session #10

Hello everybody This is my last blog, so I'm going to do an evaluation of blogging. I remember the first blog i writte was about me, so i felt a little intimidated of exposed personal data in the internet, but then, i thought that i was exaggerating. So i got relaxed. In next blogs i'm started to write faster. I think blogging helped me to write better in english, because with the practice i incorporated new vocabulary and i started to searching new ways to say some things in order that not repeating the same words. once in a while I had to learn words relating to my career, like weave, pottery, relief, burlap, etc. In my blog number seven, i got exited of writting about the weavers of lo hermida, so i did a very long blog, i belive that was my best blog ehehe. I would like to write a story or fable in English, would be an interesting experiment. Then maybe share with the rest of the class, so also practice our pronunciation.

Session #9

Hello everybody The theme to write today in my blog is "a country i'd like to visist in the future". I'd like to visit China,they have too many different things to Chile, food, language, landscapes, etc. I would travel to China mainly to learn chinese, because is a milenary language and have distinct letters/simbols to spanish.

Session #8

Hello everybody Today I'm going to talk about a subject i've enjoyed this semester. Well, this semester i have a lot of subjects, seven in total, and almost all i've enjoyed. But i choose "maputhüngun", because it is the most different subject that i have now. I like this subject because when you are learning other languages ​​you can see the differences between your traditional culture and the new you are learning, because the lenguages ​​are a clear reflection of the culture that uses it. In class we see different things, from grammar to Mapuche religion. Sometimes it is very hard, because the conjugate verbs are distinct from Spanish and English. For example spanish have six personal pronouns, three singulars and three plurals. In maputhüngun are nine: iñche, eimi, fei, iñchiu, eimu, feiengu, iñchiñ, eimn, feiengün. They have 3 pronouns singulars, 3 duals, and 3 plurals. Sometimes you can conjugate an adjective, like kofke (bread), transform it to ko...
