The true is that English has never been a serious subject for me, since I learned the basics in first grade in Boston, so I started reading and writing in English and then in Spanish. So I would need to improve in a more technical sense, in the science area for it to really be a challenge. I prefer using everything I can in English language since I find it more poetic and better said than in Spanish, and that is why I keep using it continuously, such as computer, cellphone, series, games, etc. I hate it when people ask me to speak in English from the nothingness, since it is boring and I become uncomfortably conscience, and since no one speaks it I find it unneeded. And as a translator I am incredibly lazy, but when it is needed I do it. I do think blogs are an incredibly comfortable way to learn writing, especially when there is someone to correct and clear ones doubts. And I enjoyed the fact that the teacher enhanced our learning process by making us have a conversation with him, I think it is the best course of action If you wish to learn the language, doing it not only on a test. I do not like filming videos tho, I prefer a live interrogation and expression of Ideas. I normally don't have the ability to make a fluid conversation in Spanish, since I forget a lot in the moment what I was about to say, I end up blank, or I can't find the correct word to express something, or I think the word in English, so the same thing happens to me when I speak in English, and when I write I tend to write backwards some letters of the words, but that is just me. I really liked the Idea of not demanding an English accent or a British way of speaking, since I am more comfortable with the North american way of speaking which is more lax, tho it might be a little harder to follow. And unless they make the English learning process more natural at school, as learning any mother language, getting good results will be a challenge.
Spanish is my mother language and even that way sometime I forget words and can only remember them in English LoL
