Topic: What about english challenges...?

Hi and welcome!... today we are going to be posting about certain difficulties we face when learning english at university :).

I think that english has always been present in our environment, either as a spanishization or the chileanization of some words, such as cachai, which from what I understand is a more chileanized way of saying catch, an English word that has a meaning similar to cachai. For the same reason I find it funny and incredible that verios languages can be mixed in one, another example would be the word pillow that comes from the arabic word mijadda, or the word cahuín that, coming from the mapuzungun, means meeting or grouping. It is amazing the way in which the language is changing, mixing and adapting to the various forms of communication between people in the same locality, region, commune, country, area, etc.

Now, when it comes to learning this language, English, at university, I can say that it has been quite pleasant. English always cost me when I was in elementary school, and once in middle school I was able to have more facilities to understand it better, that is why entering university I always considered continuing to learn about this language. I strongly believe that languages are rich historical and identity sources, which is why they are extremely important to me, and, indisputably, also forms of communication.

At the same time, the fact that we have been able to learn through blogs, and thus expressing our thinking about various topics, has been a great tool that has also greatly strengthened how we cope with it. 

For this reason, something in which I must improve is in the use of the well-known acronyms and slangs that play a fundamental role in our daily lives and in the ways of expressing ourselves. The same way in the correct use of the ed or ing at the end of certain words that depend on the time of the sentence. It is also thanks to the above that I have dedicated myself to speaking in English, even if it goes wrong, with myself, trying to create coherent sentences in conversations that are not so zkljdna (it is a laugh hehe).

...

So now, what do you consider important about your experience in english at university?... I also have another question, what other mixtures do you know that are presented between different languages?

I hope you are having a good closing of the semester... you are cracks, you can do anything you propose : )!

Topic: The best holidays ever OR the best concert ever... Hi :)... As you can see, we are going to talk about the best holidays or concerts ever! In my case, I have only been to one concert in my entire life, so I am going to talk about that moment, besides, thinking about THE best holidays of my life is a bit complicated hehe... Now... the concert. Well, this was almost two years ago. My friends and I quite like Shawn Mendes, so we were waiting for him to come to Chile when he announced his Latin American tour. Well, that was fulfilled so my friends bought tickets to go. I did not because since I did not have the money, I did not feel any interest in going to the concert. Do not get me wrong, it was super cool that he was coming to Chile, but it was not essential that I see him. Well, Shawn Mendes is a Canadian songwriter and singer. He is known thanks to the former Vine App, where he uploaded videos singing and showing his talent with his voice and other instruments such as guitar an...

Topic: Changes to my study programme... Hello and welcome :)... as you can see, we have to reflect on our academic future and, also, if we would change something about it. This year I started studying Social Work and one of my subjects is about research, in fact, right now we are in the middle of a research project. I particularly find this subject too difficult, especially because, as we are just freshmen, it is a resource that in my opinion we should see later, close to the thesis and the end of the degree. Even so, I consider that it is a very important tool for the profession I am studying, only that I would have liked to see it for the "first time" and having more experience in this area, or at least with more time and, therefore, with a broader induction :). I consider that the curriculum in general is very good, and it provides me with good training for what I would like to work on in the future, which is what the previous blogs were about jeje. Something main would al...
