time to come back It is time to come back and write again on my Italki profile. It has been ages when I posted my last English text and I know that if you want to improve your skills you need to practice every day. Today, I celebrate my third month in the UK, I am living here as aupair (but I can't hide that my aim is staying here and looking for a real job). I am not sure about my new English level, I don't think it is getting better even if every day I need to speak in English with my host family and once of week I go to school (just once a week because the school is very expensive and I can't spend all of my pocket money for the lessons). In this period I have noticed one big problem: I can't overcome my "elementary grammar structures": so I can say just simple sentences and if I don't know a word or a verb I try to make a simple sentence using the verbs I know; in that way I can speak with problem, but I can't learn new things. At the same time, I have noticed that if I learn new names most of the time I don't use them. It's like I have "my English" and I can't improve it. It is impossible to me speaking about what has happened during the day or making a story for the children, so I am not sure that learning a new language is for everyone (or, maybe, for me). since I have put the first step in the uk field, I understood that my English level was not good and the fault is 50% of the school. In the Italian school you give more attention to the grammar and not to the listening or pronunciation.

It has been ages since I posted my last English text and I know that if you want to improve your skills you need to practice every day.

Today, I celebrate my third month in the UK, I am living here as aupair (but I can't hide that my aim is to stay here and look for a real job).
I am not sure about my new English level, I don't think it is getting better even if every day I try to speak in English with my host family and once a week I go to school (just once a week because the school is very expensive and I can't spend all of my pocket money for the lessons). In this period I have noticed one big problem: I can't overcome my "elementary grammar structures": so I can say just simple sentences and if I don't know a word or a verb I try to make a simple sentence using the verbs I know; in that way I can speak with problem  difficulty, but I can't learn new things. At the same time, I have noticed that if I learn new names most of the time I don't use them. It's like I have "my English" and I can't improve it. It is impossible to speak about what has happened during the day or tell a story to the children, so I am not sure that learning a new language is for everyone (or, maybe, for me).
since I first step foot have put the first step in the uk field, I understood that my English level was not good and the fault is 50% of the school. In the Italian schools they give more attention to the grammar and not to the listening or pronunciation.
