For week 7 i am starting to plan a day to call my Grandma and have the conversation. I am planning to have a practice conversation. Also I want to start making a script on what to say during my phone call.
Week 6:
I finished all of Unit One.
Week 5:
Week 4:
For week 4 I have been talking to my mom about what things to say in a conversation with my Grandma. I have also been talking to my Grandma and she is so excited that I am doing this. She agreed to record the conversation and recommended that I let her the questions that I will be asking before the real. This made me decide that I am going to write a list of the questions in Spanish and give one to my grandma. I am planning on not using it during the final conversation.
Week 3:
For week 3 I have completed all the gold units. It has mostly been a review because the units just build on each other. I also knew most of the things that the app is teaching me
Week 2:
This is what I completed so far. I try to work on the app 20 minutes a day. There are 4 mini lessons in one unit. After you complete the lessons you can test out. I have tested out of Basic 1, Phrases, and Basic 2. After about a week the lessons become not complete and it makes you test out again for review.
Week 1:
I am going to explore websites and apps to learn Spanish. Also I am going to talk to my mom about helping me and giving me mini lessons on some Spanish topics.
About Duolingo:
For Spanish I have been using a Spanish app called Duolingo. Duolingo is a free language-learning platform that includes a language-learning website and app, as well as a digital language proficiency assessment exam. Duolingo offers all its language courses free of charge.

End Goal
My end goal is to be able to speak more Spanish than I did coming into this. Also I want to be able to have a conversation with my Grandma and to be able to communicate with my moms side of the family.
