Chapter 4

Chapter 4 was a useful chapter involving professions, clothes, and weather. Under professions, there was a lot of material regarding the employment/interviewing process. For the most part, the chapter did a great job covering most of the common professions (lawyers, doctors, etc). The clothes and weather were useful too.

Grammatically, we were introduced to reciprocal verbs, in which the action is shared between two or more people. Up to this point, we have discussed verbs describing things we do to ourselves, but not things done with others. The new concept caused some confusion when it was mixed with reflexive verbs and gustar. Specifically, whether indirect object pronouns were used or not.

In my opinion, the test was difficult because of the vocabulary. I could distinguish what a certain verb was in context, like poner being to put, but once it was put next to other verbs (poder, hacer), I started getting confused.

I look forward to Chapter 5.
