English Language Challenges

I really like to learn english so, the experience of this course has been interesting for me. It would be amazing to incorporate more vocabulary and talk more fluid, but, being in the university is a bit complicated to learn in a good way, because a language is a universe, and you must focus on that world to get inmerse of it, and so you can really speak english, and for that, I think is even necessary to be in a country which speaks in english; nevertheless you can acquire a lot of familiarity with english by internet and this kind of instances. The blogs, on the other hand, have been good exercises to improve my drafting and learn on my own some things about grammar and vocabulary, with the help of 'word reference', of course. In addition, to be doing blogs every week has been a little bit exhausting, because it is not easy; but to learn and stay in practice is the good part of the above.
I need to improve a lot of aspects in my english, like my limited vocabulary, above all regarding some words that are used all the time; must be more word sets to express the same. Besides, there are a lot of words, most of them nouns, that you must be in a certain situation to use, and because of that I think it's a good idea to play being in certain contexts, like cooking, or an office, a university class, inter alia.-; one of the only things I have on hand to respond to the above it's to watch series and tv in general in english; try to listen carefully to learn something, and if I don't understand some expression look for it. Besides, I used to read some news in english, apart from advice and information from instagram accounts; ah, and of course listen to music it’s also a good way to get familiar with the language.
The only active use of english for me is reading some texts in other courses of my career; anthropological readings are in english several times. But I am hopeful to learn more in the future, and maybe travel abroad to live the experience of needing the language everywhere.

    I agree with you, although it is a bit tedious to do it every week and the academic load, it was not very pleasant, however, the topics were interesting.

    In the social sciences it helps a lot to know English, many journals and papers are in English. Knowing that language opens a door to learn about new topics.

    You are not the only one, I also found it a bit tedious, despite everything it was a good experience.

    I share the presence of English in the race, many of the anthropology texts are in English and their translations into Spanish are quite bad. Hopefully in the future more texts will also be made in Spanish, but for now forced to learn English XD

    For me it was also somewhat tedious, because my semester was full of other evaluations at the same time. At least I feel like I made a lot of progress.

My career and its Implication

When I had to choose one option between the whole spectrum of pathways, related to careers, it was difficult to me, but I always knew that my area was the humanist topic. Nevertheless, I didn't have too clear the specific option. History was my second option, but Anthropology finally was my first one, and as I could be admitted in the 'University of Chile', I took a risk and accepted, from that time, "my choose fate". For me was one of the most passionate topic the one related to the human being and its cultural sphere, because, in some way, it covers many of the areas I'm interested in, like history, social scientific questions and terms, and even philosophy, in a way. And the cultural aspect it's one of the most interesting ones, in the sense of being so incorporated and naturalized in the people , and probably in the whole different cultures, who do not necessarily realize that it's just a social construct and not a truth in itself, namely, beyond

Southern Highway (CArretera Austral)

If there is a place I really love, and I never get bored visiting it, it's the 'Carretera Austral'. On the one hand, I love that kind of landscape; the abundant forests and that green that surrounds you, the rains, the glaciers and the little towns..that kind of experience I would love to live every day..so, next summer holidays, I wish I could go there. Being there, I would like to visit different kinds of places, and get there in a special way. First of all, go by car with my closest relatives would be amazing; my mom, my brother, my maternal grandparents and aunt..Although, not with the sole purpose of getting there, but traveling without any rush, and, having enough money, stopping and even staying wherever we want; visiting beaches, national parks and/or reserves, like Truful Truful and/or 'Saltos de Petrohue', and maybe some towns or cities like Valdivia, Puerto Montt, among others. Already being on the 'Carretera Austral', I would love to rent a c
