Post 10: English Language Challenges

I can say that regarding the challenges that I have come across, the most dificult thing is finding the right expresions for what I want to say. It´s hard for me translate  the meaning of some frases in proper english. .. The clases in the University are quite interesting. The good thing about the blogs is that we can write about certain topics that we don´t usually talk about, And it´s  kind of liberating. especially in the sense of it´s practicality. Also I can read what other classmates write and get to know some more about them. My english needs more speaking practice so that I can start to gain more confidence and use more vocabulary. I think I can make myself understood, even though I have a long way to go yet. I hope to get better with talking with my friends who are always willing to have conversations with me even though I annoy them with my mexican accent.
I´m using my english to be able to understand anything I see on the internet especially things to do with music , rockstar interviews and watch films and videos  like my favourite Ron Wood ones without the subtitles.
I was very pleased with myself for being able to speak in english with some australians  a couple of nights ago. They said I spoke alright and I even made some jokes that they picked up on
Well hopefully I can keep improving my spoken english , I don´t know if it will take me too long but I shall keep trying my best.

Post 9: Changes To My Study Programme

Some of the changes  that  I think my carreer should go through,  have to do with making the lessons more interactive. Since I study Law, the clases are sometimes   quite boring and they could be improved  if they were more stimulating. How can this be done? Maybe if we were able to have more experience on the field and see more how a Lawyer really does his job or see them in action in different kinds of  situations. 

The subjects that we have are some of them very tedious. And we rely very much on our capability to memorise not so much on our comprehention. The worst thing about the workload is when we have student strikes and we then have to recupérate in small periods of time many exams and work. We miss vacations and our time at the university is prolonged well into summer, when everybody is relaxing and on holiday.

Sometimes I have so much to read it´s incredibly tiresome, and the exams are nervewrecking. I´m exhausted most of the time.

The buildings are very old and in need of renovations. The furniture is in bad shape, sadly this makes us students feel uncomfertable at times, when the classrooms are small and we are cramped .

Some teachers are noticeably more keen when they pass class, and that is much appreciated. I like teachers who try to get along with the students without them taking sole notice of the students who like to grab the attention. I especially enjoy listening to teachers who are experts in their área.
