    Alemania Viví en Alemania por dos años. Mi esposo y yo nos mudamos allí porque él recibió un trabajo como un entrenador de baloncesto con un equipo profesional. Fue una experiencia muy increíble. El primer año, vivimos en Hanau, que esta cerca de Frankfort y el segundo año, vivimos en Ludwigsburg, que esta cerca de Stuttgart. Me encantó vivir en una cultura diferente. Cuando yo estaba allí, yo tomé una clase de alemán y era una entrenadora de baloncesto para las niñas. También, yo tenía un trabajo de marketing por una empresa en los Estados Unidos que yo podía hacer por mi computadora. Cada día, caminaba a una cafetería y pedía muesli y café. Después, caminaba por la ciudad a mi universidad. Mi clase era cuatro horas por día y la profesora hablaba solamente alemán. Fue difícil, pero aprendí mucho. Había gente de todo el mundo en mi clase, incluyendo gente de China, Italia, Siria, Iran y más. Hablamos idiomas diferentes entonces, teníamos que hablar en alemán para comunicar. Era muy interesante para aprender sobre países y culturas diferentes. Mis cosas favoritas sobre Alemania fueron los mercados, la cerveza, los festivales y caminando por la ciudad. Fui a Oktoberfest in Munich con mi amiga y su esposo. Nos creamos en los Estados Unidos, pero ella vivía en Alemania porque su esposo es de allí. Bebimos mucho cerveza y lo pasamos muy bien. Hubo un gran festival de calabazas en Ludwigburg. Fue muy interesante. Hubo muchas competencias, como calabaza tallado, la mejor comida de calabazas, y la calabaza mas grande. ¡Hubo una calabaza que pesaba 916 kilogramos! Viaje mucho en Europa también. Fui a España, Italia, Grecia, Francia, Austria, Chequia, Hungría, Eslovaquia, Dinamarca, Suecia, Bélgica, Países Bajos y Luxemburgo. Monté el tren a muchos lugares o encontré billetes de avión baratos. Me encantó ver el mundo y fue una experiencia que no olvidaré.

    30 Day Challenge (19-30)

    Music has been my passion since I was a boy.
    I remember spending many hours locked up in my room, pretty much like kids these days do with their video games and smartphones, listening to my dad’s old records.
    I didn’t discriminate any genre of music.
    Jazz, rock and roll, country music, whatever. If it was good music it was for me.
    Back then I used to hear old people say that most of the new music that youngsters liked <s>at that time</s> wasn’t good and that proper music was<s> </s><s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the ones</s> from their time, so I started to believe that when people got old, they lost their ability to enjoy new music.
    Obviously I didn’t appreciate those comments and saw <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">it</s><s> </s>this behaviour as a sign of age.
    <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">I mean, old age so </s><s style="background-color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">??</s> I promised myself that when I got older I’d try to be as open-minded as possible in terms of music so that I could somehow keep myself young for as long as I could.
    At 47 I’m still trying to keep my promise, but the challenge is becoming harder by the hour.
    It seems that we got to a point where singers don’t need to have a good voice and musicians as a whole don’t even need to play <s>well</s> their instruments well. In fact, some of them don’t even have to play an instrument at all to be considered musicians.
    Basically, if one is skilled enough to play a couple of songs and mixed them up in a sequence so the listeners feel like dancing, this person is considered a musician and is risking?? to become quite rich and famous.
    Even though I’m still open to new experiences, it’s getting harder and harder to get impressed with music nowadays.
    I guess time has finally caught up with me, and I <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">just</s> have become what I feared the most, which was to be an old man.

    A presentation - English Project

    Hello everyone, my name is Jéssica Santos, I'm a medical student from Brasil, so my native language is Portuguese.
    I watch videos, lectures, listen to podcasts in English with no difficulty at all. By the way, I read the whole box of Harry Potter and it was an amazing experience. I learned a lot and it was also very fun. One day I had to write an email to take part in a study group of clinical cases in English, and to my surprise, I had such a hard time writing the text! I identified this weakness in writing besides speaking and thought that I have to start writing more to tackle this problem and improve my knowledge, becoming a better person and student. Regarding speaking, I use a technique called "shadowing" and suggest to those who want to improve speaking without spending money at all.
    When listening to class lectures, the most difficult thing for me, without a doubt, is understand some specific vocabulary and abbreviations about medicine.
    I want to share my experience here and also share tips to people, like me, who are learning a new language by themselves.
    Best regards!
