English language challenges

Hi everyone, today's blog is about my experience doing blogs for this subject, English. It's kind of funny because I did this blog on level 3, it was exactly the same topic. At that point I wasn't very happy with the teacher, I just wanted to finish the course and not see him anymore, that's why I thought that blogging was a terrible idea, and I didn't learned too much because we weren't able to use any translate tool.
Today is different, I think that is always useful to write blogs, or anything, this way you can learn new words and develop reading comprehension skills due to the fact that we have to comment on 3 classmates blogs. Other thing that I think that was useful was when we watched movies, interviews and flama videos, on one hand was funny and on the other hand was a great idea to develop our speaking skills. I know that sometimes not all of us talked during classes, but I believe that was because of the fear of not have a good pronunciation. There is only one thing that I didn't liked and is related to the movies, for me at least, was very difficult to understand what the actors were saying because or their pronunciation. Maybe If we have watched a movie with English actors it would be so much easier to understand.

When it comes to my knowledge on this subject, I think that is regular, not good and not bad, I can talk about easy things, like hobbies, movies, books, etc. I believe that my pronunciation is OK, is not perfect, but is not terrible neither. I know that my biggest concern is grammar, I'm so bad at this area, really really bad, so bad that I have to look examples of the different types of tenses, I only know perfect simple, continuous, and past simple and continuous hahaha. As you may noticed on my previous blogs, I want to do a lot of post graduate courses, because I like to be constantly learning new things, and one of the courses that I like to do is an intensive course of English language, with intensive I mean that I would like to be in a advanced level of English, because it opens a lot of opportunities to work on different projects.


I try to "use" English a lot. Practically I don't speak English with other people because I don't have any friend or anyone that knows how to talk English, but I always watch YouTube videos on English (without subtitles), these videos are tutorials, reviews, or videos about traveling around the world. Another important thing that I've been doing lately is to watch movies in English, with English subtitles, this way I can improve my pronunciation and listening. One day, if I have good luck finding a good job with a good salary, I would like to travel to EEUU or England in a English program, this kind of programs include English classes like all classes hahaha with a teacher and classmates, just like this one, but with the huge difference that this one is made in a country with native English speakers, so everything around involves to talk English.
