106/365 - Midterms
On Tuesday I had my midterm exam in Portuguese, after a long day in the Guildford office. I didn't have a lot of time to study for the exam, and I think it's going to show!
The listening comprehension was near impossible - man do Portuguese speakers talk fast! I did okay on the reading comprehension - I'm able to read Portuguese pretty well (it's the speaking and listening that's hard!)
The last part of the test was flat out humorous. I had to write 100 words on the culture of my home country. Oh man. It was something like this: "Americans like to work. Americans are fat. Americans eat a lot of turkey and are rich." It was full of the worst stereotypes you could possibly imagine only because they were the easiest words I could come up with!
