My experience with English has been interesting. I’ve spoken Spanish for the past 10 years as my primary language, due to the fact I was living in Mexico. I was taught how to speak English rather than how to read and write in a more complex way. I was a bit nervous starting this class because I thought I would be lacking in some way on successfully expressing myself, especially in the language I hadn’t really used for a while.

I understand that I can’t expect myself to learn everything in a short amount of time, more so because most of my studies were in another language. I did better than I expected I would in this class and I’m very proud myself. I expect English to be an important part of my life, even though I’m planning to study my major in another
