Spanish language

learning Spanish I decided to study where it is spoken and about the culture in those areas. Language is a huge part of culture so it is important to learn about it. Spanish is the official or co-official language in over 20 countries and millions outside those countries speak it. I spent the week researching information about the Spanish culture, including their food, traditional clothing, music and dances. I looked up articles online about Hispanic culture and I also asked my Spanish-speaking…

The culture that I chose to learn about was of the Spanish ethnicity and the Catholic Church; therefore I submerged myself with a Spanish speaking Catholic service at a local church in Murrieta off of Whitewood. My religious affiliation is Christian however the way in which I practice my belief is not the same as with Catholicism. I also do not understand nor do I speak Spanish, I am English speaking only. This would be a new experience for me, and make the experience beneficial I would be going…

disparities due to language barriers, financial difficulties, and fear due to being undocumented. Hispanics face healthcare disparities due to their language barriers.

Autobiographical Literacy Reading serves the purpose of letting you get into the world or the event that is describing the authors in its writing. For many people reading is fascinating and for many other is just awful, for me, reading is just like another activity I could do in my free time when it relates to my likes. Writing is a complicated as it is to have the correct grammar usage and punctuation, which are essential to an excellent essay. Personally, reading is not a big deal for me…

Literacy Narrative Language was something I had never put much thought into until October of my junior year in high school. For sixteen years, I lived in the same town, went to the same school, and was around the same people. I was never exposed to different languages. The farthest I had ever traveled from my hometown was twelve hours to Orlando, Florida for family vacation. I learned about language, reading, and writing in school. English was never my favorite subject but I normally excelled…

community with multicultural influences. I would hear Spanish being spoken, but it was always from a distance. Moreover, even though it is part of my own Puerto Rican heritage, I did not grow up in a household that spoke Spanish. It wasn’t until I transferred to Texas Tech University that my interest in Hispanic culture expanded and became my focus. I was introduced to the Texas Tech University Center in Seville study abroad program in my first Spanish course and was motivated to be involved.…

motivated to travel abroad because I believe it is one of the best ways to learn about different people and societies. During every trip that I have been on, I have learned many new things and showed up back home with new skills. Whether it has been new languages, knowledge of that place 's history, more about their religions, or the appreciation I gained for the delicious foods of the area I had been traveling in, I have always learned a lot from my traveling experiences. My own travel…

mainly spoke spanish, and the students fluent in english along with bilinguals. Of course, I felt comfortable around people who spoke spanish, but as a child I would notice most of my friends who were in the “normal” classes would get small prizes which allowed me to have something to look forward to achieving. Not only that, but a few classmates who had the same interests as me, such as playing video games, only spoke English, therefore, I wanted to do my best to speak to them in a language…

definition may be, I believe that communication is all about creating meaning. Language is a very broad structured system of symbols that allow people to express ideas and feelings to others.The fact that we process language does not always mean that we are communicating well and in a proper manner. Within language there are four key elements: Sounds, words, grammar, and meaning. As a person who speaks multiple foreign languages I have noticed that the element of grammar…
