Day 1 - Pushing up ourself Many cultured people who have experience in learning foreign languages state that the best way ever to memorize new words or just expand our own vocabulary is using those words or expressions in a real context so that they can be inside a network where it can be easier to find them and afterwards memorize them. I have been studying English for one year and a half which is not a long time actually. You might say that English is also studied at school, well, you're right but you have to know that in Italy the way of learning English at school is not as really effective as you might think. Ok, we have an English class since the secondary school, we do tons of grammar rules and exercises, during high school we do as many but we don't really use the language in the real life, no listening, no speaking, no practice, ever. So much so that at the end of the story if you don't practice the language by yourself you will risk to be out of the school with an incredible gap in the English language, and nowadays it is something that a fresh graduate who is approaching to the world of work can't afford. I think the issue is that for the Italian school system English is seen so much as a way to give us a breakthrough in our future professional career but as simply a subject as math, physics, and so on. To make things worse there's the fact that during my engineering classes at University I have completely left the language in every his aspect. Fortunately I opened my eyes and a light bulb lighted on just on time, and thank to the Erasmus experience in UK during the last year at University I had the opportunity to be in touch with the Language for about 9 months and afterwards I kept on practicing English up to now. However, so much for my path in mastering the language, the road is still long but I am not as panicked as I was before. From now on I thought about writing on this space to directly use the new words that I will come across during this fantastic journey, as I have done today, where I used as much as twenty new words. :) Bye, and thank you for attention!
