To complete the MLO 1: Language and Proficiency, I had to take different courses, I took; SPAN 426, SPAN321, SPAN 301, SPAN 304, SPAN 365, SPAN 315. These courses were intense, and ones more than others. Throughout this class I had the opportunity to put into practice what I already knew and the opportunity to learn even more. I put in practice my reading, writing, communication and listening skills. All the activities carried out in class helped me to expand my learning and knowledge. The essays and presentations helped me a lot because put in practice my writing and vocabulary. In these classes I had the opportunity to meet many people and share ideas with them, learn more about different cultures and especially learn more about Spanish. At the end of these classes I realize that my vocabulary and writing have improved a lot as well as other of my skills.
