I really enjoyed this project. It was very nice to have absolute freedom in a project. I was able to put my creativity into making a somewhat silly story while maintaining an educational value. One can hear from my voice how into the story I was. I was very dedicated to this project. After writing the story and going through to fix as many errors I could find I had to do the recording. Blabberize gave me the option to either directly record my sample or upload one. However, if I uploaded audio it had to be under 30 seconds, but if I recorded it directly onto the site it could be as long as I liked. Because, my story was quite lengthy, I had to record onto Blabberize. This meant that when I mispronounced a word I had to begin all over again. Although it was frustrating, I kept my patience and I was forced to practice speaking in German, with an accent many times. The main problem with this project was the volume, but that was the website's fault. As Dr. Cadd noted, I did have some trouble with the longer imperfect verbs. All the "te" suffixes begin to get complicated after a while. Although I have learned this is not the norm for most German-learners, I find the imperfect past easier. I also kind of enjoy the irregular forms and think they are fun to use. I was able to showcase my ability to use the simple past when telling the story. However, because I included quotations, which do not use the Präteritum, I was able to practice my perfect past too. Because of the format of the DULAP program, we do not practice presentational speaking very often, despite it being one of the goals identified. I considered this project as a form of presentational writing and speaking. This was a detailed retelling of an event. In the future, I need to work on speaking more smoothly. I believe that by continuing to practice German that with time, I will be able to speak smoother and more naturally.
