One Year Has Gone...

Today I woke up with all the full of energy, thinking in contemplating myself as I had never done before! 

A year has passed since I left my mother country, México. I was so happy, expecting the best of the best. My goal, of course, was to learn English perfectly, but what a big surprise - there were many Spanish speakers here as well. So, I didn't practise as much as I could have. Everybody was speaking Spanish and I was started to feel frustrated.

One year has already gone, and I dont feel as if my English is really good.
For sure I can certainly understand and speak the language, but not how I wanted to.

Now, I have nine more months to reach my goal... I know, I need to put more effort in... but I really don't know how to do it.

I've been reading a blog (  http://www.fluentin3months.com/ ) where the writer, after living in Spain for six months and learning almost no Spanish, decided to improve his poor Spanish by stopping any use of English completely. That is, you remove the option of speaking your mother tongue. ;)
