My experience learnig[11] English
HelloWell, my experience in the English language was from 12 years at the school. In this moment I began learning, [12] in 8th grade I had a private class in the afternoons, but I didn’t take it seriously why[13] was very bored to me.In secondary school I don’t [14] had English classes, only French; and my previous learning was forgotten.However the English language ever [15] has been in my life, in the music, in the television, in the text and in my partners to the other sides of the world.Now in the Internet era is very important learn to speak English. I remember in the[16] 2000 came a band from Holland; his name was Cathode and only speaking[17] English. I was whit[18] them in their presentations here, and was[19] very difficult for me to talk whit [110] them.Now in the university, the English language is used for all[111] , but my learning is a little slow. I think that learn fine [112] the language because the class are good and my interest are[113] more than before.In the last time my preoccupation[114] for the language has been superior to the other years, I believe that my motivations are in the [115] following my studies out of my country.I hope when to [116] finish the course whit[117] good notes[118] and also have a greater knowledge of the language, maybe in the day of tomorrow I can visit other countries and win a grant for[119] study, this is my idea in this moment and I can get.Bye!

hello
Well, in this moment of the year in my country are happening more things. But this month is full of contradictions, principle[11] for historical success.Fiestas patrias for me is not important, but is a good moment for[12] share whit[13] my friends and drink chicha (a typical drink made for grapes).The Chilean people in this date enjoy in family, go to the fondas (a typical place whit[14] traditional things), dancing[15] cueca (traditional dance) or cumbia, drink alcohol, and eat much meat. Also some go to the circus and the rodeo.All the houses fly flags (is a law...hahahaha) and the children’s fly a kite.When was[16] a child I remember that my favourite games were spining top and marbles, and we met with the family in the grandmother’s house; my father with my uncle’s fly[17] a kite.My vision is different today, 10 years ago that I am a vegetarian [18] and I do not like to abuse animals, I don’t believe in traditions, and the rodeo and the circus whit[19] animals are horrible for me, however I like seeing people happy on this date and the reunion of families.My best 18 was in 2002, when I went to a party that lasted 3 days!!! All night long hahahaha..Bye.

This is an important day for my country because it is the celebration of the first national government meeting in the year 1810.
In September 18, all Chileans enjoy the national celebration whit [11] “chicha”, “empanadas”, barbecue and they dance the traditional dance that is the “cueca” in the “fonda” or “ramada”.
When I was a girl was[12] playing fly[13] a kite in the park whit[14] my family it was very funny, because all children out[15] of his houses to playing in different thing as spinning top, marbles or fly a kite. Nowadays, I go to the “fonda” in the O’Higgins Park for[16] dance and eat traditional food of Chile.I remember that my September 18 favourite was four years ago whit [17] my two cousins, sister and uncle, we were at the O’Higgins Park in the night for[18] eat “empanadas”, barbecue and dance, this was my favourite September 18 because, this day was the last that I saw at[19] my family complete.
The 18 of September is a special day, because all people think in others things and forget his [110] problems for one day and they only amuse themselves meeting, dancing, conversing, eating and enjoying the national celebration whit[111] all people of the country.

I began to learn English language in my first year of university whit[11] the teacher Simon Higginson, this class is very difficult for me because all classmate have a base in English but I have learned very much in this[12] years.In the beginning of the course I not enjoy [13] to learn the English language because I not [14] understand nothing. I was unsuccessful in the first years to the class of English because it was scaring. I don’t know what kind of learner I am and not find nothing easy about learning English because this language have a structure different from the Spanish language in the logic.I find difficult the form of think in the English language for the communication with other people because the structure to speak is different..I don’t know about English culture but I think that is completely different of[15] my culture because I know some people from the English country and they think of different form.
The English language for me is useful in some occasions as in the university and when I was working of part-time in a restaurant but in my daily life is not useful because my family and the people common [16] not speak English language and this people don’t have opportunity of to learn the English language.
In my opinion the English language is the tool of communication for some countries but is not necessary for all people. The people have his own language and culture and I feel that it is not necessary to press [17] them.

The typical Fiestas patrias means nothing special for[11] me. Because, in Chile doesn't exist or haven’t great traditions. Because, for the common people in the country the Fiestas patrias just means[12] eat and drink a lot for two days, and the reflection or the true mean around this date is unknown for the common people. I think that the bad education it[13] 's guilty for the common people's disinformation about the real mean[14] of the fiestas patrias.Well, for the 18 September [15] Chileans celebrate the first government reunion and this is the base for that Chile can calls itself an independent country. Is[16] for that reason that this date the Chileans celebrate eating and drinking in excess, the typical food of Chile and other countries in sudamerican is the * Asado¨ and *empanadas* or *anticuchos¨ but you can to find [17] this foods in the other countries in the region. And the typical cocktail is the cola de mono and the more popular drink is the Chicha and wine with coke and when you drink in excess this drink you should sick.My best 18 september [18] was the last year, because my girlfriend leave[19] of the country and it was a great fare well.

My name is Sebastian Llantén and I live in ñuñoa. I have 23 years old and alive[11] in Santiago nine year ago and currently[12] I `m studying geography in the university of Chile and it is my last year in my career. Before I lived in Punta Arenas all my childhood and I think that is a great city for a boy, because I could play with the nature and this city is very safely for a kid, [13] moreover I could see wonderful landscape and I could play with snow and skate on ice and is [14] very funny for a little kid. My family is composed[15] for five persons my dad, my mom, my sister, my brother and me. But I live only with my mom and my sister, because my dad live in other place and my brother live with his wife and his little son. My nephew is very young, because he was born two days ago, and I `m very happy because is a beautiful boy and his name is Nicolas. Currently besides of study I `m working in the military geography institute for my professional practice and I think that is very funny[16] because you can read, talk for all building and the people are very friendly.

My experience with learning English has had highs and lows,[11] because in the school I had good performance and I had a good teacher, but I think that I had a very few classes of English. When I sign[12] in university I had a bad experience, because I disapprove[13] the chance in English two and reprove[14] the class, because this time I not liked study English and I not went to all class, but now I like go to class, because my teacher is very motivating and he gives time to explain when I can’t understand in class, the major time I have problems with the vocabulary and my teacher explain of good form. Now, I enjoy with the English class and before I not enjoyed the English class. I think that learning English is not difficult but I feel that me study is very poor because with English I am very lazy. Personally when I find a web page in English I haven’t problems for read in English, but is[15] very difficult for me write or talk in English.
About the English culture, I feel very close because I hear[16] music in English and I have a sister that is English teacher but as the proverb says: “in house blacksmith, wooden knife”.
Finally, I know many people who speak English, for example my sister and me[17] girlfriend speak English. And I think that the learn English is very useful for[18] me, because I can read English text or see web site in English.

Jaime has very interesting ideas. I can always follow what he wants to say even though sometimes he has some spelling mistakes which I believe it has something to do with writing too fast. He has some problems with mixing words but they can be improved. Good job!
Sebastian has some problems with mixing English and Spanish. You can notice this by the way he uses prepositions. However, I can still understanding most of his ideas and you can see he tries to do his best in some activities that are not that interesting for him. Keep working!!
Natalia has improved a lot and it shows in this last post. Maybe she was more committed to this topic or day after day she has improved. I couldn’t find big mistakes and after all, communication is the most important thing of learning a new language. Keep working!! Well done!!
This has been a very good experience. I hope I can help them to improve their English but what I would like more, to make them understand that communication is the main point of learning a new language. After all, we would have our own like to keep learning.
