112 Cultural Post 3

This week I attempted to teach my suite mates how to describe the weather in Portugese. I found that for my roommates that know how to speak Spanish the process was much easier, as the descriptions for weather were very similar to that of Spanish. I found many similarities in their learning process as mine, as I also came from a Spanish to Portuguese. As for my other suite mate who did not understand Spanish the process was quite difficult as I had to explain what each part of the sentences meant in English translation. Overall I felt as though this lesson went quite well, but I would definitely make a different plan for a Spanish speaker, in comparison to a non Spanish speaker.
