“And so it is”, says a Damien Rice song. “This
is the end”, says The Doors’ famous song. “And in the end, the love you take is
equal to the love you make” says the famous mantra from one of The Beatles’
most unknown songs. And this is the end.
This is my last post in this blog (or I hope so),
finishing one semester of learning English in two sessions every week, and I
think there were the most useful way to
improve my English level since I studied at Norteamericano Institute, two years
ago. At this time, you won’t study for example past simple, past participle and
all that kind of stuff, but you'll obviously learn much more about the two most
important things that I think you should learn in order to, for example, know
how you can’t get lost when you go to a foreign country, or if you have a
better level, to keep a conversation with a English native speaker. These two
things are to learn new words to improve your vocabulary, and to pronounce them
rightly (The highest satisfaction for an English teacher is that he can make
that their students stop speaking English like Tarzan).
I really appreciated the Blogging experience,
since I could learn much more than other kind of teaching methods about how
English is being used currently, and obviously, to explain own ideas about
the large amount of topics that I had to write about.
But in my case, I probably won’t make the
teacher’s satisfaction real, because I still speak like Tarzan, less since I
started the lessons obviously (I can’t deny that I haven’t been the best
student, I forgot a very large amount of homework and I'm still asking for mercy and clemency),
but I think that I still have some hope to talk more fluently in English. My
passion is music, and I love English music, from Bob Dylan to Pink Floyd, and I
don’t have many problems to play and sing songs in English trying to imitate the
original accent from the artists, so by that way I think I would divorce
definitively from Tarzan, to sing more appropriately, and the main objective,
to be a better English speaker.
That’s all. Thank you very much, Merci Beaucoup. It has been a pleasure. See you next time :D
music is a good way to improve the english, i think since I start to listen more music I was more interested about the english. and as i could see the majority of us have to improve the pronunciation, hope you can do that
ResponderEliminarI hope you left the tarzan way, as you call it, only with practice. The music, as you tell, is a excelent way to get used to the pronunciation, that's the way i use, along with watching movies with subs.
