semana 7 - mini-dialogue / mini-story

You should be able to create a mini-story (historia) by piecing together the vocabulary and phrases you have learned thus far in Weeks 1-6. You should be able to:

• introduce yourself/say "Hello!"/ask others how they're doing

• provide your phone number

• talk a little bit about your family members

• mention your wants and likes (or dislikes)

• describe objects by color and number

• explain what you're eating and drinking (or like to eat/drink)

• discuss work and office items

• ask questions about wants, likes, foods, drink, work, etc.,

...and with this week's content you can even begin to discuss symptoms, illnesses, body parts (internal and external), and talk about pain/discomforts.

For some of you, creating a 5-6 sentence mini-story in Spanish is a mountain worth climbing! You can hone your pronunciation/spoken accent delivery, play with the length of your sentences, and pretend you're giving a short speech.

For others, you may want to pair up with a partner and create a Dialogue in Spanish where you practice holding a semi-realistic conversation—providing information, asking questions, and naturally holding your own with someone else. This give-and-take is good practice for sensing the flow of a conversation and being able to hone your listening skills and rhythm/pacing.

Whichever option you choose, your goal is not speed or glamour. It's pronunciation, clarity, volume, confidence, rhythm, and inclusion of correct vocabulary. So prepare to wow your instructors (even if it's just 3-4 sentences!) this week.

¡Buena suerte! (Good luck!)
