English Language Challenges

So for me English is a very important tool that you can need in whatever aspect of your life, so it's very important for me to improve every day, learning new words, trying to read and listen as much as I can in this language. But I have to say that it wasn't that easy for me, because around 3-4 years ago I could not manage this language as I do now, but that change when I became an exchange student and I went to Canada for 9 months. 

So in the beginning it wasn't easy, a lot of new words every day, slangs, and the different pronunciations were a real challenge, but the necessity of communication with other people, made me improve very fast, you can't imagine the difference between one month to the next one, so I'm so happy and grateful for that experience. But I consider that I'm not a bilingual person yet, because although I had improve a lot in the last years, I still thinking that I have a lack of vocabulary and some problems with the sentence composition, that I think only the practice can give you. For that reason I'm glad to have English at the university, because it's a time where I change my switch and I start to think in English, also conscious as never before of my learning, I think because at school I didn't learn much because I didn’t understand either, so now this is great for my development.

To finish I think that practice is the most important thing and depends on you to keep doing it, even if you don’t have an English class anymore. Also I think that blogs are a very useful tool to learn this language, specially grammar and vocabulary as I’m not used to do it.
