Senior Capstone, TTU, Spring 2015: Desaparición y asimilación; Preservación y perpetuación (Presentation Slideshow)

Senior Capstone, TTU, Spring 2015: Desaparición y asimilación; Preservación y perpetuación

The most challenging part of this project? Knowing that as of yet, I cannot think in Spanish at as advanced of a level as this project really called for. Spanish sources, Spanish notes, Spanish everything. I never allowed myself to even brainstorm in English and although it was a wonderful exercise, it was frustrating.

It leaves me with a desire, however, to pursue this research and to continue improving my Spanish so as to continue this research in Spanish.

"Desaparición y asimilación; Preservación y perpetuaciónLos factores sociales y lingüísticos que determinaron la vida, la muerte y casi pérdida de las lenguas de los inmigrantes judíos a Argentina después del año 1889" is just the beginning for me. 

(Translation: "Disappearance and Assimilation; Preservation and Perpetuation: The Linguistic and Social Factors that Determined the Life, Death, and Near Loss of the Languages of the Argentine Jewish Immigrants after 1889.")
