Part of today's homework was to practice using the closed captioning tool in Google Meet. It was really as easy as starting a new meeting and clicking the CC button. Select Spanish as your language and it would just start typing out whatever you said. It was like magic! I'm still trying to figure out how I would use this tool though. Ismar suggested practice speaking and see if the A.I. can recognize or understand you. I blog about it today so I can remember it at a later date in case I come up with another use for it.
I chatted with Iris again today. Sometimes it's easier than others and today I struggled. There were so many things I had a hard time trying to work my way around words I didn't know. But I persevered. We have another call set up for Friday. Afterwards, Ismar sent me a message saying he'd spoken w/ Iris about Friday and asked if that was going to be my final exam for the Desafio. I didn't see why it shouldn't be. I confirmed it should be a videocall and that it should last 30 minutes or so, but it was only necessary to record 5 to 10 minutes. Which is more than enough, in my opinion.
I 'm thinking about setting up daily homework reminders, like reading day, or series watching day. Mondays have become choose your Duolingo events for the week day. I've noticed there are a lot of new hosts so I'm trying not to get too used to the same ones and try to step outside of the box once in a while. Iris said that she's a Duolingo host also, but hasn't yet had very many events. She promised to let me know when she has the next one. And I promised I would try to attend.
My added content is a little eye candy and a very cute video. How cool is the teacher?!
