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 :)
