English Language Challenges

 

Well, I had (and have) two courses of English in the university, the first one I didn’t like it so much because it was… like… disconnected. Maybe because it was only online or...I don’t really know. The second, that I’m currently coursing, have its face to face classes and that made it a lot of more entertaining. With this courses I have remember some things that I forgotten and new things.

The use of blog is fine, its help to practice our spelling and writing.

I believe that what I have to improve is my knowledge in basic things (because I really forget that kind of stuff), and my writing and pronunciation. For that I have not other option that write and speak in English more. I like poetry and lately I have written some things in English because the tone and feeling is different that the Spanish one.

I actually use English a lot. Like sometimes I don’t  find movies or series with Spanish subtitles so I view them with English subtitles. Or something that happens to me a lot, is that the books I like don’t  have a Spanish version, so I read the original, in English. Another thing that I do daily is check social media, and a lot of things there is in English. So that too.

So that is, here is my favorites books that doesn’t  have a Spanish version.

    It is great to be able to read and understand English. Surely, reading your favorite books in the original language of publication must be very rewarding:D

    That's true about poetry. I have a bilingual book by Walt Whitman, and I feel that the emotions in Spanish and English are different.

    it has happened to me that I can't find books/novels translated into Spanish and I end up reading them in English! it helps a lot to become familiar with the language and learn in a more enjoyable way.

A meal that I really like

Imagen
  The one that I can´t resist is: Sushi. A cold dish from Japan.   Originally, is made with rice, seaweed, raw fish, and cream cheese. The ingredients can be varied and can change a lot, for example my family make them special, with vegan cream cheese, vegetables, and fruits of all kinds.   And not meat. For me at least. The process to make them is easier that it seems, you just cook the rice, marinate it with vinegar, put it in a mat of bamboo, add the seaweed and your favorites ingredients, finally you roll up and then cut. What I really like from this meal, is that is bittersweet, and you can eat it with a lot of sauces. But that last part can be a little tricky for the health because the sauces can be high in salt and sugar, so sushi isn´t too healthy, even without the sauces. Is composed principally with rice, and doesn´t let the other ingredients to cope the body.

Time travel

  If we, as humans, could travel in time, there would be a lot of options, and places and different contexts. Time were we didn’t exist… I probably would be overwhelmed, but. The very first thing that I would do if the time travel exist, is to travel to the past. Reallyyyyyyy long ago. Like. When the universe was created. I’m a little obsessed with the origins of things, so the beginning of all will be my fist destination. The second, and in the same line. I would like to observe how was the Homo sapiens evolution. Find the missing links. And that would be enough for my little primate brain. I obviously wouldn’t   stay in any era. I would like to return to my time and explain what I learn (If my brain understood anyways). To the future, I believe that I would like to see very faraway too. If the life remains. In our planet or others that were create. To see if everything is cyclical, or we are just an accident in the kingdom of nothing. I believe that time travel would be a

Photo and its story

Imagen
 This picture means a lot to me, because it shows my now dead great-grandmother and grandmother very happy, and also my aunt, uncle and mother when they looked very young.  I like pictures when people who I love and care are young and free. It puts meaning to their life now, specially because we only know a little peace of their life and is hard to imagine them when their were kids, and just life their life without us.  I find it interesting too.  I don’t really know the story behind, I believe that not even my family remember when it was toked. They said that it was summer, and that they were enjoying summer. But the history behind the why it end in my hands is a little more sad and beautiful.  The day that my grandmother (the one in the picture) die, the last words that she said to me was that I have to take care of hers pictures. And that is what I do now. Take care of memories. Take care of the past.
