English language challenges

Hi partners, this is the last blog of the course of English 4, and I will write about my experience during the semester. Well, I didn't write in English before enter to school, my first class of English was in fourth grade of primary until fourth of secondary but I never taken the English class seriously.

When I was enter to university they require me learn the language and I considered it unfair. In anthropology why we have to learn obligatorily the language of North America and United Kingdom and not the Aymará? for example, Or Mapuzugun? I always have though that we should learn other languages in the practice, if I go to Brazil I will learn Portuguese speaking with the people and listening to the idiom that they use regularly.

Anyway, getting back to the central theme of this post, during this class I have learned a lot about reading texts in English which has always been what I do best. And I’ve perceive that I understand better when I listening a someone speak in English, sometimes in the movies for example I can understand what is the subject about which the characters speak talk without the spanish subtitles. But my weak point is still talk with people, it’s hard to me think in English and not translate the Spanish sentences in my brain what makes me linger and lose time during in the conversation. This is because I don’t speak English in my daily life, I don’t know foreign or friends that speak the language, I only listening music and watching movies in English. Because of this my principal reflection or critique about the English course is that languages are learned in the practice in a better way and in his own and specific contexts.
