Product
I will show all the Spanish I learned during 20% time.
Technology
I will use my laptop to show off the Duolingo app I used to learn my Spanish and present what Spanish I learned
Reality Check
I don't need much equipment to learn Spanish, just my laptop or my phone to use Duolingo
Possible Roadblocks
I might not have time to do Duolingo everyday and some days I might forget. I will set notifications on my phone so that it will tell me to go on Duolingo every once in a while.
Conclusion
The reason I chose this project was because I always wanted to learn how to speak another language and I thought it would be fun to learn. Spanish was my first choice because it is the second most spoken language in the U.S. There are a lot of people here who can only speak spanish and I think it would be cool if I could talk to them.
