Post 1 - About me

Hello everybody,

Today task is my autobiography, so here we go.

On April 13th 1993 I was born. It was a rainy, my grandma always told me that it was the worst rain in years and they almost had to swim to the hospital.

At the age of 3 I went to my first school, graduated at the age of 17 and the next 4 years I studied a carreer that I hated, Medical Technology in Universidad de Chile. Worst 4 years of my life. My mom realised that it wasn't my jam and let me study the only thing that I like: art.

I live with my mom and my brother, 3 dogs and a cat here in Santiago. Most of my family is in Argentina, so we were adopted by some friends that I can call my aunts, uncles and cousins.

I like videogames, mostly for PC and 3DS. Im a nerd. If I'm not playing, I'm in YouTube. I love cooking videos and make up tutorials, even if I don't know how to do it (every time I tried I looked like a drag or a clown. Or both). Also, I'm trying to lose weight so the gym is my new friend and my new activity in my free time.

I guess that's all. Have a nice day :)

Expectations

Hi everyone,

My name is Tatiana and I'm studying Plastic Arts at Universidad de Chile.

Todays task is writing about the expectations of this English course. I'm expecting to be more confident with my English skills, my speaking in particular. I would like to have topics like what music do we like, talk about our pets (I want to talk about my cat because she is the best), places we would like to visit and what movies or TV shows do we like. 

To be honest, I think writing and reading are the easiest skill to learn. I mean, is kind of difficult to learn some rules, but eventually you learn and understand the words and how to put in a sentence by repetition. But speaking or listening? Those are really really hard. The pronunciation of some letters are so different between English and Spanish and some accents are impossible to understand even when I try my best. It's like I need subtitles to understand people.

It's kind of fun this class. I like blogs and writing about things I like. This is a fun way to force our selfs speak English, to make us see that learning a different language is useful and we can communicate with others, more people can understand us. And let's be honest, boring things always sound cooler in English.

I guess that's all for today. 

Have a nice day :)
