To fluency Along my journey toward fluency, I've started to wonder why it's so easy to reach an intermediate level in English and also how easy we can get stuck in it without making any progress. Learning a new language is not just about new words and grammar rules. We learn a new culture, we learn a different way to see the world, to understand different situations. I've realized that one of the reasons why we don't make progress is because we are too focused in one skill and we end up forgeting about the others. Talking to people from different nationalities has been a great experience for me, it helped me to understand different accents and my listening is way better than it was 6 months ago. My hectic routine and lack of time has prevented me of making video calls, so I usually talk to people on Skype (typing) and on whatsapp. I know that I make many mistakes but this is good, because when I don't know how to write something, I research and I learn a different vocabulary through my doubts, so I'm satisfied with my writting so far. I watch movies and series in English, I listen to music in English everyday. I write down in my notepad all the new words and I review them often to memorize. Althoug all the time I spend practicing with different resources, I have to make a big effort to speak. Even when I memorize new words and expressions, they just disappear from my mind when I'm in the middle of a conversation, and everything gets so boring. Now I know that if I want to reach an advanced level, I have to practice writting, listening, reading and mainly speaking. I cannot practice only one skill.
