Post 8: English Language Challenges

I enjoyed learning English at university, especially when I compared my experience at school. I felt that at school I learnt very simple things, today I still think so when compared to what I have learnt at university. I think that maybe the English they taught at my school was very basic because my school was not one of the best. During my career, I have only had two english courses, so this course was the first time I actually experienced the use of blogs as a type of homework. In the previous course the homework was just presentations and conversations between classmates (I think this was also due to the fact that there was no pandemic yet).

I quite liked the dynamics of the blogs, although sometimes it was difficult to comply with the requirement to make comments to classmates because I used to do my homework inmediately and I did not chance to my classmates to do their homeworks, so I couldn't make comments and had to wait all day for them to finish their homework. I also enjoyed the blogs because they helped me to get to know my classmates a little better, where I realised that we often shared the same tastes and thoughts, I would like to see them at the FAU one day.

I should probably improve my pronunciation, as when I read an listen to english I can understand it perfectly, but every time I try to speak in english I feel embarrased and this feel affects to my pronunciation. I'm trying to practice more with friends to improve that pronunciation problem, so we started to try to speak english three times a week for at least an hour, also because we have the ambition to move to Canada or New Zealand one day.
