  1. Hola me llamo David Forostiak, I'm eighteen years old and I just graduated from Urbana High School. I have taken two years of Spanish in the past but have forgotten a lot of what I had learned, which is why I am picking it back up now to get back what I knew and more. I believe Spanish is a very important language to learn in America, with the uprising Hispanic culture coming to America knowing how to speak Spanish has became a valued asset in many fields of work.

  5. Hola me llamo Ashley Morris. I am seventeen years old and I just graudated from Oakdale High School. I have taken two years of spanish in high school in my freshmen and sophomore year. I forgotten most of the language so I wanted to take this class and relearn everything. My goals in this class to be a good writer, speak and understand spanish more fluently. Spanish can help me with my elementary education major because if I had a student that transferred from a spanish speaking country I would be able to understand them and help them more by knowing the language.

  7. Hola, me illamo Michael White. My major of study is Psychology, and will be graduating this semester from FCC. I plan to go to UMBC in the spring, and continue onto a masters in Industrial Organizational psychology. I took this language class because my girlfriend is from Ecuador and I figured I should at least know some of the key aspects of the Spanish language. UMBC will require me to take the following two levels of this class, so I plan to do as well early on so it doesn't become overwhelming.

  8. Hola, me llamo Alexandra Correia. This is my first year at FCC. I really want to be bilingual because I think it will give me an advantage when I look for a full-time job and also help me to better communicate with my Spanish-speaking friends. I took Spanish in high school, but I'm afraid I have forgotten a lot of it.

  9. Hola, me llamo Alex Smith! This is my second year at FCC, and this is my very first experience with a Spanish course. My current major is General Studies, and LS101-2 satisfies my Humanities course requirement. That being said, I chose LS101 over the other course options because ideally I would like to see an abundance of travelling out of country in my future, and it'll be a bit easier if I am fluent in one of the most commonly spoken languages worldwide. :) Through this beginner's course and those following it, I aim to gain a better understanding of the Hispanic culture and communicate fluently in Spanish.

  10. Hola me llamo Marvin Bethel. I am the youngest of four girls. and this is my second go at college. i am glad that i decided to go back to school cause now i only have to take a science course which i am taking this semester to graduate. I am taking Spanish for to reasons one is because i am required to be a part time student to keep my job and secondly my 5 yr daughter is part puerto rican and she does know how to speak a language that is part of her culture. So i would like to try and teach a little to her. My goals is to graduate this semester and than start on my bachelors. My goal for the class is to have a better understanding of the class so that i may share my knowledge with my daughter this summer when i go to visit her i also hope to either get a B or an A in the class. Some of the benefits of speaking Spanish it gives you an edge in today's society because we live in a multicultural country and being bilingual help not one yourself but who you may be talking to if they don't know English very well you can translate for them.

  13. Hola! Me llamo Jacki. I am majoring in music here at FCC, then I will continue my education elsewhere after I graduate. I am taking Spanish mainly because my boyfriend is from El Salvador, and even though he speaks English, I would like to learn Spanish so that I can talk to him in his native language:) Also, I work with a lot of people that speak Spanish, so I think that knowing Spanish will help me communicate with some of my co-workers better, especially if they don't speak English very well. I hope to continue to learn Spanish after this class, and eventually become fluent in the language

  15. Hola, me llamo Seble Solomon. I am twenty-two years old and this is my second time taking a Spanish class (the last one being in high school). I am taking this class because I think learning to speak Spanish will benefit me in the future. I plan on moving to Barcelona, Spain in the next two or three years (having loved it after visiting this summer) so being fluent in Spanish is a must.

  16. Hola, me llamo Thomas Corcoran. I am twenty-four years old, and like several people here I have had a bit of Spanish before, although not since high school. I decided to take this class because I have always wanted to be able to speak and read a foreign language, and Spanish makes the most sense in the USA. I eventually plan on living in Europe (possibly Spain) for a time, and learning to speak now rather than later seems like a good plan.
