ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

 Hi all!

Learning a new language is always a challenge. In the case of English, personally, although I have been exposed to this language from an early age, having it as a branch since primary school, in music, in some family images, etc. And although I have demonstrated skills by studying other languages, such as French. English, on the other hand, has always been particularly difficult for me to learn.

One of the biggest difficulties when studying English is understanding it when other people speak it. Constantly in the different courses I have had in English, both at school and at university, one of the most common activities is listening to an audio that generally deals with some dialogue between a client and a salesperson, someone who interviews another person or a conversation between two friends. To then answer questions that evaluate how much we understood from that dialogue. That's when the problems start for me. Because when I listen to them it gives me the feeling of listening to a very long riddle that plays at full speed!

Another difficulty I have when studying English is speaking it. When I speak English in front of another person I get so nervous that I forget all the words and it becomes a really awkward moment. At least this is what happens to me in instances such as dissertations, which are also common in the English courses I have been to, where I have had to resort more to memory than to understanding the structure of sentences. Perhaps the key is always confidence, but when it comes to English, I still need to work on that aspect.

Thanks for reading me! have a great day!
