D2024/5/10 周五.Passage 1I began learning Spanish when I was in high school,using a traditional academic method of studying verbs,sentence stuctures,and grammar by using textbooks and not much else.I found it very easy to learn,but was frustrated with the slow pace and repetitive nature of all my Spanish classes.So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip a level by the end of the semester.This was unsuccessful,however,because the school was not willing to test me or otherwise prove that I could be sccessful in the top level after skipping a level.This made things even 2024/5/10 周五.more frustrating,as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of the classroom.I studied Spanish literature,culture,and linguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements,but found the indepth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom,including a trip to Mexico with a church group,where I found myself acting as an interpreter.It was certainly challenging,but it was also a lot of fun.I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used my Spanish to teach English to some Spanish speakers.This is probably where I learned the most!2024/5/10 周五.Further practice in listeningPassage 11 Q:What do you know about the speakers Spanish learning experience in high school?D.She showed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of her
