Hello again Hi, everyone This is Sofia, after a long time. I was away from Italki a several time, but now I back ( I know anybody cares jjaja) Well, I'm here because I have started again with the fight of learning English. So, the target is become constantly in my way to be fluent in English but just the time says the result. ;) I'm scared and nervous about the difficult is for me improve my English skills, especially speaking. When I speak with someone all the words and grammatical rules are erased from my brain. So, I'm a total mess at that moment. Anyway, I will continue in my fight with English. Nice to be back, P.S. If someone needs a person to practice their Spanish, don't be shy just write me :) and sorry for the mistakes (I'm really trying to improve it. )

Saturday with my roommate Today I went with my roommate to buy somethings that we needed. First we went from university to the city by a bus, it was really problematic because as students we need to have wit us our residency documents and student card, I forgot the document so I had to return to my room to take that. Well, after that we went to the mall and walking for many time looking for schoolar materials, a pair of shoes for my roommate and finally we buy a nice furniture for shoes, now we have a furniture to put our shoes. It was a long day but we were able to find all the things that we need.

An interesting video and reflexion Yesterday I watched a video about How to learn any language in short time I think that was interesting, two guys were talking about their experience and our feelings when we are learning a new language. They said at the beginning we always feel fear and many times we think that we are not able to learn it. I was like: Oh..I have felt that many times Make mistakes is our principal fear but they said it's ok Just talk, the people that are fluent in the language understand any word that we said and correct us I think about it and I remember the times that I speak with a person who is learning Spanish..They talk and don't feel fear to make mistakes and I think why I can't do the same? I hear them and when they make mistakes I just said it's ok..no problem I think I have to try to talk without fear and improve my English skills An interesting advice that they gave is non-English in my case non-Spanish...that means if you find someone that talk the language that you are learning talk with she/he in that language and it's ok if you use google translator or a dictionary in the majority of time because with the time the words are keeping in our mind. Well, then I think it is time to talk with people that speak English and use a lot of google translator or dictionary and at the end I hope be fluent in the language.

Homecoming I have away from Italki for three or more months.. But was for a good reason, I think. I went to my house for my vacations. I went just for a month but I was very happy because I could see and talk with my family. My older brother and my mom went at the airport to wait for me, It was amazing. I live in the rural area of the city and for arrive to my house we have to drive for 4 hours but it's ok, because at the end I was in my country. My parents, sisters and brothers talked a lot with me, and I loved it. But we talk in my native language called Kichwa, we don't use spanish then I had to forget for a month the spanish and my english learning too. Also I was able to visit my friends and my high school teachers. I think our family and friends are the best gift in our lives. However, when we are happy and we want that the time be infinite it goes so fast but when we want that the thime go fast it's all opposite. A problem I think My vacations time finished and I had to return to my third year at the university. I begin with the classes of my major, returned classes in spanish and I think is the time to continue with my english learning too.
