I think
that learning English at university are not too much different of the school,
we apply this language talking between us, reading text and write them, but the
use of blogs is new to me, explain the things with my point of view, is
interesting this new way to learn / practice English and watch how my
classmates explain of them point of view.
A thing
that I need to be improved Is how I can talk in English with more fluency,
understanding all of the words that I going to use, and in the same time learn
to hear the thing that the people says. I can improve this watching series or
movies in English, but with subtitles in English (to know how the words are
written) as little help to me to understand words than I don’t knew. And with
words than are strange to me, only search in internet what is and how can I use
that, I think that is all with that.
In these days, I’m not using the English regularly
but every day I try to read posts or texts in English, because if I don’t do
that I’m going to lose the habit, so I think that is good idea follow with
something related with the things than we do (the blogs).
And learn
English in a Non-English speaking country I think than is not totally good,
because the people than learn English, they are not thinking the things in English,
they are thinking the words or the meaning of the things in Spanish and that is
a very big problem, because if you think that the people than speak in English (a
good English) they think in English, because is the best way to relate the
thoughts with what you want to say, so changing that i think than the English will be more understandable.
what kind of post or test have you read in english?
ResponderBorrarThe blogs are something new to me too, and I like it, but sometimes I would like to write about something more interesting or something different to the text that I used to write in the school, like jobs or where I would like to travel, etc
ResponderBorrarMartin you're right in saying that people think in spanish before they say or write something in English. it happens becuase it's inevitable to try to give structure to a new language from a language that you already know.
ResponderBorrarIt's easier for children under 5 to learn multiple languages because they just acquire them without having an understanding of tenses or grammar rules; their brains just directly use the new language information without contrasting or processing it through another language structure.
I have the same problem that you. It is hard to think what you are going to answer, and try to understand what the other persons is saying at the same time.
