Post 10: English Challenges

I can´t believe that I finally finish the English programme in the university, how time flies!
About what was for me this subject, I think that the obligation of the university about coming to learn English is very boring and a mere formality. Really, because it’s an obligation it’s boring... but I have to say that anyway I have entertained with the exercises, the teacher and my classmates. I would like to express my gratitude to the teacher, because she always have so much energy and a good disposition for teach us. Also she always shows very compressive with the student movement and his strikes, at difference from others teachers in English.
I believe that doing blogs is some of the best exercises to learn English… but in my opinion it would be more pedagogical to be talking in English a lot all the time. When someone learns specific things you tend to forgive it very soon… it’s in the constant practice when you really learn. That’s because I really believe that going to a country where the English is the principal language, is the best way to learn English. I hear about many people that learn in this way, even when they not know anything about the language.
I have to improve my pronunciation and learn more words and some things of the grammar or syntax. I hope to go someday to an English-speaking country and then learn this language to the level of speaking without problems. Anyway, if I can’t do it by now, I could listen to English-speaking TV series or read this language in papers or something.
In these days I practically don’t use English to speak. I just use it to sing or understand the songs of bands that are wrote in English, but, for example, I never met some foreigner to speak with him or her. But sometimes, I like to speak in English with my little sister (she is 13 years old), for make some jokes that our mom can’t understand, for sing our favorite songs, and sometimes we read the news and the spoilers of the series that we follow, like The walking dead, or the Game of Thrones.

    I agree with you that the best way to learn English is to travel to any English-speaking country , you learn very quickly that ... it would be ideal that the university will give us a similar experience, but I doubt it : /

  3. I agree with you, I think that the obligation character of the English class can be a reason for the student to think that the English class is boring. It's important to consider this for the teach desing.
