My experience studying English at university

Learning English has always been one of my goals, since childhood. A language I find it very interesting, useful and practical for my future aspirations. Not for nothing is the international language we all speak and we should talk.

It is for this reason that when I finished school enters a school to improve my knowledge. I spent a whole year in that school, but then I had to leave because they enter college. The first year of college English courses had not, so my language learning period looked stalled for lack of time and opportunities. But by the second year of my career, we reported that impart compulsory English courses. The fact that they were required was not a problem for me because it's true that I really like the language.

We took a test at the beginning of that year so we know which level (there are levels I through IV). Actually I found that the test was complicated, the downside was that I ran out of time to respond. Anyway, the result was not bad. Left in level II, so the course would begin in August 2008.

At the beginning of level II, found that it was very easy, it must be because they still had some prior knowledge. But over time I realized that I knew so much, and it was complicating the course, although I must admit that the teacher was very unfair to the notes. But nevertheless I passed the course with an acceptable note. But I really liked it.

Even in first half of 2009 I studied English III and has been the best English course I did. Professor Laura Castillo, was a well motivated, enthusiastic and committed to their students. She managed the whole course was always attentive and happy to go to class.

In late 2009, I had to attend English IV, but I must admit I took it out of obligation since, on issues of time was not going to take another year.

As a conclusion could be said that English courses serve as the foundation for learning the language. But just that, not as you think the rest of the teachers who give us an advanced English papers, which do not possess and the university does not give us the opportunity to learn.

  1. As you very well said, English courses are just the the foundation for learning the language. No program will enable you to be a truly fluent English speaker by itself, so you should try to use as many chances to have interaction with the language as possible. In other words your personal commitment is essential to your success at learning.

    Please have a look at you corrected post.

    Learning English has always been one of my goals, since childhood. IT´S A language THAT I find very interesting, useful and practical for my future aspirations. Not for nothing IT is the international language we all USE and we should SPEAK.

    It is for this reason that when I finished school I enterED a school to improve my knowledge. I spent a whole year THERE, but then I had to QUIT because I HAD TO START college. The first year of college WE DIDN´T HAVE ANY English courses, so my language learning period looked stalled DUE TO lack of time and opportunities. But by the second year of my career, we WERE TOLD/INFORMED that English courses WOULD BE compulsory. The fact that WE were required TO TAKE ENGLISH CLASSES was not a problem for me because it's true that I really like the language.

    We took a test at the beginning of that year so we knEW which level WE BELONGED IN(there WERE levels I through IV). Actually, I found that the test was complicated, the downside was that I ran out of time to respond. Anyway, the result was not bad/I DIDN´T DO BADLY -I WAS PLACED in level II, AND the course would begin in August 2008.

    At the beginning of level II, I found that it was very easy, it must be because I still had some prior knowledge. But over time I realized that I DIDN´T KNOW so much, and the course GOT MORE AND MORE complicatED. Although I passed the course with an acceptable MARK, I must admit that the teacher was very unfair WITH the GRADES. But , ALL THE SAME I really liked it.

    In THE first half of 2009 I studied English III and IT has been the best English course I HAVE DONE. Laura Castillo, MY TEACHER, was (/) well motivated, enthusiastic and committed to their students. She managed TO MAKE the whole course BE always attentive and happy to go to class.

    In THE late 2009, I had to attend English IV, but I must admit I [took it out of obligation since, on issues of time was not going to take another year.= NOT CLEAR]

    As a conclusion IT could be said that English courses serve as the foundation for learning the language. But just that, [not as you think the rest of the teachers who give us an advanced English papers, which do not possess= NOT QUITE CLEAR] and the university does not give us the opportunity to learn.
