A difficult relation: The English and Me. =(


My history with the English begins when I was ten years old, and I was in the school in fifth grade. This year, I remember, that the teacher made that we to sing a song of alphabet, other song of elephant to learn the number and a song of the colors. In the next years, sadly, my education in English wasn’t good, the teachers teached us the verb “to be” by the next seven years, and now I can say, I never learned nothing. For this bad experience, I thought that the English and Me weren’t friends, I thought that never would can learn the language and I until leaved of listen music and of sing in English because I learned the I don’t know that I say. When I thought that my relation with the English had finished because I began to study psychology, but I had a surprise, when I know in psychology I would have class of English. The thrust is that I didn’t want nothing with the English, but it was… the university. I began my subject of English in the second year of my carrier and it was different experience.

Today, I am in my last course of English and the experience wasn’t so terrible as I thought. The courses weren’t so difficult, the teachers are persons very nice and very worried by the pupils, they love the English language. As well I knew pretty companions, I knew Jimena, a friend who did that my courses were more entertaining, she didn’t know anything of English either, because of it we were laughing together when we did not understand anything. I believe that the first subject was the most entertaining, and the second and third part they were the most difficult subjects because the teacher was little irritable, and the quarter, it is the best subject because it is the last one of my weekly relation with English language.

In the evaluations, I was suffering very much. My experience with the blog was very good, I think that I learned to express, with the listening I discovered that I have problems of ear, and the tests it was giving myself nerves, but equally I have good marks, because I believe that now already I have more vocabulary, and in the oral tests, I was very afraid but with the Maite we converse in our own language.

In the different courses also we saw different contents, from the countries, the means of transport, the personal information, the truth is that we did a tour for different thematic in English, for this we work with a book of support, with listening and with conversations in pairs.

The truth is that I know that after all this way; I did not end up by dominating completely the language, but I believe that I have had important advances that they allow me to say that my relation with the language today is much better. In addition I know that the English is a necessary language to survive in an included world, where the communications, the economy and for especially the advance in investigations like that they need it, in addition my I would like to be able to travel to countries where the English is his native language, for this it turns out to me more important to learn. I believe that my history with the English will continue, because now I am thinking of realizing seriously an attached course to turn into a bilingual expert.
