Post 8: English Language Challenges

 Hi everyone!! I would like to share with you a bit of my experience learning English at university. But, first I want to mention that all muy life I have had a love/hate relationship with English, since when I was little I never had a good education with the language so when I got to secondary education I experienced many moments of frustration.

All of the above said, my english learning experience at university has been "neutral" with positives and negatives. Regarding the positive aspects, there is this new online format that allows me not to be so afraid or ashamed of being in the classes, especially if I make a mistake, but also the modifications that have been made in certain evaluations such as the recording of presentations, where is the ease of being able to practice a lot until you feel safe. As for the negative aspects, there is no room to improve and correct the bad, which is a bit demotivating, especially for people like me who do not handle english very well, it is even more frustrating not knowing how to improve.

Personally, I like the dynamics of blogging, it helps to know new words and creates the need to consult them in digital dictionaries. I also like the idea of reading other classmates' stories (some very funny)

Currently I need to improve my pronunciation and be able to have a fluent conversation with others. I have talked about this with friends who are good whit the language and they have told me that listening to music and watching movies in english helps a lot, so I think I will listen to them. To be honest, I don't use english much outside of class? I think that's one of the big problems.
