Hola mi amigo!

Como estas?

I am still keeping up to date with my Duolingo streak – I am now at 17 days! I do really enjoy Duolingo however, I need to take on some more challenges in order to improve and practice my Spanish. I have been practicing a lot with my friend Kaylyn and that has been helping a lot. Holding a conversation (even though at times it is very difficult) is the best kind of practice and is something Duolingo could never offer. Kaylyn is very good at speaking Spanish; she took it all throughout high school and is practically fluent. When we talk to one another in Spanish, she is definately the one carrying the conversation and helping me out. It is good practice for the both of us, as when she is helping me that is good practice for her as she has to explain it to me. I want to keep on speaking to Kaylyn in Spanish every once in a while, as it is the best practice I can get.

The next step in my learning journey is an interesting one. I want to start putting Spanish subtitles every time I watch something on Netflix. If I have the audio on in English and I am reading it in Spanish, hopefully I will be able to make the connection between the two. This might be challenging, but it is a simple and hopefully effective way to add Spanish into my every day life!

Tune in in 2 weeks (after reading break) to see how my Spanish Netflix journey goes!
