Post 6 : English Language Challenges

 

I want to be completely honest, it wasn´t what I expected, I thought this course would connect the language with the career, I wanted to learn vocabulary that´d help me with my courses, for example; in our first semester of class we had a botany course, and I studied from English websites and books, seeing that I found more texts in this language than Spanish, but there was a lot of words I didn’t know, even in Spanish. So I needed to improve my vocabulary, not knowing this words frustrated me a little bit

The hardest part for me in this subject, and languag
e, its talk, I feel unable to speak in front of others, except of native speakers or when I’m alone. I have to work in my social skills because I’m very shy, it makes me feel uncomfortable when I speak in front of a screen or a class. I use it every day, I speak and text in English with my best friend.

Something that I really liked about this class is the blogs, mostly the part of write and receive nice comments from my classmates. We don’t know each other but I think it’s very cute this thing of comment (very gently) someone’s point of view.
