English Language Challenges


 Hello everyone!

Today, I’ll write the final post of the course. As I remember I said, this blog was to write about different topics, and try to increase my level of English. I think by using blogs, was a very interesting way to practice. I have never tough of using a blog to practice my English, or any other language. I guess I’ll continue using it to write not only in English, but also in German or even Spanish, why not? The themes that we write about were great, because we had the opportunity to get to know us better, for examples, the sports we like, the places we want to go, how green are we, our best holidays… and also, those themes were an space for me, to sit me down, relax and just loose myself writing. I also liked the themes because they were about things of our normal life; we didn’t have to blow our minds by thinking what to write, it was a good space to be ourselves.

But, like anything is perfect, I have to continue working on my English. I think I have a lot to do, starting by study a bit more grammar; that’s my biggest problem. I can understand a lot, and read and all that stuff; but when I have to talk or write, it converts in a little challenge that I want to exceed. And it’s because of that that I’m thinking on take some classes next year, apart the university, to improve my level of English a bit more.

And outside the English class here at university, I’m also trying to use more English. For example, when I’m watching a move or serials, I try not to see it with subtitles (thing that I already did before), and I also try to read more in English, like the online newspaper. But it’s difficult to combine it whit the studies, because it takes a lot of time, and we even don’t have time to watch the news!

So, wishing I have time to write some other day, I say goodbye to you, and I hope we read us again J

  1. Wow you totally read my mind. I also think blogging is a very special experience, because on one hand you are writing for other people, who maybe don't know you and on the other, you lose yourself into it and really write whatever it is you think. I kind of like that combination. It's perfect for how the world works in these days :P

  4. We particularly loved writing...and blowing our minds sitting here.
    Grammar´s problems...I think you have them because you speak three languages at the same time! So, it doesn't matter xD.
    Finally, we have a lot of days to improve our English, don´t you think? During trips and when you work at an International Company in Human Rights.

  6. Camila, i agree with you: practicing our english through blogging was a very nice experience for all of us.

    If you're interested on improving your grammar maybe in the summer you can suscribe to class, but a great choice it is going to the Providencia's "cafe literarios" and participate with natives in round conversations or hang out with the exchange students in the faculty.
