English Language Challenges

In my case, before entering university, I had  very basic notions of English, in other words, I knew some verbs and how to apply them thanks to some movies or some songs.

The truth I had to learn English in my school days was quite deficient and boring. This is why attend more "serious" English courses at the university meant a big change for me.
For example, the use of blogs has helped me a lot. Since, write my own ideas motivates me more than do other types of activities in English (like read a text that does not interest me). I think write blogs it's a good technique to learn the language (althought i do not have the ability to write blogs very well). Because write a text makes you think and "forces" you to look for the right words or connectors to express an idea clearly in English, Spanish or any other language.
