  1. I had already learned this in high school so it was a good review. The er/ir endings have never stuck with me though so this helped a lot. I liked the chance to do the flashcards and matching as much as I wanted to because that helps me a lot.

  2. I really enjoyed how the fill in the blank allowed me to see if i got it right or wrong immediately. Therefore I wouldnt be learning false informations. I also liked the slide show because I was able to go at my own pace.

  7. The powerpoint and activities that went with it were a nice review of el imperfecto, which I learned in high school. The youtube video gave me a pretty good laugh. These steps made learning el imperfecto quick and entertaining.

  8. The activities were not only informative but also interactive. I'd highly recommend this program to anyone who is having trouble grasping the idea of imperfecto tense. I feel as though I understand the ir/er endings better now after going over the activity. I personally prefer doing these actives rather than centro, i feel as though Im learning rather than filling in blanks.

  9. I really enjoyed tha matching game, the flashcards helped me to review before I did the matching. I thought that the you tube video was also a good way to mix things up. I really like these more interactive activities, I feel that it makes it easier and more fun to learn the maerial.

  10. I like this method of learning new material. Games and silly videos make the information stick better than if it were lectured to me. The quiz was helpful and the paragraph we had to write told me I submitted nothing when I didnt even click anything yet... I dont know, some kink in it.

  12. These exercises were fun and helpful at the same time! I liked the matching and the powerpoint was very helpful too, even if that was a little boring, it was needed.

  14. This power point was helpful and informative. I also enjoyed the matching and flash card activities. I had some troubles with the flash cards but on the bright side they gave me a list of verbs to practice. The most helpful activity in my opinion was the Fill in the Blank activity. It put the verbs into context but not in an overwhelming way. At the end I didn't feel confident enough to write a paragraph, but after an attempt i did feel more confident in using the verbs in at least a sentence or two.

  15. I liked the powerpoint because it demonstrated the verbs in the paragraphs before teaching the formula. It was very clear and easy to understand and the games and quiz were good too, it was challenging enough but not too hard to be able to do.

  16. I enjoyed these activities alot. They started simples as opposed to centro which just drops you on something new. It actually makes sense when you start this.

  18. I liked these activities as compared to the ones that we have to do in centro. I like how it corrects your answers as you're going, it makes it easier to understand what you are doing wrong.

  19. i like these exercises better than centro, they were easier in the sense that there wasn't just one simple answer and that the exercises understood that some of the answers could be something else

  20. This exercise is definitely better than centro to me. It's more fun and more encouraging. I enjoyed it. Besides, I myself is a visual learner, so I prefer something like this. Images and colors help me memorize the information faster and longer. So, I would absolutely recommend this form of teaching and learning.
