My experience learning English


Usually, English is used as the universal language, when you go to another country and you don’t speak the tongue, is very common to try to communicate in English or even when there are foreigners in your country and they ask you how to arrive to some place, they do it in this idiom. Also, when you’re searching for a job, sometimes is a requirement to know how to speak it. Personally, learning this language is very important for my daily life and for my future, so speaking English spontaneously is a goal that I want to meet, and I plan to reach it practicing more than before and watching more series or movies in English.


Comparing the teaching between High School and University, this first one was always focus in grammar, reading and writing, instead now, I have to practice the pronunciation of words, speak with my classmates, listen some histories and then answer the activities (although sometimes I have to guess what the person is saying, because of the accent, and is very funny because no one understood and we have to repeat it again). About the blogs, I think is a good method, because it helps to express in a better way what you want to say, you can increase your vocabulary and you get used to write and making more familiar this idiom. So, I see the difference, now is more intense, I have to put this language in practice in all senses, two times a week, or even when I’m in my house, because I have to record videos of myself speaking English. I feel I’m satisfied of what I’ve learned along this year.

When I’m not at my English class, and I'm at my house, I watch videos on Youtube of people speaking English and most of the time I understand more than a half of what the person is saying (when I achieve it, I feel proud of myself haha). Also, I listen to music in my way to home or University or wherever, and it’s one of my favorite activities, because I learn the lyrics and then I can sing it and improve my pronunciation. I’m a little bit afraid of when this course finish because I think I won’t put this idiom in practice as I’m doing now, and as I said at the beginning, my personal challenge is to speak it as well as I can.

I saw Harry Styles!

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to write this blog today because I’m going to talk about when my favourite artist, Harry Styles, came to Chile. He’s a singer of 24 years old, I listen to his music since 2012, when he was on a group called “One Direction”. I’m a fan of them but now they’re separate, so they have begun to write their own music as soloists. I usually listen to all of members, but I think the most I like is Harry's music. He published his Tour dates and Chile was on the list! (25 th July, 2018). I had never go to my favourite artists concerts because I don’t have how to pay a ticket, and this time wasn’t an exception… wasn’t it? Well, I went to the Hotel where he was accommodating, with all the faith that he came out to meet his fans, but he didn’t. The next day (day of the show) I was so sad, I opened the app Facebook to read a group of fans of Harry in Chile and they said there was more tickets on sale. I thought “OMG, I will meet him!” and I began to calculate how...

How did i end up here

When I was a child, I used to play with my brother about being teachers, I thought that was my future and I projected working in a classroom. Meanwhile I was growing up, I found what I really like: science. I realize that I don’t know how to explain things, so pedagogy didn’t was my option. In my last year at school I didn’t know what I wanted to study, so I begin to investigate on Internet about careers with biology and chemistry. In general, I searched about careers in the health area. There were a lot of options, like nursing, medicine, but I wasn’t sure about what I wanted for the rest of my life, so I made the PSU test and I decided to have a gap year to think and develop myself in another areas. There’s where I found “Chemistry and Pharmacy” . Now I’m on my first year in this career, and it has the subjects I like. Until now, I think that is difficult, because I don’t know how to organize my time like when I was in school, but every day I make a big effort to get ahead. I hop...

Cartoons and TV series

Image
Hi, this time I’m going to talk about something I miss to do so much: watching cartoons and TV series. One of my favorites TV series is “Malcolm in the middle”, I think you recognize it. I like it because I feel identified with the relation between brothers and although years pass, I always have a lot of fun. I’m sad because this year I haven’t had much time to dedicate myself to enjoy them, I have to study a lot and when I have time, I spend it going out with my friends or just sleeping. Sometimes, when I stay with my family, we use to watch movies or series at night. We watch many kinds of categories, from romantic till adventures ones.   At this moment, I consider I’m an occasional watcher.   When I was a child, on weekends or when I arrived to my house after school, I used to watch “SpongeBob”, “Dexter’s Laboratory”, “Powerpuff girls” or “Hannah Montana”. The importance they have is that they’re part of my childhood and are part of my growth. I remember I liked them ...
