Blog 10: English Language Challenges

 

Hi everyone!!(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥

Well, this is the last blog! Tomorrow are the last tests and then we have a well-deserved vacation ᕙ(`▿')ᕗ today I will tell you a little bit about my experience learning English.

This is my first experience having English in the university since when I entered, in the diagnostic test I was in English IV, so I went ahead with the rest of the courses. At first, I was nervous about having English at the university I imagined difficult things, but in the end, it turned out not to be as I expected, the classes were fun and easy to understand so I really enjoyed this course.

My only problem with English is everything related to speaking it, I always forget how to pronounce some words and also where I get nervous about speaking (Maybe part of my nervousness about speaking has nothing to do with English, but something personal), I tend to forget words, but I think a lot of this would be solved by practicing more. Maybe I could make phone calls with my friends who know English and talk to them to practice.

Outside of class, I usually read manga or books in English, sometimes I write down the words I don't understand, I look up their meanings and how they are pronounced, I also watch videos in English with English subtitles because in some videos people speak so fast that I can't understand well, also when I feel more extreme I watch movies or videos without subtitles to see how much I understand them, when I realize that I'm understanding I feel very accomplished.
