When I first signed up for this class it was because it was the only thing that fit in with my schedule. I also assumed that telenovela was just the Spanish word for soap opera. I have never really been hooked on a particular soap opera before, so I was curious to see how this would go for me. However, after watching the powerpoints in the two classes we've had so far, I quickly discovered that telenovelas were in there own realm of television, and that we were actually comparing them to the typical American soap opera. I am a little nervous that my Spanish will not be good enough to watch one and fully keep up, but I am definitely excited for the challenge to improve my Spanish. Also, many of the clips we have watched in class have interesting story lines so I am excited to pick one to watch. I have never really thought about studying a show in depth and think this will be a neat opportunity.
