Conversation Reflection:
My original partner for my 3rd Spanish video was not present to film but instead I recorded with Alex Salzar and it went extremely well. Our video was almost 2 minuets long and was very fluent. Alex did a very good job on improvising with my questions that I had prepared and spoke very clearly which made it a lot easier to understand. If we had more time I feel like it could have been close to 3 minuets. Alex did a very good job with clarifying and checking Spanish phrases that I had written down. For myself, I also did a good job improvising with a new partner but i'm still happy with the video. I studied a lot so no mistakes would be made and also worked pronunciation. I look forward to seeing the length of my next video and the different questions because for my Spanish skills just keep improving.

Conversation Reflection:
I thought this time it went better than the last, because I had more time to practice and I knew a lot more phrases. I'm also starting to feel more comfortable when speaking, probably because I practice more and repeat them over and over again. I knew the conversation would go okay, the only thing I was nervous about was forget a question or a response to the question. Overall though, it went better than I had anticipated. My partner, Aidan Paul, studied a lot and memorized all the questions that were asked during the presentation. I could see that he was showing effort to make the conversation flow nicely. For myself, I need to improve in memorization and studying more. Studying every night for at least 30 minuets would definitely help my memorization.

Conversation Reflection:
1. What are you already good at?
So far in Spanish, I'm only good at simple greeting and questions. Even then I do not feel confident with it
2. What would you say is that most challenging part of speaking/developing in Spanish?
Definitely being comfortable with it, when speaking in front of the class I feel nervous so what ever I had memorized before I'll forget. So me not being comfortable with it affects how I develop in Spanish in a negative way.
3. How do you imagine practicing Spanish outside the classroom to increase your vocabulary & comfortability?
Practicing with family members with things like flash cards or by myself just to memorize. Also using things like Rosetta stone to help me remember.
4. Please give a shout out to your partner?
Carlos Barragan the whole time was helping me with asking me questions and pernounciation. He was a big help to answer small question and without him I would not have known most of the things I knew when presenting.
