English Language Challenges

About my experience learning English at university, it has been quite varied, when I first enter, the English was taught differently, with a focus more in technicalities, in order to be more useful for the  academic use, the idea was good, but the difference from when we learn it to when we use it, it made him feel a bit unnecessary, in addition the focus on more the academic field and technicalities, did not fix I think the biggest problem of the students nowadays, which is not knowing how to speak English fluently. Now with this system, which makes us constantly practice pronunciation, I feel we are progressing more, because it also takes the language learning to a more current, more real context. But we are still far from finishing the pending task regarding English

A system that I find interesting and effective is the use of blogs, firstly because it brings the learning of English to a more current context, with the use of more technologies, which facilitate the self-learning interests and the accessibility of those who are learning.

My english needs lot of improve, mainly the pronunciation and conjugation, are factors that always there, so frankly i think after university i definitely will take a extra english course.

Outside the English classroom, the common uses for what has been learned, go from the academic to the personal leisure. either having to read papers that ask for certain subjects or reading scientific articles, in order to prepare seminars or presentations. Until the use of English in my personal space, whether reading comics or manga only in English, as well as video games, mainly RPGs that are only available in English, as well as TV series or Netflix, the point is to try to expand the vocabulary and go day by day expanding a little more knowledge in English.
