In Spanish we are now starting to learn differences in the school systems here and in Spanish speaking countries. It is interesting to me how students in Spanish speaking countries go straight into their professions right out of high school unlike here. They are not required to take prerequisites in college. We are also starting how to learn the language in many ways. We learned how to say "i need to" using tener que. We also learned how to say "i feel like" using tener ganas de. We are also learning how to use reflexive verbs, which is kind of tricky for me to learn. Especially when you have to combine it with a gerund or something else. When forming a gerund you use estar + the verb and add either ando or iendo depending on whether it's an ar verb or ir/er verb. I like learning all these new things because we are able to write so much more now.
