Course Reflective Narrative
SPAN 345: The bilingualism class, in my mind it happened that we only had to speak Spanish and English in the United States. But I got a big surprise. The class was very deep and interesting and something surprising is brain is important for our language. I saw some videos of people, bilingual, multilingual. and monolingual people who do not care more than just their first language. We had the opportunity to interview bilingual person in the community. Fortunately, I have some friends who emigrated to the United States, one of whom speaks Polish, English and now Spanish. Another is from South Korea, he also speaks Korean, English and also Spanish. In that interview the goal was if people made the “code-switching”. Of my three interviewees, there was a “code switching”. I think it's natural to “code switching”, for people who are exposed to two languages. Finally, we had a presentation as a team, our theme was "The traditional dialects and the Southeast" the exciting thing about the research is the way of speaking of the people who live on the border between Mexico and the United States. Also interesting is that also live in different kinds of languages of Latin America and some regions of Spain. Something surprising, I never imagined that linguistics led to studies of the different dialects of Mexico, especially in small towns. I loved the class, for the reason we could know the way of speaking of other people from other countries.
