Open English?

I admit that it has been hard for me learning English. First of all, at secondary school the English teacher didn't care so much that his students learn it well. He just talked the entire class even if nobody paid attention him. I was one of few people who paid attention him but after all, I didn't learn so much, I mean, only to write in English, because the education’s quality here in Chile is far from excellent, so to speak.

But every changed at college. Here I'm forced to learn English especially for academic works, I mean, I have to be able to read text and books in English, and also for professional work area, to talk with people from other countries, or to read manuals, etc. But my experience of learning English here has been completely different than school, so I'm glad for that. I know that I have so much to learn yet but, at least, I had advanced in speak and pronunciation. I liked so much to have this subject now in the university.

Using blogs I have learned to think and write better, and I think it is a good tool for learning any language that you want. The good thing about blogs is that you can share your opinions and having a conversation or discuss -always in good terms- with other people, and that feedback makes you improve.

Well, as I said before, I need to improve my speaking and pronunciation, and I want to do it talking in English with my friends, seeing more movies and listening a lot of songs. I have discovered that need of mine in the class, when I want to say something but I didn't know how to say it, or pronounce it, or whatever. I'm get a little nervous because of that, but I know that if I practice, I can improve, so I should do it outside the class too… Finally, I think the most important for learn any foreign language is the motivation and hard work, because as says the proverb “practice makes perfect”.
