My experience learning English at University

My experience learning English at the University is reduced to only two semesters, because fortunately, when I give the test that would tell us at what level we would stay, I was at level 3. I can say that my school gave me a very basic base but anyway I appreciate it, because I was not in complete blank.

The first half of this year I studied Pre-Intermediate English with a very nice teacher, who empathized with students and tried to make all the sessions enjoyable activities. As we are students, we are learning, and I appreciate the patience and willingness that she had to teach us.

I think that the practice speaking English improves our level and makes us aware of our shortcomings in terms of grammar, to put together a coherent sentence, and pronunciation. Yet these aspects are very difficult to me, what is more, I think is what I'm weaker, I think I've progressed. To improve I have thought about joining a group of people who agrees online to practice English (or other languages) in a bar or pub. I think it can be a fun and enriching experience at the same time.

On this semester, in which I am studying Intermediate English, I've had a great time in the energetic classes with the teacher and the activities proposed. We greatly appreciate that the teacher take into account our opinion when an activity is proposed. If we have another proposal, we can do it and  there will be no problem.

As for the blog, I can say that although sometimes it propose interesting topics to write about, the posts have always been a headache for me. I'm very slow because the ability to write properly, and does not seem that wrote Tarzan, is very difficult.

These days, the use of English is restricted to read scientific paper, but in very few subjects. In those moments I want the universal language was Spanish, haha.
