The main focus was use of the past between the imperfect and preterite. Also, use of pronouns and vocab.
I learned about use of different past tenses, pronouns, vocabulary, imperative, and subjective. We also did a lot of speaking in this course.
I learned the preterite and imperfect tenses, direct and indirect object pronouns, vocabulary, the imperative, and more.
I learned several grammar skills and vocabulary.
Content-wise, I learned how to use the preterite and imperfect past in Spanish as well as pronouns, imperative forms, and lots of vocabulary. Learning past tenses helped me think more critically about how we talk about events and be able to identify different perspectives when telling/hearing a story in Spanish. I also practiced my speaking skills.
I gained a broader scope of the Spanish language and improved my reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills. New vocabulary was also taught and increased my understanding of Spanish.
I learned about the past tense, new vocabulary, including foods, clothing, and travel, and grammar rules. I also gained better speaking skills and more confidence in my speaking abilities.
Professor Almudena is truly the funniest, most understanding, overall best Spanish professor.
I think language classes specifically are much harder when taken virtually, so I would have put "Definitely recommend" if it was in-person class.
I have had many Spanish teachers before and none have been like Professor Marin-Cobos. My previous Spanish class, we did not go over the grammar really in class. We just did activities, which I think is fine if you know everything, but to truly learn, you have you have lessons and activities. And that is what we did in class. And the oral practice allowed us to practice even more, which I really appreciated.
