In this term of our Spanish 2 class we've been learning about how to use direct and indirect object pronouns in sentences. We can use these types of pronouns to refer to something without directly using it's name. With this new info we can now use sentences like: es el favorito de mi papá. él se lo comerá. which mean's 'That's my dad's favorite. He will eat it.' This concept is important because it makes it so we don't have to keep saying the persons' name after it's already been established. Aside from this, we also learned to use and conjugate -er, -ar, and -ir verbs in the present tense and present progressive. We took these concepts and made it into a little matching game or 'Juego de Pareo'. We made the matching game based on sights and activities from Buenos Aires, Argentina. On top of this we included vocabulary of common neighborhood spots such as churches, banks, schools, libraries, and bookstores. Lastly, we needed to find pictures of action verbs that relate to the grammar we learned, such as the afore mentioned present progressive. Here are the images of before and after playing the matching game with a friend.

This Action project was quite leisurely compared to most but I definitely enjoyed researching Buenos Aires and it's many 'must see' sights. The one part that was quite difficult for me, and took me some time to get down was the present progressive conjugations. They caused me a bit of confusion because mentally I wanted to just conjugate it like I would for the present tense. I learned to correct this silly mistake through practice and a lot of correcting throughout the course of the project. Glad I got the hang of it. If I were to to it again I would probably make more cards for a longer and more varied game. Altogether though I learned a lot and I hope to learn more soon!
