I’ll start
by saying that English has been a really important language in my life, mainly
because of the way that information is presented nowadays. Things like movies,
television, internet articles and even printed propaganda had made my brain to
understand English as if was native to Chile. With that been said, I’ve also
noticed how easy is to forget some aspects of the language when you don’t use
it as a way to express yourself. You become insecure about your knowledge, the
pronunciation starts to become more difficult, and thinking in English is way
less instinctive.
Because of
this problems I’ve figured that my main English challenge will be to keep using
it in places like the university or at home. I’m especially interested in
learning how different concepts or elements used in architecture are expressed
in English. I’m also kind of worried that the English classes provided by the
university don’t even touch architecture, or the other careers, so it feels
kind of shallow or useless as a direct tool for the students.
I think
that the best way to learn English is by talking to native speakers. That’s why
I’m planning to attend many seminars where I can listen to people talking about
architecture. This will not only improve my knowledge in new words, but also
for learning how to articulate phrases using very elemental and specific
concepts.
As a review of the course I’d say that it was
very useful for feeling secure with my knowledge again, but I would have loved
to learn how to use English in my field. But anyway liked, faved, 11/10 and god
bless.
I can't imagine how could be architecture concepts be translate... they are alredy pretty confuse in espanish
ResponderEliminarI think that is interesting the theme of learning english with a focus on the architecture, also reading articles or book related to this we could improve a lot on our academic english dialect
ResponderEliminarWe should have more than four english courses in the whole career, maybe the firsts can be general english and then more specific, related to architecture, because is a great tool.
ResponderEliminarYou speak really as an English native, I was surprise of your knowledge at the beginning, so just keep improving!
