To be honest, this semester’s
blog is funnier than previous one, if I’m not sleepy I have fun while I’m
writing my entrances, it may be because I learn a lot the first semester so now
it’s quite easy to make it, well, I’m not perfect at English yet, and I make a lot of
mistakes, and there’re a lot of things that I still don’t know…but but, still…
it’s easy to be able to write things without
thinking about the sentences a few minutes, now I can think in English
more fluently than before! It’s like I’m stopping thinking in Spanish and
writing in English with the Spanish form, and started to think in English and
writing in English with the English form. And you know, if you feel you have
had such an improvement… you’re happy! Don't you ? if you don't, you’re weird….weirdo.
At first I thought that these
blogs were just to make a more dynamic course (in simply words, a waste of time), but know that I think about it,
it’s a malicious way to make us improve at our comunicative skills, writing
(orthography, verbs, the name of things) and production (how to make coherent
sentences and full texts without dying in your try). You learn how to do all of
this… without knowing!! You don’t know you’re learning!! I mean, it’s suppose
you should learn but you think you don’t learn, but truly… you’re learning!! It's
such an amazing, scaring and evil thing!
As I said before, there’re a
lot of things that I don’t know yet, or things that I have to improve with, one
of them is my pronunciation, I can do it decently but I'd like this to be as
if I was English… when I was studying Japanese my teacher told me “oooh… you
talk like a Japanese” and I die of happiness. But well, my death is not the
point, the point is… I like to do things well, it makes me happy. I also need to improve my courage at the time
when I must write in English to communicate, I mean… the real (?) English, when you have to socialize… and… you can’t be afraid because if
you are you will be a fail… that, I have
to improve that.
Well, outside the English class I’m using English almost everyday,
because I like to watch Korean dramas, I need to watch them translated to understand what they are saying and the
first language which it is translated to is English and then the other people use that
translation to make their own. I have two options if I really like the drama:
First: watch each episode in English because I don’t want to wait the Spanish
translation.
Second: I became part of the subbing team, which means that I have
to make translations of each dialogue.
I learn on both. I also read manga
(Japanese comic), and that manga are also in English becuse I don’t want to
wait and also because I still can’t find good translations (I mean… with good
orthography). And at least, sometimes I listen to English music and it’s a challenge
to guess what they are –trying…- singing.
Mmm there’re a lot of things on internet
that makes me use English so I will be fine, this won’t end here!
That's all, it's my last entrance... it's my goodbye... thank you for all ;___; <3
