About my experience learning English

I think that learning English here in the University has been a great experience; it has made me practice it, improve it and learn new vocabulary. So I totally recommend it. But a few years back (when I was just beginning my career) I just wanted to exempt of going to English classes, because I did not want to lose my time learning English. Now I think differently, I want to keep practicing my English, so that way, I will not forget it.

My knowledge of the language I owed to my mom, she taught me when I was younger, so that was fundamental, and she always encouraged me to developed my hearing skills, so I listened song in English and paid attention to the dialogues of the English-talked movies. When I was in School a few years after I got English classes; the class was one for all the students, so teachers taught just the basics. I never had to write a paper or an essay in English, I just had to talk, and that made me have a weak point in this language: the writing so it was a little disappointing.


But when I got to college things changed, I had to take different classes according of my English level, I took the diagnosis test and I got into the III group, and because it is mandatory to take English classes I took them. Last term I took Miss Yulia Kitaeva’s class and it was great, she made the “learning English experience” fun. She always corrected our English and encourage us to learn more on our own. This term I’m taking Juan Luzzi’s class and it has turned out just fine, I have improved my writing skills and learned new vocabulary.


Because of this reasons I strongly recommend taking English classes in College, it makes you not forget what you have learned over the years, because makes you practice it. It also makes you learn new vocabulary and the best of all, it’s free. If you do not want to get your English knowledge rusty, you need to practice it, and taking the classes according your English level is a great way to do it.

  1. You have more a than a point there.
    The people of your generation are very lucky when it comes to learning and improving your English language skills, since you have many sources to do so, such as the internet, subtitled movies, etc. I wonder why some students don’t take advantage of that.
