My relationship with english

It is clear that English opens many doors for you, it is the language used as a universal key to communicate in the world.

When I was a child I got good grades in English class, but the only thing I knew was what they taught me at school. I didn't put the language to the test either, at home my mom has always listened to music in Spanish, my dad likes rock, but I didn't spend much time with him when I was a kid.

Then in high school I moved to a school where the level of English was higher and it was difficult to adapt to that level, since all my classmates spoke that language very well. I remember the teacher came in speaking and laughing in English and everyone in the room laughed with her while I just listened without understanding jajajs. However, that never made me feel bad, I had to try to reach the level of my peers. I never reached them jsjds, but of course I improved, I also became good friends with the teacher, we got along very well, I joked about my English and she laughed, several times she offered me to improve a grade, but i refused to it jaja, sometimes it happen to see her and we talked for a time. Being in that school helped me a lot to improve my English, my friends know the language, so from time to time we spoke in English and when I didn't know something I asked them.

After school I moved quite a bit away from spoken English, at university I had English, however the pandemic arrived, which meant we didn't speak to anyone, so music was my only approach to the language, until now that we returned the normallity. In this sense, blogs have been useful, they make us think about our own tastes and experiences and think and express them in English, which is very practical.

Now I could say that my level of English is good, I like to speak English from time to time or mix English with Spanish, I have also had some opportunities to speak it with native speakers and I understand them and I manage to make myself understood. I think that is the main idea, although obviously the ideal is to talk english as if we had always done it, but to reach that level I think that the best way, if not the only way, is to go to a country where it is spoken the language we want to learn, since you are obliged to communicate.
