ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

About learning English at university I think that is really useful, because we don’t have a lot of time (or any) to practice and improve our English, and I can say that in name of all my classmates. 

About the use of blogs, I don’t really know what I feel about it actually. Because there are topics that I know exactly what to say, and I can write a lot about it, but there are topics that I don’t even know how to develop a sentence. And also it takes me a lot to write a post, because I don’t want to make a mistake. But I think is good to improve our writing though.

I have always enjoyed to learn this language, even when I was in kindergarten was my favourite class and moment of the day, so I can say that it’s easy for me to learn it, because I enjoyed it. I wish I could speak it better though, because I think that my pronunciation is the worst (also my boyfriend is always laughing at me, because of that –he is really good at it-), but also I like to think that at the end of the day the important thing is communicate yourself. Or, have you ever seen a “gringo” with a perfect Spanish? Nah nah.

Before I start my life in the Fau, when I had free and enough time to have a life. I was always improving my English, I was always practicing, watching movies, videos on youtube, talking with friends on skype (English speakers) and also reading a lot, I have books in English that I always enjoyed to read. But now I can’t do it anymore, because I don’t have time and I feel that my level in this two years that I have been in the Fau is in decrease, and it makes me really sad. Also I was starting to learn French and I already forgot all that I learnt. 

What I use now to improve is watch movies and listen music, also I read random stuff sometimes in English to still practicing and I write sometimes to my friends via text messages, so I can have conversations were I have to remember things. Also my father is trying to learn it, so I have fun with him and my brother sometimes speaking. I would like to practice with my boyfriend but he’s too bully with me about it, and I’m a little bit shy.
