BLOG 6: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

 

In this blog I will talk about what it has been like to learn English in the university. One of the comments I can make about the experience of learning English at the university, is I have always felt intimidated by English because I was embarrassed when I had to expose or speak in English in front of my classmates, because I know that my pronunciation in English is not very good, so my experience at the beginning was negative in a way and the truth was expecting something very difficult like doing papers or presentations frequently. But on the other hand, I have had the opportunity to speak a couple of times and remove my embarrassment, although I don't have the courage to do it by my own decision.

 With respect to the use of the blogs, I think it has been useful to practice writing in English every week and also to get to know our classmates, because in we write something personal in the blogs. One aspect that I would like to improve and I know that I need to improve is pronouncing English, because it is very difficult for me and I know that the words I say are not understood very well. The ways I have thought of to improve it are to take a course on the internet or with a private teacher, since I wouldn't have the pressure of being in a room with more people and feel embarrassed to make a mistake.

 Outside of English class, you could say that I use English in blogs, I also try to read some things on my cell phone like memes or things on social networks and also in series or movies, because I watch them with the original voice, all this in purpose to learn some words and be able to communicate, although I don't know if I will need it in the future.
