I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGLISH PROGRAMME MAN.

The first time you step into the university, one of the first thing they do -before congratulate you- is to make you take a test about your english level and put you in a course that works for you. And I think that is good, Universidad de Chile has students with all kind of backgrounds. With higher or lower education, differents places of the country and all that, so is just natural that not all of them has the same level. The thing is that this test is fucking bananas. A lot of my friends speak quite good in english, but they had to take all of the courses. For God's sake: Alex Velluti, an italian friend of mine worked 4 years in an hotel in England, he spoke english way better than I could ever do AND HE WAS PUT IN ENGLISH II, MEANWHILE I WAS PUT IN ENGLISH III. That shit takes time man, using 2 or 3 hours a week in learning things that you already know is kinda frustrating and counterproductive.

Then there is the thing about the blogs. I like that system, it allows you to think in specific topics and that forces you to search for new vocabulary because you realize you may speak like Harry Potter but if you lack lexicon what are you going to say? Will you be speaking only with conjugations? I like it.

But again I have a complain. I think this systems drags you a lot of the class time and you don't get that sweet english knowledge because it's only a half an hour activity in the week and that's it.


Anyway, let's talk about something great. Me.

Despite I can understand like 80% of all the things I read in english, I need to firm up some things, specially if we talk about lexicon and pronunciation. But I guess I can improve that by doing nothing as always

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
