English is probably one of the most spoken languages in the world, and the advantages of speaking it are endless. That is why learning a new language, whatever it is, is very important, it opens a whole lot of doors and opportunities.
I started to study English when I was about 8 years old, and then a year after I started having English classes at school. Truth is I've never really had a major difficulty learning this language. And now at university I feel more relaxed in classes, mostly because there is not that many people at the classroom and the Professor is very talented and caring. The addition of technology in the process of learning has been very useful as well. Blogs, videos, songs and many more activities that take place in the classroom have help and made easier the understanding of a new language.
I've always found it hard to remember the grammatical rules. Usually when I write or read something and spot a mistake I don't normally notice it for being wrong by grammar, but because it looks weird or it sounds wrong at how I'm used to hear or read it. I sometimes can get very british when I speak, but if I don't do it out loud for a while I tend to lose the accent and then instead get a very unpleasant accent. I guess I can try to learn the language rules and practice a bit more the accent.
Outside the class I use the English pretty much everyday. When I get home, I tend to speak to myself in English just to practice my pronunciation. I watch videos on Youtube of people that speak it. And everytime that I can I watch movies without the subtitles, but that is only when I am alone, otherwise my parents wouldn't understand a thing.
