English Language Challenges

Well, this is the last blog. There were some that I could not upload or had problems doing so, but I highly value this space of the subject. Anyway, hi everyone!

To begin with, my experience with the English subject at the university has had mixed opinions. The previous English ones I had to find with a teacher who, perhaps because of the online modality, did not give me any motivation when it came to participating in classes. This semester was different, because we had you as a teacher and that changed everything. Personally, it has given me the space to function in public, since I had developed anxiety problems due to the pandemic (I still have them, but I have been advancing step by step); you give us a comfortable space to participate, without pressure, and criticism is always said in a good way (not like my previous English teachers at this university XD).

I was lucky to have a good base of English at school, but over the years it’s lost if one does not practice it, and that’s what has happened to me. I feel that what I lost the most was speaking this language fluently (I never spoke it 100% fluently, but it was much better than now hahaha). So I think I need to improve on that. In addition, there are many words that I had forgotten their meaning and I think that I have also worsened in grammar. I don't really know how I'm going to improve those aspects, but I think I'll try to watch more videos in English, without putting the subtitles XD.

As for the blogs, I think it was a great space to practice the writing part, which is very important. The topics were always too entertaining to write enough about it.

About how much I use English nowadays, the truth is that a lot, but focused on games hahaha. There are many games that are in English, or perhaps they are translated into Spanish but lose their essence, so it is better to play them in English. It also helps me a lot when searching for scientific papers.

Finally, I want to thank you Miss for all the love you put into making this subject, bearing in mind that there were a few weeks where we had online classes, and we all know that this is not an optimal setting for dynamic and entertaining classes, but I still enjoyed them very much.

Greetings to all!
