blog 8

 English at university hasn't been as terrible as I thought, although of course everything is easier behind a screen, I can't imagine writing in a blog without a dictionary next to me and a list of verbs, although having to write two blogs every two weeks has helped me to be able to loosen my hand a bit to write I still have a long way to go to be able to do it fluently without a draft in Spanish first.

I have to say that English has always been a stumbling block for me, even though all my elementary and middle school education has had an English course I never managed to learn more than the verb "to be" and numbers.

Definitely what I need to improve in my English is speaking, I just can't do it, I can understand 50-60% of what they tell me, I can understand 80% of what I read if I'm concentrated, and writing even if it takes me a while, ¿but speaking it.?.. it's impossible for me, I'll be speechless when it's my turn to speak and my mind will be blank, besides I can't speak well in Spanish, why would it be easier to do it in another language? (pd: dyslexia doesn't help either)

regarding my use of english outside of class i think i don't use it much, well when i listen to music and sometimes i talk to people from other countries in english but our conversations don't last long.
