Enjoy learning

Sometimes we learn a language just because we have to pass an exam, we need it for our job and so on, but I think that we don´t really learn a language in that  the situations when we are obligated obliged to learn it; we just study it. When I was at school I studied eEnglish, but I didn´t learn it because I didn´t enjoy those moments when I was in front of a book or memorazing memorizing words. However, currently my study method has changed a lot of and now I have started learning a language. I watch videos, I read books, sometimes I write things down something and so on. I think that we have to figure out which is our best learning method, the method which we have just fun (I'm not sure of the meaning here :) ).

Which are your language learning tricks?

Holidays are about to end.

The holidays are finally about to end finally! I had more than a month of doing absolutely nothing, and altough I will start my jJapanese and eEnglish classes AND my courses at university all in the same week, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'm usually very lazy and since I live pretty far from college I get tired after one or two weeks of attending to my subjects, but this time I'm excited because I'll take my language tests in sSeptember, and if I pass them I'll finally be able to take the translation subjects of for my career; now I'm just taking law-related ones and it's a bit annoying because I'm not really into law.

I also miss my jJapanese classes. Everyone there are is so nice, the sensei (teacher) is such a wonderful person...and my partners are really funny too, although they talk way too much sometimes! I feel very comfortable there.

My eEnglish lessons will resume next week. All we're doing is doing FCE tests, practising for the end of the year. I'm a little worried about the speaking part, because I'm too shy and I get nervous talking in a foreign language in front of people I don't know,(consider a comma here to break up the sentence) and who are going to decide if I pass or if I don't ^^' The other problem with the speaking part is that when I'm alone at home I can easily talk fluently and a lot of ideas come to my mind, everything is perfect and I think I can master it. Well, that doesn't happen to me when I'm taking an oral exam. Everything that I had planned seems to have vanished from my mind like a bubble. It's so frustrating!

I hope I can improve that part.

Note that "practising" is British English and "practicing" is American English. So whichever you prefer!

A little bit about me.

Mi name is Cinthia but my friends call me Chinese. I'm 20 years old. I live in Argentina, in Mar del Plata City.
Nowadays, I am studying English at Mar del Plata's National University. Actually, I am taking a course to become an English Teacher.
I find it very nice because I love to speak English but it is also kind of difficult. I have learnt that the more you practice the better. You can only improve your writing by writing a composition every day, you only can improve you speaking by chatting with your dudes, that's the reason why I am here.
So, you guys are all invited to talk to me and practice Spanish and help me to practice English.

See you, Cinthia.
