Week beginning Monday 16th Nov

So I managed to get my head around reflexive verbs for Spanish. I just spent a bit of time on it using different techniques to try and understand like, chopping up pieces of paper each with the conjugation and the verb and kept testing myself.
Since last post I have spent more and more time on Spanish. Even during any bus journey I take I make sure I have my iPod with me so I can listen to Spanish when I have any spare time. I going to the intercambio and hopefully meeting up with a partner next week. All this is helping but I'm aware I need to keep stepping it up a level. For next week I want to work on my fluency in my Spanish speaking. I want to work on my scanning texts while I'm reading information for essays I'm writing. We did a great exercise with Evan today that made me realise that if you concentrate on what you are looking for, scanning is so easy and fast.
So hopefully by next week I can look back and see that I'm working faster by using this technique and also getting more done.
Everything is really linking together now through the subjects. I do wish I could have some specific Spanish homework though. I know we are supposed to be taught this way to become more disiplined, but learning a language is so different to the other subjects.
