Approaching the English language was not easy, because the teachers of the school did not teach well. Except teacher Maria Paz, she taught me English for the last two years on average, with her if you could learn English, she made us practice a lot. Also, I had classes with her four times a week.
After leaving school, I spent a year without practicing anything and when I entered University, I realized that I forgot to conjugate the verbs. I find it hard to make sentences in English...
My experience with the English language at the University is good, but it is not the best.
Nothing beats my school teacher, it's really good. I do not mean that the professors of the University are bad teachers, on the contrary, they are very good teachers, however I feel that the University's English program is not very striking.
This is difficult, it is difficult for teachers to do English in an attractive way for students, because in the University it is different from school, here the responsibilities in the subjects are much more, then English is set aside and little is taken attention to the field, which generates refusal to practice English outside the classroom, because it takes time and that time is invested in other subjects.
So improving the attractiveness of English at university is difficult, I do not know how to achieve it.
About the Blogs, I feel that they are very helpful, because when writing in English the person improves his writing, since he realizes his mistakes and corrects them.
It have helped me a lot, I feel that every time, thanks to blogs, I write a little better in English, my ideas are sorted by writing them.
Outside the University, I use English in low intensity, limited to a couple of words, to the "duolingo" game and to learn the lyrics and sing the songs in English that I like.
