Learning English
-
In Spain, we start to learn English when we are 3 years old. Now. But when I was a child, we started when we were 7. Too late!
Our books only taught vocabulary (very basic) and some easy verbs. When we had finished the Primary Education, we only could say some sentences. "My name is...", "I'm from...", etc.
Still today, when you finish Bachellor, you must have a B1 level (intermediate) but the average of the students' level is very poor, like A2. That's the reason why in Spain we have a ridiculous level of English. Because it's not promoted, it's not cool (if you study you're a nerd in the bad way). You have to make a big effort to have the same level of a student of Secondary in Germany or France when you're an adult.
But here we are! Fighting! Because the good jobs and the good opportunities are outside the confort zone :D

Learning English.
These days in Spain, English is taught to children from age 3. But when I was a child, it used to be from age 7, which I think is a bit too late!In Spain, we start to learn English when we are 3 years old. Now. But when I was a child, we started when we were 7. Too late!

A person with a Bachelor degree is expected to have a level equivalent to B1 (intermediate level) but most of the students' level is still poor, with level A2. This is the reason why the level of English in Spain is ridiculous (poor). The language is not promoted; it's not cool! If you study then you're considered a nerd! An adult has to endeavour to achieve the same level as that of a secondary school student from Germany or France.
Here we are! Fighting! Because good jobs and better opportunities exist outside our comfort zone.
