Spanish Dialogues

Are you a student studying Spanish? Here are some dialogues to review:

Hello! So you are a Native Spanish speaker. If you do not mind my asking, where are you from? How did you learn English? I am always fascinated by people who are able to speak both Spanish and English and that is my goal. I was born in Jamaica, West Indies and presently live in Orlando, Florida where it is smart to know both of those languages. I did Spanish in High School but really did not pay attention as I should have. Don't get me wrong I did pass it but should have continued my studies. But it is never too late to learn it.

¡Hola! Entonces usted es un altavoz español Natal. ¿Si usted no hace caso de mi petición, de dónde están usted? ¿Cómo aprendió usted el inglés? Siempre soy fascinado por la gente que es capaz de hablar tanto español como inglés y es mi objetivo. Nací en Jamaica, Antillas y actualmente vivir en Orlando, Florida donde es elegante saber ambos de aquellas lenguas. Hice el español en la Escuela Secundaria, pero realmente no presté la atención cuando yo debería tener. No consígame incorrecto que yo lo pasé realmente, pero debería haber seguido mis estudios. Pero nunca debe aprenderlo demasiado tarde.

Hello! Would you be interested in practicing both Spanish and English? If you do not mind my asking, where were you born? I was born in Jamaica, West Indies where we speak English and a broken version of English called Patwa. I did Spanish in High School and with living in Orlando, Florida I am working on getting back to speed with Spanish as alot of jobs and intereactions require both Spanish and English.

¡Hola! ¿Estaría interesado usted en la práctica tanto español como inglés? ¿Si usted no hace caso de mi petición, dónde fue nacido usted? Nací en Jamaica, Antillas donde decimos el inglés y una versión rota del inglés llamado Patwa. Hice el español en la Escuela Secundaria y con la vida en Orlando, Florida trabajo en el regreso a apresurarme con el español como alot de empleos e intereactions requieren tanto español como el inglés.

10 Tips of Social Advice for College Students

After deciding to go to college in a completely different city than I went to High School, I understand how students coming to a new environment can feel. Luckily, growing up I was in a military family and very familiar with moving around and making new friends on a regular basis.

1. Go around and meet people that live near you. Knock on doors, introduce yourself.
2. Say hello to everyone. People in class, people on the bus, etc.
3. Organize fun time - have people over to your place, set up group outings to the bars or movies.
4. Get on Facebook and Myspace, add your friends and acquaintances
5. Join social groups on campus - social clubs and fraternities / sororities
6. Find common interests with others and get together to do them
7. Stop by a local church and inquire about college groups
8. Join an intramural sport at your college

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to get out of the house. Try to come up with your own list (and feel free to add a comment below).

Getting Involved in Student Activities

As a college student, getting active in student activities is the way to go. Clubs and organizations are an important part of your education. Why get involved with student organizations?

• Social Networking Opportunities (make friends, network). Why not make a few friends while in college? You don't have to stick to your old methods of meeting people. Often times you can better connect with people that you have certain interests in common with through student activities.
  
• Build Resume for your future career. It never hurts to have a little extra padding for your resume when you graduate. Getting involved in student activities is a good way for a student in college to get some resume material.
  
• Get Leadership Experience - if you take an office, you will start to develop these skills. Don't expect to be perfect right away, you will have mistakes but stick to it anyway.
  

How to do it?

• Look around campus for bulletin boards, advertising clubs, organizations, activities. Nearly every college campus have these, all you have to do is keep your eyes open.
  
• Inquire about an organization for your college major, this is invaluable. Occupation specific college clubs care great for making connections for future jobs.
  
• Ask teachers, professors, and other students about which activities are good. Every campus has a few star programs and a few stinkers too.
