- Learn english is good here in Monterrey México Hey guys and gals, I just wanted to talk about something that came up yesterday in a conversation with my father in-law. We been talking about job positions here in Monterrey Mexico. I told him that there is a set of job positions that requiere english and are well payed. Below are a few examples. -English teacher. Here in Monterrey there are a lot of private elementary schools that teach english on a daily basis. For this reason there are always jobs positions that requiere people who knows how to teach english -Call Center executive. There a market for call center here. They are always looking for people to start working now. It's easy for anyone who knows english well to get a job in this kind of offers. I think the pay well but I don't know for sure but the thing is that there is always open positions to be fullfilled. -Computer analyst. For those who know have a bachelor's degree on computer science it is not difficult to get a job in any of the area. There are always open positions for people who know how to build databases or develop software applications. In general this job positions require certain level of english starting from 50% to 100%. We went through a couple of other examples but in general we discused the three mentioned above. I think to know some level of english here is good.May 6, 201410
- I am back Hello italki people, I am back here to keep with my atudying. I've been doing a bit of everything during the last six months and I think I got some progress in my abilities. I make mistakes but I think I am better to explain myself and my ideas, discuss business topics, answer emails, attend meetings and all that kind of stuff. I this time I am studying grammar again and listening an I would like to share what I'm doing to improve =Listening I order to improve my listening I use to what videos on youtube. I use the subscriptions so I get new videos from people that I am familiar with. I have a large list of people that I follow on youtube I would like to talk/write about them in future italki entries so I will not reveal my subscriptions now. Basically what I do is to watch one hour daily of a menu of different people that upload videos. Some of then speak very fast but the good part is that they use common language so this is good. In terms of listening that is what I'm doing now. Let's talk about grammar =Grammar I'm the kind of person that look for the easiest way to complete a task. Since grammar is a complex topic to study I'm always looking new ways to study grammar and keep motivated with my studying. What I'm doing now is to create mind maps. I like to create mind maps because I learn while I create the map and then I learn when I review the map. My process is first at all I get a book of grammar. Then I create the mind map with an application like mindmanager and then I study my map. I start my studying collapsing all the nodes and then I ask to myself the meaning of a question. i.e. there is a collapsed node with the questions. What is a noun?, then I expand the node to look the answer but before I ask to myself the answer. =Speaking This is something that I'm doing and I think is giving me good results. I record videos of 5 to 10 minutes with my camera. In this videos I explain a very simple topic like. How I brush my teeth. I start with a introduction like. "Hello this is Mario and today I will explain you how I brush my teeth", then I develop the conversation. I'm always try to keep the conversation going. If I made a mistake I try to continue saying something like "sorry, I wanted to say.." and then I continue until explain the idea or get drained of ideas. =Writing I write emails in English all day in my work. Well, this is a summary of what I'm doing. See you around.May 28, 201300

0 votedDecember 10, 20120- Today is my birthday Today is my birthday, I was born in Mexico City in 1984, but for some reason I can't remember Mexico City at all, when I turned 4 years my entire family changed of location, and then I was raised at Tabaco Mexico. That is the city that I remember in my childhood, it's the city in which live most of my friends, at this time I am not living in Tabasco, and because of that, now I see the folklore that is over there. Here in Monterrey the traditions are quite different, overthere in Tabasco you can see more vegetation and colours, and there are somenthig called Feria Tabasco, which it is like a fair but it has a lot of folkorical activities like dances and performances, I left you a link to a flickr album so you can see what I mean when I said that I miss the colours. http://www.flickr.com/photos/expotabasco/sets/72157629890924787/?page=2December 1, 201231
