My experience about learning English
at university is not that much, I think because I’m English IV but in overall
it was nice, I thought it would be more “difficult”. Also, I learn some
specific terms that are used in American and British English, but it should be
more “fun “because at some point it gets repetitive and not interesting at all.
I liked the use of the blogs because is a different way to communicate with
others, besides talking. Also we could write about our opinion or what we like,
so it helps with our vocabulary. However, I still need to improve my English
because I tend to forget how to write or talk with proper grammar; I speak like
“internet” so it is not perfect at all. I suppose I have to learn and memorize
the proper grammar and practice it.
Outside English class I heard and
read English every day; I like reading in English because in my opinion books
change a lot when they are translated (this happen too with movies). A big
percent of my music is in English so I got used to heard English and understand
it quickly. Also, I really like watching YouTube; I only watch English speakers
“youtubers” and sometimes they speak pretty quick and it’s kind of difficult
understand (also some have accents) but after a while you get used to it. I
think all of it makes easier leaning English because you are doing something you
like and enjoy, is not like at school were sometimes English can be pretty
boring.
The translations sometimes change all the focus of one scene from a movie, or some quote doesn't sound that good translated.
ReplyDeleteIt's really annoying to watch movies or series in other language than the original one because the thing that they are saying has nothing to do with how they move their mouth.
ReplyDeleteI love music in English too, although sometimes I look for the lyrics of the songs because they sing very fast and I don’t know very well what they say
