Learning English: my experience.

Well my experience learning English was when I went to the kindergarten called wendolin this time was the first that I began to learn English in this period I was 3 years old and I can’t remember who was my first teacher.

In my opinion the first time that I learned English really was when I won a grant sponsored by the ministry of education and then I really learned English in an institute called I.L.S that mean international language service this happened when I was nine years old, I remember a lot of teachers but specially Mr. John Penhollow with him I learned the base of my current English.

In the beginning I like a lot to learn English because always I had a special talent to learn other languages in the school this subjects was the better mark like an A+ in Chile a 7 but when the English course was more difficult I had serious problems to made compatible the primary and secondary with the English course an for this simple reason I began to hate the English, till I finished the English course this happen when I was fourteen years old.

I like to learn with a teacher and practicing whit my classmates but when I learned better is when I listen English music and especially when I played pc games in English with subtitles, so I can say that I am a cyber learner.

I think that is difficult understand the different accents of the English speakers, in this moment the only person that that speak in English is my teacher Simon, in my case English is very useful because there are a lot of texts, books, games, TV series, works, papers that are in English and the only solution is speak English and for this in my opinion English is fundamental.
