When I first started learning English ten years ago, I could not hardly say a word – ‘hello’, ‘thank you’ was just about it! I went to class two evenings a week and I was surprised at how quick I made progress. During the course, we learned lots of vocabularies and studied grammar rules. The thing I enjoyed most was able to practice to speak with the other older students in my class. Two years lately, I went to England to study at a language school. It was Cambridge. I did a three-weeks course at a very good school and I stayed with a local family. It was a fantastic experience and I picked out lot of new languages from speaking with my host family and with other students from all in the world. I really improved my pronunciation as well. When I got back to Spain, I was much more confident. I could actually held a conversation with my teacher in English. |
