10 months in England. One way to improve your English

Probably, while you are reading these lines and this entry, you will think I didn't learn too much... or maybe yes. Who knows.

I want to share with you all my experience of having lived in another country. I arrived in England with an unique goal: IMPROVE MY ENGLISH.

10 months later, I can say I got it. It was a hard experience because it is quite complicated surviving in another country completely opposite to mine* while my English level was low-medium. But it is true that It was one of the best experience of my life.

After one month, I had a job, friends and an accommodation completely full of English people. Yes, an accommodation with English people. This is one of keys to improving your English. I was all the time speaking in English when I arrived at home. There wasn't time to speak in Spanish unless you were talking with your family on Skype.

Other key to improve your English is having English/European friends. I learnt a lot of words, expressions and grammar thanks to these friends. Not all your friends must to be foreigners, I had two Spanish friends who helped me when I felt bad, sad or whatever.

After 6 months, I came back to Spain to spend 15 days. After you step on Spanish land, it felt so weird because I was listening to people talking in Spanish. Yes, your own language is weird for you. That means your English has improved, I don't know how much, but it is an indication that It happened.

And after 10 months, and when you have to say bye to your friends' group, you receive a lot of congrats from your friends. Congrats which are saying to you: "well done mate, I remember the first time I met you and your English level was so low and now I feel your have improved a lot" or "I can confirm you that your level has increased and your have improved, congrats".

I would like to recommend this experience to everyone. It is the best and fastest way to improve your English. As I said, probably my level is not perfect but I'm so proud of myself.

Any correction is welcome, for sure. I want to keep improving! I'm so ambitious.
