Well this English course (since I only had
to take English IV it’s the only course I can talk about), speaking honestly,
didn’t help me much in terms of vocabulary, since the material that what use is
very old, a language it’s something that changes through time so it needs an
update from time to time, and also it is for British English, so a lot of words
and phrases that I didn’t know I knew how to say them in American, but it help
me a lot to improve my redaction, I wrote in English only a few times for tests
in high school, so having to write a blog every week was very helpful. So the
only thing that I need to improve is my pronunciation and getting to speak
smoothly, but I think that for me is not helpful exercise it in the classroom,
I think that I can only get better by actually speaking more in English with
other people in more everyday situations. For outside the English class, I practically
only consume English media, movies, series, music, videogames, board games, videos,
comics, articles, news, etc, outside from facebook, I only read in English.
Around 2012 I started to watch only videos in English in youtube, and since
then I search everything in English, specially movies and series, I hate with
my soul dubbed media, I think that if it is dubbed it kills it completely, I
once resold a game without even playing it because it was dubbed, so now if I
don’t find it subtitled I watch it in English at the cost of missing a few
words, but there is always the possibility that someone in it have a weird
accent so despite you knowing a lot of English you are not going to understand
it anyway.
I need really improve my pronunciation and I forget put on my blog :c
