ReplyDeleteI watched this video 4 times(spent over an hour analyzing) and slowed it down, stopped it, thought about it etc. I feel the purpose of this video was to show us the things that are important to him. We found out the 3 things are photography, education, and serving the community. He wanted to share that you can express yourself through photography. The idiom I had a hard time with. I translated it as he likes photography because it is a father. I tried really hard to think about what this could possibly mean. The only thing I came up with is that a father teaches you things and therefore photography teaches him things. Doesn't make sense but I tried! I cannot think of an English idiom that would relate or is similar to this. I think he likes taking pictures because he can see the world through his art. Exploring new things and frontiers- I guess he means it's like books, you can go places without actually going there. I like the video and photography. I like the video because I enjoyed learning about him and his favorite activities, all while practicing my Spanish skills :) I like to look back on pictures that I have taken and it tells a story and reminds me of a time in the past.
This video highlights what Diego likes to do in is spare time.
ReplyDeleteOne of his favorite activities is photography. Photography provides Diego the opportunity to express himself artistically.
Another one of his favorite activities is learning new things, such as making a candle out of an orange peel. It's so cool.
Finally, Diego tells us that his final favorite activity is spending time with family, friends, and others in his community. He enjoys life and being happy.

This was a easy video to follow except when he started creating the orange candle. When I replayed it and isolated certain words and realized he likes to learn about new things and invent stuff, then it made more sense as his second favorite thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI think what he meant with new frontiers is a translation error of saying he likes to explore new things. When he kept saying, "muy padre" which I directly translated to very father, so I had to Google it. It is a very poplar term and it means "how cool" or basically, as we would say, "very cool" or basically a term to suggest that something is cool. This is something I've never heard my students say because I would have noticed since I recognize the words. I discovered this is a term in Mexican culture, which I do not have many Mexican student as I have El Salvadorian, so I wonder what "cool" is for those students. I'm sure they've said it a lot. Basically, Diego likes taking photos because he likes the expression of art and it is very cool "muy padre".
This is a fun video that would be great to have the kids do as use their cultural slangs to help me better understand their culture and what they love to do in their free time.

ReplyDeleteThe first time we watched this in class I was frustrated because I wanted to understand what he was saying. I could only pick up on maybe 3-4 words. I have watched it several more times and stopped after each sentence to try to figure out what he was really talking about. I did google some words to have a better understanding of the video. My take aways are:
ReplyDeleteHe likes taking pictures as his main activity because he expresses himself through art. I was so confused about the padre piece of the sentence. I thought his father inspired him and come to find out, it had nothing to do with his dad. Muy padre means "very cool." I spoke to my friend who is Mexican, and she said "que padre" is a very common saying for very cool as well. Diego likes to explore things and learn. One way he does this is through photography. I believe that is what he means by saying he can explore through new frontiers because its cool. I think he also expresses that education is important to him. (Thus making candles with household supplies. The last activity really helped me to understand that Diego is a well-rounded kid. This was the most important activity because he was helping others and it made him happy. He visited an orphanage and helped low income people in the community. My overall impression of the video is that Diego is a great young man. After googling many of the unknown words and watching it again, I had a better understanding of the meaning, but overall it is still very fast and I am not sure I would have understood it if I didn't break it down the way I did.
The purpose of this video is for Diego to show viewers what he enjoys doing in his spare time. Diego enjoys photography, creating things, and helping others in his community. I think Diego is saying how cool photography can be and how it can influence how you view or perceive the world. I wasn't sure what "muy padre" meant and even asked one of my native Spanish-speaking friends who was also stumped. We deduced that is it slang and might mean that its cool? When he is talking about exploring new frontiers, I believe he is referring to how his hobbies can help him explore the world around him and open himself to new experiences and viewpoints. Photography is a helpful hobby because it does make you view the world differently. My reaction to this video is mixed! I wished that my students expressed interest in so many varied hobbies. I think that Diego is doing a wonderful job ignoring the siren call of his phone that I think most teenagers do answer in order to broaden his interests.
ReplyDeleteHeather Trovinger
Diego clearly has a love of learning. He takes pictures to educate himself. It is exciting to see him get excited each time he uses his camera. He also uses his exploration of photography to help others. He definitely serves a purpose by giving back to his community and helping the orphanage he showed us pictures of. I took away the purpose of the video to be that the love of learning is all around us. However, some like Diego, embrace the opportunity and are grateful for the experience. We too, should learn from Diego to always see what we can learn from our daily experiences and to always be kind to others in any way possible. Diego is a great teen role model. I could see why this video would be especially a great discussion in a school setting Spanish class.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the video was to show what Diego enjoys doing in his spare time. The phrase 'me gusta la fotografia porque es bien padre' I think means that it is the best - like a father is the head of a household, photography is the head of his interests. I'm not sure what a similar phrase would be in English but maybe 'top of the heap' or 'the bomb'.
ReplyDeleteHe likes to take pictures because he enjoys nature and expressing himself and exploring new things.
This was a good video to listen to someone speak with some expression about different things without being too complicated.
- Jill Armogida
The purpose of this video is to explain a teenager's thinking and living his life well.
ReplyDeleteThe expression with porque es bien padre-means he loves taking photographs a whole lot.In English it is like God!I love doing this activity, means you emphasize what you like most in this way.
He loves taking pictures of things he likes(nature-flowers,moon.landscapes...),he expresses this through photography.
I loved this video and I would like to be like Diego.Diego is curious to learn about new things like the science experiment ,artistic and creative by taking pictures.He is also a good human being who likes to help others and give them a smile.He says that by helping others you help yourself too.That is a fact.
I love the way he says wake up with the thought of doing what excites you and leads you to be happy.

ReplyDeleteThe video taught us about Diego's interests and likes! He liked photography, learning and helping others.
ReplyDeleteWhen he said "Me gusta la fotografia por que es muy padre" I translated this to mean he liked photography because it was very cool. In english we might say, "It's sweet!"
Diego liked photography because he likes to take pictures of things he likes and imagines and it helps him express himself through art. It allows him to explore new "frontiers", new places.
I enjoyed watching the video, because I felt like I was able to understand Diego and what he was trying to communicate. I was able to see him move through the whole photography phase from taking a picture to editing. I learned about something new I could try at home too. Diego gave us a glimpse into his life and it seems like he is a cool, creative, kind guy!
I feel the purpose of the video is for Diego to share his passion with his viewers. It is clear that Diego loves Photography and that it is very important to him.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that "Me gusta
la fotografía porque es bien padre", means that I like photography because it is something my father was very good at.
An expression that we have
in English to express the same thing
meaning might be "I followed in my father's footsteps."
I think that Diego likes taking pictures because he can express himself, he enjoys exploring new places and he likes helping his community.
I think that when he says that "you can explore new things and frontiers thru photography" that he means that his work can take him to new places for new experiences. This way he can see new things and learn about the world.
I personally liked the video. I think it was a fun challenge to interpret. It was also nice to see through a "students" eye something that he was passionate about and why.
The purpose of the video was so demonstrate Diego's love of photography. He loves it and it was something that his padre(father) was also good at. Diego uses photography as a way to educate and express himself. Diego enjoys doing the same thing that his father does as well. Photography is a way for him to explore nature and the outdoors. I really enjoyed the video. Even though at times it was very difficult to understand you are able to see how passionate he is and how much he loves it.

ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the video was for Diego to show what is important to him in his life – to stay engaged and happy with worthwhile endeavors and to help others.
When Diego says “Me gusta la fotografia porque es bien padre,” perhaps he is saying that photographs educate and show him the outer and inner dimensions of the world – the way a parent would.
When he says “you can explore new things and frontiers through photography,” he means that taking and editing photos allows him to explore new ideas and express himself artistically.
I think the video is charming because it shows us an example of a wonderful young man with purpose and passion speaking in authentic Spanish.
It seems like the purpose of the vidoe is to share some things about himself -- what he likes to do with his time and what is important to him in his life. I think Me gusta
ReplyDeletela fotografía porque es bien padre" translaates to "i love taking photographs; it's so cool". He says that photography is a great way to express yourself artistically, especially when you edit and make your photos very unique and turn them into pieces of art. I think this kid does a great job in this video. He give 3 unique examples of who he is and what he values, such as helping the people he loves and his community.
The purpose of the video is to demonstrate the 3 most important things in Diego's life: photography, learning, and family - helping others.
ReplyDeleteHow can we say in English: "Me gusta la fotografía porque es bien padre". I think what we would say in English is that photography for him is a good mentor. We wouldn't say something specific like that, as in a phrase, but photography has taught him skills, not just in photography but with patience, and tenacity and details.
Why do you think he likes taking pictures? I think it allows him to see details in the world and is an artistic expression.
-What does he mean when he says that "you can explore new things and frontiers thru photography"? With photography you can take detailed images that we know to be one item but when up close can take on a whole new form.

El propósito del vídeo fue ayudarnos penser en español. El texto fue muy útil. Diego hablo muy rápido. Penso 'muy padre' significa fuerte o mayor. Discubri la frase fue una jerga mexicana. En ingles hablamos 'cool.' Pienso Diego gusta tomar fotográficas porque es muy creativo. La fotografía cambina arte y ciencia, siempre una aventura.
ReplyDeleteI had trouble adding accents. Chromebook didn't like ALT anything. My personal computer added some accents but not others. Apologies.
Diego loves photography because its cool. I had never heard someone use the slang,"padre" to express his interest in photography. He enjoys it because it lets express photography like an art.

"Me gusta la fotografia porque es bien padre" is like saying in English "I like photography because its cool." He likes taking pictures because he can capture the moment and he enjoys editing them afterwards. I think it was a great video for level 1 Spanish because we could really hear all the different words he was using.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of this video was to be introduced to Diego, a young adult who enjoys doing three main things in his spare time: photography, learning, and community service. Diego appears to enjoy taking pictures because it opens up a new world to him and provides a way for him to express himself. Diego really likes photography because "es bien padre" - the English-equivalent of "very cool". When he says that "you can explore new things and frontiers through photography", he means that one is able to see things through a lens that was not (or cannot) be seen by the naked eye. I thought that this video packed a lot of information and vocabulary into less than 3 minutes. I watched the clipped a handful of times in order to feel more comfortable listening to Diego's seemingly fast rate of speech to try and understand what he was saying without having to rely on Google Translate.

The purpose of this video is for Diego to show and explain his favorite past times. He really enjoys taking pictures, extending his learning/education, and helping others. In the video Diego says, "me gusta la fotografia porque es muy padre." I think that he means that he likes photography because he thinks it is very cool. I think that he says that photography can help him explore new things and frontiers because it allows him to see things from a new perspective and to have the opportunity to go to places he might not have had the chance to go. It creates a desire to explore the world and places different from his home. I think this video was great because he was able to get his point across and show his interests as well. It was also easy for me to follow and understand.

I think Diego is a nice young man. It is good to see a young person with a passion and a hobby.
I think the purpose of the video is to introduce us to young man and learn about him. He likes photography, creating new things (a candle from an organge) and helping others in his community.
ReplyDeleteI believe his expression about photography is like saying it is important to him...that he learns much from it.
Photography seems to be a way for him to be creative, express himself and view everyday things from different perspectives.It is an art form that lets him him explore and view things in different ways. His editing of images is part of this as well.
I really enjoyed the video.I love the opportunity to learn about young adults, see and here what things they are interested in and what is important to them. I think adults need to do more listening:)
The video is going very fast, it is hard for me to follow. It seems though that the purpose of the video is for Diego to explain his favorite activities, the first being photography. He can express himself through art. I think he says he likes to take pictures of the moon. He says education is very important to him. He asks if you know how to turn an orange into a candle. He says it's incredible learning science. His third and most important activity is to be happy and help others. He wants to enjoy life more. Something about when the sun rises. I guess the point of the video is to find out things he likes to do, that make him happy.
