Afraid to lose my English skills I won in England One month and a half in Spain after leaving England, my worst fear is reality. I think I'm losing some of my English skills I learnt in England. I'm trying to keep learning, reading or speaking English but it is quite different to be there, living everyday, speaking all the time English. For me, it was too hard to learn it and I don't want to lose it in an easy way. Maybe this is one reason to be here, writing in English this post. I don't if anyone have felt the same sensation like me. Other problem about this is, in Spain, few people are able to speak in English. Almost of them speak only in Spanish because we are a country in which nobody want to speak other languages, so it is quite complicated to find a place where you can do an exchange language or tandem. I would like to know if anyone can give an advice on this or which it'd be the best option to avoid losing my learnt skills. Thanks a lot for your correction (my English is not perfect) and advices. Alberto.

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 lived in other 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 other country completely opposite yours 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 improve 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 help you when you feel bad, sad or whatever. After 6 months, I came back to Spain to spend 15 days. After you step Spanish land, I felt so weird because I was listening people talking in Spanish. Yes, your own language was weird for you. That mean 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 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. Alberto.

Yes, I want and I can Recently, I was in NYC like a tourist and I fell in love of this great city. I can't deny I thought to move there and try luck looking for a job. I know it's very hard for european people get a visa but I want to try it. Also, I need a bit information about what kind of media have headquarters in NY because I would like to work like an internship if it would be possible. So, somebody can help me to make a list about the media of NY? I need to know media who talk in Spanish.

Anybody can explain me the difference between may and might? I can't understand it and I know that it's basic English but sometime I can't understand it. Thanks!

Somebody know any website to learn phrasal verbs with games? It's very boring learn one by one....

Match day Hi guys, How are you? I'm back for write about my "special day". Today, I played a football match in the morning. The match was celebrated because the team of my city celebrate 90 years. Well, the tournament was integrated with this kind of teams: "press", "club employees", "old players" and "supporters". I played on press team and we lost two of two matches but I enjoyed a lot. Our team was a little anarchy because it was the first time that we played together but it was more or less fine. I hope that the next match in Christmas, we can win one of them. [REMEMBER, your corrections are welcome, you will help me to improve my English. Thanks]

Are the phrasal verbs so important in English? Currently, I'm studying this and I don't know if it is important to have a conversation... Thanks!

Amazing week in Valencia In my last post I told you I would go to Valencia and I came back yesterday. The week was incredible, I could learn and improve my English with native teachers. I got intermediate certificated of English so I'm very glad with my hard work in that week. I had 8 hours of class per day so It was very hard and tired but the result was very satisfactory. Also, I could meet a lot of new friends from different places of Spain and we could go out the party last two night and it was amazing. I hope to get this scholarship next year. However, I will continue improving my English. [Your corrections are welcome, you will help me to improve my English. Thanks]

Holiday in October No, I'm not crazy. Months ago, I received a notification which I was chosen to get a scholarship. My destination is Valencia, Spain and the objective is to learn and practice English with other students from different universities of Spain. I will have class of English full time during one week and the classroom will be of five/six student with a native teacher, so I hope I can improve my English there. Valencia It's a great town of Spain, It has good weather, it's very big so I'm excited to go there. I have never been in Valencia because it's very far from my town but people say me that Valencia is wonderful. If i can write every day when I am there, I will do it.
