In chapter 4 we covered many vocab terms dealing with professions, weather, and clothing. To be honest this was probably one of the more difficult chapters to keep up with due to the fast pace we were going at. I think the easiest vocab terms to remember were the clothes just because in the spanish labs we did an exercise that dealt with what you and your partner would wear on a date or to a job interview. The weather sometimes got tricky because either hace or esta would be used in front of a weather description. The grammer section of chapter 4 explained the usage of reciprocal verbs and stem-changing verbs. the reciprocal verbs are used when you are using a sentence while talking about doing something to or with each other. you would add nos baliamos if you wanted to say we dance with each other. stem changing verbs were difficult because you had to remember which verbs needed stem changing in order for the sentence to come out correctly. Also in this chapter we learned that english words that ended in ly, in spanish had to end with -mente or -amente on the end of adverbs. The word rapidly in English would be changed to "rapidamente" in Spanish.
