Wow! My experience learning English at university has been very similar to my classes in the school if we talk about chairs, but the big difference is the “blogs”. I never imagined that one day I must write every week different topics about my life (since experiences at the university to my holidays) and the worst part is when my partners read my words and comment :( (I’m very shameful).
Like I said, my grammatic is not perfect and that is because I’m still learning and apart of write, read books, magazines (between others) in English can help me to get better. Also, I consider that see different Tv series in English show me pronunciation and how I can express my words.
In my job is very important talk a little of English because some people (visitors) don’t talk Spanish and I can give them the indications in their language.
Anyway know other languages is very important for one if you travel and most important for the culture.
