Texting in Spanish

For my first task of using my second language outside of the classroom, I decided to text my friend Megan Grice about our Spanish class and the homework we were assigned in it.



This assignment was both fun and challenging. I questioned almost everything that I typed because I hate making mistakes. However, because I was texting a friend, it wasn't awkward at all when she did have to correct me. I felt comfortable talking to her because she is on or near my level, so that took off some of the pressure and made it less intimidating. After doing this, she and I decided that we will text in Spanish whenever possible. It helped me with writing, obviously, but I found myself speaking through my thoughts before typing them, so I feel as if it may help me orally, too.
