like to try to keep the conversation going.
