To do in MundoHispano

  1. To request a character, send an e-mail to this address:
    mundo@admiral.umsl.edu Include two names, either of which you would be happy to use.
  2. Open a telnet window to MundoHispano: admiral.umsl.edu port 8888
  3. Log on by typing: connect guest
  4. Be sure to describe yourself! Type: @describe me as… (just fill in your description, in Spanish, right after the word "as" and hit "enter" once you’re done.)
  5. Look at the MOO commands page on the MundoHispano website:

    6. http://www.umsl.edu/~moosproj/spcomand.html

  6. Learn how to emote, and practice it with others. This means you are showing actions to others in the same room you’re in. To do so, type a colon followed by a phrase that’s missing its subject. Example… :rie. The MOO will show it, when Colega writes it, like this: Colega rie. (Colega laughs.) Try typing this: :sonrie. It will show you smiling.
  7. Try to find the Barra de Chocolate in the Plaza Mayor. Pick it up. (coge barra) Look at it (mira barra) and follow the instructions. You may need to refer to the commands page (#4 above).
  8. Find one other person in the MOO @quien and get them to join you in a room. Best to go to a room where other people are not already chatting.
  9. Try out any of the following questions on the person you’re with, in order to practice for oral interviews:

    10. Cuéntame que haces cuando vas de compras.

    ¿Cuáles son tus almacenes favoritos? ¿Por qué?

    Cuando vas de compras, ¿cómo pagas? ¿Por qué?

    Describe la ropa que te gusta comprar.

    Cuando vas al supermercado para comprar comida, ¿qué compras?

    ¿Cómo sueles pagar? ¿Con tarjeta de crédito? ¿o pagas en efectivo?

    Cuando eras joven, ¿ibas al supermercado con tu mamá o tu papá? ¿Te gustaba o no? ¿Por qué? ¿Dónde te gustaba ir de compras cuando eras joven?

  10. Once you’ve practiced chatting about shopping, ask similar questions in the present and the past about the favorite foods or foods typically prepared in your partner’s house. Ask about cooking methods, meal times, foods your partner doesn’t like to eat, etc. Also, ask about foods he/she did or didn’t like to eat when he/she was young.
  11. Once you’ve talked about food, page Colega enviar Colega [message] and ask for the next topic you’re to discuss. She may ask you to join her @juntarse con colega
