On Tuesday, we had a catered, Mexican food luncheon. It was a wonderful end to our unit on food. We explored many different cultures of hispanic food, including, Venezuelan, Pueblo Mexican, and Peruvian cuisines. We had a chance to savor Pueblo food. This is how it went:

Henninger Conversation, Post 5 - Deportes

Pre-Conversation:

•  What will be your topic of conversation be? 

Sports, deportees, in other countries.


•  What are 5 questions related to your conversation goal that you can think of ahead of time to ask your partner?

 - ¿Te gusta deportes?

 - ¿Qué deportes juegas?

 - ¿Qué deportes se puede ver en la televisión?

 - ¿Cuál es tu deporte favorito?

 - ¿Tiene usted un atleta profesional favorito?


•  What are you looking forward to about this conversation? 

It will be interesting to see what sports are popular there versus the US.


•  What are you nervous about? 

Not everyone likes/plays sports so it may be difficult to have a good conversation about it. 



Post-Conversation

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

I spoke to Luiz, 16, from Brazil. I chose to speak to him because he was around my age and I thought the conversation would be easier and simple. 


• What did you learn about them? 

I learned that he likes soccer and basketball. He also told me that people knowing about American football is rare in Brazil. He's only seen one American football game. 


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

It helped me get a better idea of what life is like for a south American teenager. In many ways it's very similar to my own but there are definitely some differences. 


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

I learned about sports in Brazil.


• 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 wish I could have continued the conversation for longer and get more information.

Spanish Post

In this conversation me and Estafan talked about football, we argued because he said that he liked the Chargers and that said the Eagles sucked.  He told me that he likes Calvin Johnson and Antonio Gates and they are two of his favorite players.  He said that the eagles were crazy and that they were worst then the Chargers.

Post #5

My final blog post dealt with governmental issues in a large countries. I spoke with a girl from Brazil. She told me that the problems are universal and that the government tries to control it but something it doesn't work. I realized that the stereotypes for Spanish speaking countries are not contained in only Spanish countries but it's a worldwide problem that some countries have found a way to handle and some haven't. My partner this week talked about the president trying to handle the problems but not having much control. There was more to our conversation but it did not save.

How to save Bell Pepper Seeds

Bell peppers are probably one of the easiest vegetables to collect seeds from. Mainly for the fact that all their seeds are found on the core of the pepper, and the process of removing them is really simple. You first cut the pepper but try to avoid the core, basically cut around the core, that way it’s easy to remove the core and seeds. Once you cut the pepper, you remove the core. Once the core is removed, you then take a knife and carefully scrape the seeds off it. You then take the seeds and place them into a bowl and let it dry for about 3 days. You will know it is dry when you can snap them in half. Once they are dry you can just put them in a container and or envelope, label them, and BAM! You got yourself bell pepper seeds for the springtime. One of the cool parts about these seeds is you can actually store the seeds up to 3 years. So you have some time to plant them. 

"Collapse" of American Dream (animated)

"Collapse" of American Dream (animated). While this cartoon is highly biased in its approach, it does a good job of explaining the relationship between the FED (Federal Reserve Bank), the US Govt and the taxpayer. It approaches the age-old debate between regulation and deregulation, state vs federal authority, and private vs. public control of our markets. Lots of questions should follow.

La Cazuelas

On tuesday we had a luncheon from las cascuelas. It was really cool to see all the food . I really enjoyed the food and my favorite was the chicken with green sauce. I liked both of the drinks. The juice had an interesting taste and it was pretty different, from your average fruit punch. I really enjoyed the milk cake it tasted like rice pudding.

On Monday, we had a Mexican feast in Spanish class. It was very exiting! I enjoyed getting to try all sorts of new foods. Also, lo siento  for the lack of original pictures. They were taken on a friends phone, and this friend accidentally deleted them.

ps- Thanks to Senorita Manuel for applying for the grant that gave us the huge discount on the luncheon!

Las Cascuelas

On tuesday we had a luncheon from las cascuelas. I was really excited for it and at the time I was really hungry to. I really enjoyed the food and my favorite was the rice. I didn't taste the milk but I did taste the juice. The juice had an interesting taste and it was pretty different. I never tasted juice like that and I was surprised because I thought it was taste something like fruit punch. All in all I really enjoyed the food.

​On May 22, 2012, our spanish class have a luncheon on different foods. I am a very picky eater, I enjoy most of the foods but some i didn't. I was so curious on how the food might taste like but at the same time I was scare to try it because I'm not use to eating new foods.  Just from that day, I learn a lot about spanish foods. i found their style amazing and i love how they made the chicken. When I ate the chicken I though that I was in heaven maybe even dreaming. I love eating meat and the next thing that i know was that I went up for second for chicken and pork. It was a amazing experiment. I kinda regret not trying new things, hahaha.

Las Cazuelas

En ingles por favor. In spanish one  as the year ended we started talking about different hispanic cultures. A major thing we learned about was the type of food, and ingredients. It was a very fun start the the fourth semester. On May 22nd we got to experience food from a restaurant called "Las cazuelas." heres my opinion on the food.

Proyecto de Conversación: Slapdash Endings

Annisa Ahmed
Español lll, D Band
Conversation Project: Week Five

Antes de Conversación:
What will your topic of conversation be?
    Either trends/clothing styles or trying to find out what the other does for a living.
What are you looking forward to about this conversation?
    Well, I am mostly looking forward to an ongoing conversations that will hopefully be the longest ones yet.
What are your nervous about?

    Nothing in particular, I just want it to go well.

Después de Conversación:
Who did you speak with and why did you choose them?
     As always, people pop up and I join the conversation.
What did you learn about them?
    I am now aware that Mauro is from Chile and works as a tour.
How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your goal?
    It was more of a dud than what I was used to. Along with the other talks I have had this week, most of the people have asked for my Facebook name or a Skype username, neither of which I have, so yeah.
What did you do well according to your goals?
    Not really. The convo was not really long nor did I get to really ask any of the questions I wanted to. 
What specifically do you need to improve on?
    Staying on task because time and time again, I jump around and never really get on the topics I planned on. Plus, I get distracted pretty easily.

​Tuesday from 2:00-3:00 my spanish one class had an all spanish cuisine for lunch, which was very delicious. There wasn't one thing that I did not like. Me being a picky eater, that's a really big thing. I wanted to eat another whole plate, but I was full from my lunch that I had 2 hours ago. I actually forgot that we had the lunch in that day, but that's beside the point. I really enjoyed the food and the drinks that were served. The drinks were like a mixture of thing that you wouldn't really find in regular drink. My favorite drink was the white one with the cinnamon. It reminded me a lot of egg nog. The red one was good as well,  but the white stood out the most to me. Our class should do things like this more often. I like hands on learning and this was a perfect way to help me learn my spanish food.

The luncheon had my class trying new foods and experiencing a part of another culture. I learned that it is definitely great to be open minded, because there is a good chance that you'll find something great... like the awesome tres leches cake.

We had a very good luncheon during Spanish class. The food was fantastic and very enjoyable to eat. We kept on eating and eating. Next thing you know that your plate is empty. A lot of people went to get their second plate. I had to admit, I was one of them. My favorite was the tacos dorados. It was very crispy. And for dessert, we had a piece of cake. But some had more than one. It was kind of like a buffet, which I like. Almost forgot, the drink that I had was amazing. I believe it was rice milk. I learn that there are many foods out there that I haven't tried. And I'm glad that I tried everything that was available. It was the best experience form the beginning of the luncheon to the end.

Blog Post 5

​I finished my last conversation with my partner and I found it to be very interesting. I learned that he is very involved with his church and enjoys working with young people. It helped me realize that lots of people are involved with their church and it is a good thing. I think this was a very strong conversation and I understood a lot more I think.

$$ Crisis Financiera En Perú (Quinto Objectivo) $$

lmaperu
lmaperu
​Economic Center of Peru.
Conversation Question: How is the current global economic crisis affecting people in foreign countries?


Pre-Conversation:


•  What will be your topic of conversation be?

I will talk about how the financial crisis is affecting people in their everyday lives. We learned about "Huelga total en la enseñanza" in Spain but we still need to learn about this same situation in other countries.


•  What are 5 questions related to your conversation goal that you can think of ahead of time to ask your partner?

1. How has the global financial crisis affected you and your family?

2. Are there budget cuts in education?

3. How do you save money?

4. Are things like groceries and fuel more expensive?

5. Do you think life will improve soon?


•  What are you looking forward to about this conversation?

I am looking forward to learning more about how the economic crisis is affecting people across the globe. I am excited to learn about the outlook of the people and how they are coping. We have learned about the issues facing Spain and the cuts that were made to the education system but I want to expand this to other countries.


•  What are you nervous about?

I am a little nervous about this conversation because this is an advanced topic and I might not know all the vocabulary words that I will probably need. This is why did did now some prior work trying to get some of the essential vocabulary words that I will need for my conversation.


Post-Conversation:

Reflection:

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

I spoke with Hector Paisanocharca from Lima, Peru. I wanted to talk to Hector because he is 38 years old and he is likely to know more about the financial situation in his country.

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

Hector told me that the financial crisis did not affect Peru as much as it did other countries. However, Peru has seen a rise in the price of goods and services. Hector also said that the economy of Peru is seeing less growth. On the family level, he says that people have to spend more money for the same products than they did before. Hector says that he had to cut back on spending to save money. I also learned that sometimes the prices of gas and groceries sometimes double in Peru. Hector is very optimistic and thinks that life will get better soon. I also told Hector the life int he United States has gotten very hard for some people and prices are higher. People here in the US are also trying to save money by spending less.

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

I learned many new spanish vocab words from this interaction with Hector. I also got to learn about the financial struggles of people in Peru while at the same time sharing information about the economic impact here in the United States. Finally, I got to use my existing spanish language to form sentences and ask questions of Hector.


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

One of the things that I did well is that I went into this conversation not knowing anything about the financial situation in Peru but came out with a vast amount of knowledge. The conversation flowed very easily and I responded to Hector's questions very quickly. I used my five pre-conversation questions to push the conversation along in the direction I intended. I also used different verb tenses in my conversation with the  correct conjugations.

• What specifically do you need to improve on?

Over the course of all my blog posts, I have managed to improve on my conversation skills and for my fifth blog post, I am proud to say that I don't think I need to improve on anything except for small errors such as punctuation. I also need to improve a little on my spelling but I did excellent in other areas such as conjugation.

Las Cazuelas

​Introduction:

En ingles por favor. As Spanish 1 came to an end, we learned and had a lot of fun. During the weeks of our last course, we learned about the different hispanic cultures like Pruebla, Perú, and Poblano. Within the different cultures, we learned that their foods are created very differently than american foods. This week, we were thrilled to have a catered lunch with Las Cazuelas Restaurant and we were astonished on how great the foods were.
