English Language Challenges

Learning English in university has been a challenge, although I have always had an ease with languages, learning to use English in an academic point of view it’s not easy at all, mostly because all the time I have contact with English is for banal things like watching a movie or listening to music. In that line, the teaching method of writing blogs periodically has helped me to improve because it´s like talking about something increasing the difficulty of the themes that we have to write about, and without noticing it, you improve a lot.  

Nowadays, where the technologies have improved impressively and the information flow has increased exponentially, our generation, that are regulars of the social networks, there are a lot of English content flying through the cloud, I would say that the majority of internet content is in English, that’s why I think that, outside the English class, we are surrounded of many information in English, from the commercials from foreign brands to all the movies and series we see in cinemas or in the computer. Nevertheless, it’s not the same being surrounded with English content than talking, listening, reading and writing all type of things in English, there is the difficulty and that’s why it’s necessary to study and learn English.

I think my abilities to talk, read and listen in English have been improved quite a lot, although, I think I still have a lot to work on, and I am convinced that if I start reading more in English, I am going to improve much more, and that is one of my tasks for 2019!
