In this partial we cover different topics. I was familiar with some concepts, but I had a better understanding of how to use them in conversation and writing. I especially enjoyed the exercises as they helped me apply what we learned.Although my skills have improved, I need more. The vocabulary lessons about everyday situations were useful, but sometimes in the exams I got confused.If I could go back, I would remind myself to accept mistakes as learning opportunities. In general, I feel good and I want to continue learning and get a better grade.
