Hello from Mexico! I am looking for some advice Hello, My name is Luis. I am from Mexico City. I have studied English all my life, and specially in the last years I have made a big effort in order to improve my pronunciation. I think that my grammar and vocabulary are in a good level. According to previous examinations and the exams which I have sat, I reached the C1 level. But many times I feel dissapointed about myself because I make silly mistakes or I can´t remember the proper way of saying something that it´s supposed I should know. I am always afraid of using in particular phrasal verbs, it is so hard to me to catch how to use them. However, I understand that the only way to get confidence in using a language is practicing and making mistakes. I hope one day I could be as fluent as a native speaker. Minewhile thanks for reading and if you have any suggestion I will be gratefull :) Luis PD: I am planning a studies trip for the next year. I have already studied in London last year for a couple of months, and I don´t know if I will go back to London o maybe I will try another city, maybe Manchester :) what do you think about that?

Hello, My name is Luis. I am from Mexico City. I have studied English all my life, and especially in the last years I have made a big effort in order to improve my pronunciation. I think that my grammar and vocabulary are in at a good level. According to previous examinations and the exams which I have sat, I reached the C1 level. But many times I feel disappointed inabout myself because I make silly mistakes or I can´t remember the proper way of saying something that it´s i'm supposed to (or I should) know. I am always afraid of using in particular phrasal verbs, it is so hard to me to catch how to use them.

However, I understand that the only way to get confidence in using a language is practicing and making mistakes. I hope one day I could be as fluent as a native speaker. Meanwhile thanks for reading and if you have any suggestion I will be grateful :)

Luis Wow, Luis! You're doing great work, excellent writing practice here. I'm an American native speaker, and maybe your focus is British English, but I made a few small corrections. With some verbs, like disappointed, we use specific prepositions - disappointed IN someone, or disappointed ABOUT something. Phrasal verbs aren't easy, but maybe try focusing on 50-100 to add to your vocabulary. Keep up the good work! -miss carrie

Hello from Mexico! I am looking for some advice.

Hello, My name is Luis. I am from Mexico City. I have studied English all my life, and during the last few years, I have made a big effort in order to improve my pronunciation. I think that my grammar and vocabulary are at a good level. According to previous examinations and the exams which I have sat, I have reached the C1 level. But many times I feel disappointed in myself because I make silly mistakes or because I can´t remember the proper way of saying something that it´s supposed I should know. I am always afraid of using in particular phrasal verbs in particular because it is so hard to me to understand how to use them.

However, I understand that the only way to get confidence in using a language is by practicing and by learning from mistakes. I hope one day I can/will be as fluent as a native speaker. Meanwhile thanks for reading, and if you have any suggestions, I will be grateful :)
