English Language Challenges

Well, English at the university has been very important. There are many problems with my level of knowledge. Sometimes I think of the difference with my classmates: fluent language, easy ideas to connect and even, few nerves to talk about. Every day I remember the bad English I had in my elementary school. Then, it was not better.

So, in this scenario, sometimes I feel bad. Not for the conditions in the U, because they really are better. I feel bad because my level is precarious and I try so hard to learn. Maybe, the teacher notices this, but I try to improve every minute.

Without a doubt, I have learned a lot. Blogs help me write, practice, think and create. They are very important to apply the skills and knowledge learned. I liked the dynamics of this semester, I think the teacher had a good way to explain and an enviable patience. The method to press for us to speak in English is not annoying or invasive. I really liked the weather.

Finally, public policies in Chile are a disaster. I think the focus is on private schools. Maybe it sounds like an excuse, but the level of English is bad because it is not a priority for the government. Except when he want to get representatives for some tournaments abroad. In any case, learning depends on each one.

Sometimes I would like to talk more fluide. In this case, I could talk everywhere, and would have the opportunity to travel the world more easily.

Improving the learning experience

My experience in English has been enriching. For many things, first, I have learned to write better, my ear has deepened for the "listenings" and I know many more words. I have had three professors at the university and each one helped me to improve.

I remember when I was in the first year and I took the exam to know what would be the level of English for me. I did not to respond nothing because my memory failed me. Then, the system sent me to the first level. Since then, my English has improved, I think.

Undoubtedly, new technologies have changed the conditions of study. Now, everything is on the internet. Activities to listen to, write assignments, however, I believe that this should be used only to complement, not to learn. We know that the evolution give will us many new tools.

Now, I am obliged to know and speak English because my future profession requires that I speak this language. If I want to travel the world doing journalism, I should know a minimum of English. The ability to start a conversation and understand.

I like that some teachers ask you to speak in English. In addition, they speak everything in this language. This is the best method for me. There are many pressures, but bring the best of you, your true knowledge. Although nerves eat you inside.

Finally, I like the dynamics. Conversation, opinions, impressions, debates, anything contributes to learning.
