Hi there!
The name is Alejandra Naranjo. I am 20 years old, turning the big 21 this summer. I am Mexican-American and speak fluent in Spanish, but I still need to work on writing it (the accents are hard for me). I can be quite shy when it comes to meeting new people, but once you get to know me a bit better it will be hard for me to stay quiet. Like any other 20 year old, I like hanging out with my friends, watching movies, listening to music and reading books. I am into photography and ceramics. I am currently trying to learn piano, which I always wanted to do and now I am finally getting around to it.
I am taking this class because it is a required course for the certificate in Language Studies in Spanish. Even though I'm taking this class for the certificate, I also love learning about different cultures, customs, the people and their languages. Learning a different language has to be in the top 5 of my bucket list! I'm interested in learning Korean, German, Italian or American Sign Language. One day I'll get to travel to such places till then I look forward to learning Linguistics and getting to know you guys throughout this semester!
P.S. I'm a big fan of quotes because they help me express myself so
I'll most likely add them in every post I write as a bonus.
Chow!
Nunca he podido recordar donde poner mis accentos cuando escribo en Español. I understand completely. In Argentina we/they would write Chau and in the original Italian it would be Ciao. I am wondering where you get that spelling of Chow or is it English for eating/to eat and I just missed the whole point? :)
ReplyDeleteLa mayoria de las veces el acento esta donde tiene la fuerza de pronunciación, la otra razón es conocer la palabra.
DeleteI really like you quotes, I will be looking forward to read you quotes, because as I read it, I feel like I been transported to another place. Is amazing that you are following you life goal, and you have starting by beginning to play the piano, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm a fan of great quotes too. I can't really remember who says them most of the time but when I come across one that stands out, I'll save it on my phone under my notes so I can refer back to them in the future, What I admire about them the most is how powerful they can be and how some seem to relate perfectly to your life.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm curious as to what books you're interested in. Like, what is your favorite genre or your "go-to book?"
And finally, I wanted to learn Korean too for awhile but I felt like learning Japanese AND Korean would just slay me haha.
Sweet blog!
