Today I spoke in German, I answered the following questions:
You can access my recording by clicking here The recording went okay because in my previous German classes, we had to answer questions like these often, so it was mainly easy despite the few words Infotgot and had to say in English. But the most difficult part was answering about my personality because we didn't go over much about it and I didn't know how to describe my feelings.

After finishing the 4 objectives, I feel like I'm in Phase 2 because I can read and speak some German but I still have to use English in my sentences because I'm not sure how the sentence structure or the translation of an English word is.
I can use my language study to talk to other artists in Germany or to someone who speaks German so that I get to know their cultural history in art. Another idea of using German is for clients who can only speak fluent German and I can help them out on figuring what they want in their art piece and create it for them. My goal I would like to accomplish through language study is to be able to talk in German enough to where they can understand the basics. Learning a language align with my values of being a communicator and having to express yourself because if I want to express myself to everyone, I have to know how to speak to others so I can put myself out in the world. It's important to study another language because it's better being bilingual so it can help you communicate with others in the future. When learning a new culture and a language, I have to think about how speaking another language can give you another perspective on how people view things because once you're speaking the new language, you get to learn about a new culture at the same time which helps me think about the different perspectives we have as a English and German speaker.

Summary of the first paragraph: Red Riding Hood's mother told her to bring a bottle of wine and cake to her grandmother. Her grandmother lived in the woods. So Red went forth and went to the woods and met a wolf. She didn't know the wolf was a bad guy and told him about her grandmother. The wolf thought "I can eat her grandmother easily." Summary of the whole text: So the main idea of this story was Red Riding Hood meeting the wolf at her grandmother's house and that the wolf was trying to pretend to be the grandmother despite all his abnormal body parts. But the huntsman heard the wolf snoring so he checked if everything was okay with the grandmother. He cut up the belly and the grandmother and RRH came out and thank the huntsman. Finally they had the cake and wine to celebrate. The author retold the story of RHD in a one paragraph selection which made it a bit hard on what part of the story is what. I knew it was RHD but since it was in German, there was a possible chance that they changed the story to fit German cultural norms. So I had to try and decipher some words at the end of the story because I didn't know words like huntsman or opening up the belly is in German so it was a bit difficult. Today I read an article from this website: https://www.hueber.de/media/36/Rotkaeppchen.pdf 1 Part One
