This course meets MLO2: Linguistics
Advanced Grammar was an interesting course because it was challenging but engaging at the same time. This course required students to have an open mind about Spanish in terms of how they speak it. There is always a chance to work on Spanish and this course fulfilled the MLO due to the vocabulary and grammar that we were introduced to. Although I knew some of the things we first learned in the course already, I was able to obtain more information about how we can understand the Spanish language at a more advanced level in order to help us speak it better depending on the conversation we are trying to have. This course consisted of a lot of daily discussions on the readings as well as group sessions where we talked about what we learned in that specific section. This course also asked us to see the different perspectives regarding the Spanish language and how it varies depending on where you come from. There was an emphasis on the variation of Spanish and how there is no right or wrong way to speak it, more of a way you speak it depending on who you are talking to. That was a valuable linguistics course because language is constantly evolving and won't always stay the same. The last couple of weeks for this course we were to organize ourselves into groups and observe a video of a Spanish speaking artist for our final paper. In that video, there was an interview being conducted and we had to identify the different phenomena of language in that video. Down below is my section of the paper about the artist’s use of language when referring to any direct objects and indirect objects.
