Post 6: English Language Challenges

Hi!! The course seemed good to me, it has helped me a lot to practice English, especially the spoken part, and it is so necessary in the professional life, that I am glad that this is a course at the university. The idea of using blogs for weekly homework (not all weeks, but most of them) is useful for practice the written language, and the comments force you to read the posts of others members of the course, in my opinion that is nice. The subjects of the posts also are interesting, not the coolest ones, but they are enough.

My weakest side in the English language is the spoken part, my fluency in sentences is bad, and the pronunciation of the words is weak. I think the written part also needs some improvement, like in the use of more vocabulary, the expression of ideas, and even the order of some sentences. My plan in the future for solvent these issues, is to try chatting by voice in the videogames I play very often with people who speak English (most of them do in online games). Also using normal chat is a good idea to improve the written part.

Outside the English class I use very little the English to communicate, I have an aunt living in the United States, and she have two daughters older than me, with whom I sometimes converse in English, although more in Spanish. The rest of time I interact with English by watching content in English on the Internet.
