English language challenges

My experience learning English in my life has been really simple. It wasn't difficult to me to learn the basics when I was younger and it hasn't been difficult even now. I think that I enjoy the action to learn to communicate in other languages, even if it is not necessary... From Ohayo, Guten morgen, Good morning... to Buenos días.

I remember that my main reason that I learned English was when I was playing video games and got stuck. I searched for a dictionary and searched word by word, decoding what was happening until the moment I finally didn't forget the words and started to translate for fun... and I ended up learning a relatively complete vocabulary which was improved in school and throughout other experiences.

This year I think I've given a few tweaks to my English experience in the university. It have been a grateful experience and it was something new and fun to make videos and blogs.
The aspect that I think I need to improve is the ability to speak fluently without resorting to a repetition of words or hesitations. To improve this, in my opinion, the only way is practicing and overcome it overtime.

Nowadays I use the English language everywhere, not in my house obviously but, on the social network, searching for information, searching a song or a movie, in the television, radio, etc... English has been implanted everywhere and it's just a matter of looking around. It's funny, when someone watches a movie or listens to music, I understand everything that it is said and nobody in my house understands... even the type of music of today.. I'm impressed how bad the lyrics are.

I am surprised that this is the last of the blogs... it was a joy.

!Que tengan unas felices fiestas de navidad y año nuevo junto a sus seres queridos!

My Study Programme

I'm very happy with the subjects I will have to study in my career, especially the laboratories. The Chemistry career have more subjects related to investigation and analytical laboratories, which is the reason I love my career because one of my ambitions is to investigate the things of the world from the smallest part of it to comprehend the magnificence of the entire universe, at least, that is what I think.

My career goes from around 5 years, anyway it is probable to be more than that, because of repeating a subject or extending the thesis of the last year. I think it have the correct lenght and no unnecessary subjects.

Our faculty have a fair size and enough places for the students to study, I'm talking about the CIQ and the library, anyway I would like to have more green areas, places for the students to recreate and a better casino PLEASE. In the other hand, I don't like the university architecture so much but it is 1000 times better than my old school, which looked like a jail.

The teaching methods are the common, ''you sit there, I talk, you hear and learn''.
I don't like that method, I prefer to learn the theory and them practice with people, resolving problems or whatever. In my case, I am horrible learning alone... I need to hear it from someone close to me and exercise with company to learn something at the 100%... Nothing that I'm proud about U.U
