Basic problems

I think one of the most recurrent problems when you study English at University is the time. You count with a lot of subjects and academic obligations, so you can hardly ever practice. In my pass through this Institute, I had to learn of many teachers, because I did the test wrong, without knowing much of what is was. So… I stay in the second course (there is four of them). I passed for three or four teachers with very different methodology each one. Only one of them forced us to speak in English in classes, cause he come from U.K. and he thought one of the better ways to learn was to talk. I miss him.

Anyway… in general, the courses that imparts the University are not very completes, but this is not a problem of the teachers. It is very basic, fresh, in the fourth grade, which is where I am now; I can notice that I can learn something. Especially vocabulary, one of my biggest weaknesses.

By my own, I think I practice, at least, day by day. I like very much the series and the music in English. I repeat the dialogues, and the letters, so the vocabulary is staying recorded in my mind. It is very effective if you really want to learn.

At this moment I am very nervous for the final test, because I feel that I’m not really prepared. So, I try to practice every day when I get to my home. In fact, I downloaded an app called “Duolingo”. That is an easy way to practice any language, even English, of course. This app measures your level of knowing, so fits your needs. I think if I continue practicing, I will not give so much shame! hahah
