learning English at the university


Always know another language is an advantage in different areas such as work area, learning area or simply for establish a relation with a foreign people. This skill could open a varied possibilities and opportunities in your life, but is not easy to learn English, you must to dedicate a lot of time because you have to develop all the skills like listening, speaking, writing and reading, it is a process and it could take at least a couple of years depending of the intensity of time that you dedicate to it. In my case it was a very long process and this process still being during, in the next paragraphs a try to tell you about my experience learning English specifically during the university.
At the beginning I started learning English at the school (it was my base). My school had an important hours dedicated to learn this idiom but it was more focused in writing and reading. After the school I started my university life. In the first two years I didn’t dedicate time to English and I forgot the great majority of the things that I was learn at the school. At the university you have to read a lot of papers and books (wrote in English), it was one of the reason why I took the decision to resume “the path of English” and I took some English courses in the “Norteamericano” institute, it was a very good experience, because I could recover some things learned at the school and improve others aspects like speaking and listening, but the problem with this institute is the expensive fare.
One year after this experience I decided to gain more knowledge and I subscribed a university subject called Ingles 3 and next of that English 4, those two subjects was a very important tool to develop all the skills mentioned, it allow me increase my performance in all the activities related with English. Once time a week is not too much, but in spite of this it was enough to maintain and improve considerably my abilities in English.
In conclusion learn English is a very important tool but is not easy to learn, you must to dedicate time of your life, and you never have to stop of learn English because it is always things to learn and practice. If you stop of listening, writing, listening and speaking possibly you could decrease and lost all of your knowledge gained. In my opinion this effort and sacrifice for learning English really worth, and it could open an important number of doors in your life.
