Last post!

Well I really enjoyed this course and I got out of this class many of things I wanted like learn new vocabulary, meet new people. improve pronunciation. I enjoyed working in groups and also to have shared with others. I think we have done more activities like presentations, work outside.

I didn't contribute with everything I wanted to but at least I tried. I participated more in this course, I could have done it better, though. I think I should have participated more and give more ideas to the group.

And that's all for this last post.

Ciao.

My favorite restaurant

Well my favorite restaurant is "Mi choza" it is located in San Ramon; they have different kinds of food it's very expensive though.

The food is delicious and they're not too greasy.

My favorite dish is called "filet mi choza".

And what I like the most is that they're always trying to make new recipes.

I like to go with my family 'cause we spend a very good moment when we go there.

And that's all for today,
