Learning English at the University

Hi! This is the last blog of this semester and I have to talk about my experience learning english at the UCH English program.

Starting for the using of the blogs I think is an original and useful method to practice writing. Personally I can say that I leave high school with a kind of "level" in English. But, when I enter to the University I have to confront a new world of new methods and evaluations including this blogging thing. For me, blogging is a great space to learn to express yourself by your own way because we write from our own experiences, tastes, wishes for the future, etc. Is different than learnt writing following a defined structure as the works I have to do for my other classes, where we learnt and have to use a determinate type of writing, the academical.

About the classes, in the beginning, on my first English class I felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that in the classes we were less students than I was accustomed. But it quickly transformed in a positive trait because the classes were more personalized and I get more confidence to talk in English with my partners. Despite this I would like more vocabulary content, sometimes a refreshing of the grammar and feedback of our mistakes.

I think I have something to improve in the four skills (listening, writing, reading and talking) because my English is far to be perfect, but the practice makes the master haha. For this I used to hear my series in English, sometimes without subtitles, and also hear English songs reading the lyrics.

Outside the classes I don’t use much English apart of the activities I mentioned before. Sometimes to communicate with foreign people, but that is one in a million occasion hahah. I wish I can do it more.

Finally about this online English semester I have to say that I really enjoyed it and I would like my others will be like this, with more politic topics because it was very interesting learning English by this side. I hope all of you finish well the rest of your courses, bye!
