Blog Session 11: English Language Challenges

Well, at first I was excited because since school I haven't been on any English class. I thought it would be very useful to practice my English, most of all my speaking. The classes were entertaining because it wasn't difficult, I understood everything we talked about. The first part of the lesson was sweet because I felt like when I was at school, exercising with the book and exchanging our results with our classmates. The second part was funny too because I have never written in a blog. It's a very interactive way to learn, you can read what your classmates are writing about the same topic and that's always interesting, mostly when you don't know them very well cause they are older or younger than you.

Nevertheless, I think this class must be more difficult, it's English 4! The last one! I haven't been pushed to improve significantly my English. Although I critique this item in every English class I've ever been, even in Institutes. English should be an important class like math, if you don't push the students to learn English correctly, they will never learn the language. We as students hide our mediocrity because we are afraid of failure, but no one is biologically disabled to learn different languages. For some people is easier than others, but this situation is the same in every subject! That's no excuse and as long as teachers don't push a little bit harder, this country will never improve the level of English.

Personally, I have to improve my speaking very very much. When I write I don't have the amount of trouble in my head like when I'm speaking. Maybe the reason is that I don't practice enough, or maybe is because speaking is an instant situation and when you write instead, you have more time to think the verb you want to use and how to conjugate it. 

I am very snob jajaja, I use many phrases and some jokes in English. Mostly because they were funny in a movie, in a series, in a video, etc. My friends have no difficult to understand this jokes so it's funny to everybody. Also, I very much like to sing the songs I listen, so when I don't understand something I search the lyrics on the internet. I am great at imitate British pronunciation so I always entertain myself doing that. I always inspire myself thinking in Mrs. McGonagall (from Harry Potter) having some tea.
