Post 6 - English Language Challenges
Hello everyone!
I think learning English has become more complex over time. I remember that I started learning English in elementary school in fourth grade, which means that, counting this year, I will have studied English for 9 years, and yet I feel like I don't handle it very well. This makes me think that maybe the way English is taught is a bit wrong.
I have the feeling that most of us who know a little bit of the language do so because we learned it through series, music, movies, etc.
Anyway, there is a noticeable difference between the English taught at school and the English taught at university, I feel that I have learned much more now than in previous years.
Personally, I like the use of blogs because it allows us to venture more into the language, it pushes us to occupy it despite having only one class per week, basically it allows us an instance to learn by ourselves.
I like English, but I feel that I have to improve my writing and speaking, in reading I could say that I manage well. Although I think English is taught in a very formal way, so sometimes I can't understand memes that are written in that language :(.
I think my way to improve my English will continue to be watching movies or series with Spanish subtitles, or listening to music and seeing the lyrics translated (or trying to translate them myself). These activities I believe will help me improve my English, and they are also the activities I do outside of class.
Thanks for reading, best regards!
