Using Skype to talk with native speakers
On Monday, we will be trying the services provided by Dickenson College to communicate with native Spanish speakers via Skype. This is a first for me and I’m sure it will be a little chaotic. Crossing my fingers and I’ll let you know how it goes. We will have basic questions prepared and the students will talk for twenty minutes in Spanish and twenty minutes in English.
For those of you interested in trying this yourself, create an account at http://www.language-exchanges.org/, also known as “The Mixxer”. This is a terrific service that thousands of language learners around the world can take advantage of.
Visitas a Bent Elementary
Los estudiantes de SPAN102 y SPAN201 están visitando a los chicos de Bent Elementary para que practiquen (tanto los grandes como los pequeños) su lectura en español. Esperamos visitar cada dos semanas a las clases de Sra. Weeks y Sra. Mulligan. ¡Gracias a todos por participar en este intercambio tan lindo!
