Like I stated in class, English is my first language and we speak English at home 90% of the time. So when I started studying Spanish in high school I was too embarrassed to ever ask my parents for help because I felt that I should have known the language. I remember I had Spanish homework and it had a list of activities to do and then, “una respuesta a la lectura.” At the time I didn’t know that “lectura” meant reading so I ended up writing a response to the class or in other words the “lecture.” As soon as I got my homework back I threw it out, I did not want to see my teacher’s comments on it.
