English Language Challenges

Hi humans, in this last blog session of the semester (and I hope forever!!) I’m going to write about my experience learning English this time at university.

At first it was kind of weird, because I haven’t been on a English class for a long time, so speak and write again was quite difficult at the begining, but luckily my memory wasn’t so bad, so I could remember some things I’ve learned in High School. Now talking about the class it was really cool, although it was late (when everybody were in their home), it was funny because it wasn’t a normal class were you could fell asleep, sometimes I were dying inside but for my class before English.

I think writing in the blogs were sometimes a little boring, but it was necessary to improve our writing skills, our vocabulary, and on the other hand to practise grammar.

I think that one of the aspects I need to improve is the speaking part, It’s really hard for me to speak in public (it was pretty cool just had five classmates), and for this I’m planning to watch more movies without subtitles and try to understand the most part of the movie, also I need to get back to listen music in English, before university I only listened this type of music, and that helped me a lot in High School.

Outside the English class, I’ve been using English for read some books about photography and astronomy (it’s quite difficult, but we can!) and that’s it.

Have I had a good semester?

Hello humans,

In this occasion I will tell you about my first semester (before we were on a strike).

This first part of the year was interesting, I had a new workshop and there I was learning about textile, more specifically about tapestry and I just love it! I learned to knit in a little loom and now I can teach to my mom who also loves all about knitting.

In my workshop (photography) we were doing three different projects, the first is about computing and electrical conections (we had to programme in the computer) The second one is about a personal project for the year (as a thesis, maybe) there I’m doing photos with a dark camera, all the process was really exhausting because I had to design my own camera, I designed four, so I had to cut a looooot of carton. And the last one is a seminary where the teachers gave us a concept and we worked about it.

Another good thing that happened this semester was to had an English class after four years without one. (I’m not trying to be “patera” jajaja), but when I was in high school I really enjoyed my English class (Miss McNaughton <3 ) and I remember it was funny to participate in the Spelling Bee.

Anyway this is not la vie en rose and it was quite difficult too (now is getting much difficult) with all the work and no time to do it! But all can be done with a little patience, I think.
