English Language Challenges (Post 8)

Hi!

English seems to me a good subject, although I didn’t attend the synchronous classes (because I made a mistake in choosing a timetable) I watched the recorded classes and I understand its importance. In the same way, I think it’s important in the university because of the English texts that we have to read. Also, writing blogs help in fact, to have a better writing and understanding of what you read.

About my English, I think I need to improve my pronunciation, it’s easy for me to read and understand it, but to formulate the sentences in my head and then say it, it’s very difficult. To improve this aspect, I should listen more to the correct pronunciation of people who have English as their main language.

As I said before, I use English when the university texts aren’t in Spanish obviously, but I also use it a lot outside that context. For example, I like to watch movies in English and not dubbed, sometimes I lose focus and start doing other things, but I still listen to the movie in English to understand what is going on.

Another example where I use English, are the tiktok videos. I usually see it in English, not in Spanish, so in order to understand them, I clearly need to know English. Finally, most of the time I use English to understand songs, I have to look up the lyrics because I don't understand easily just by listening.
