Hi, Mi name is Valentina Serna
ReplyDelete1- I really enjoyed learning from song lyrics. My favorite music is K-pop. I listened to the song "Born Again" by Lisa from Blackpink.
2-My five strategies:
1. Learn a new sentence every day.
2. Sing a song in English, focusing on clear and fluent pronunciation.
3. Watch TV series I enjoy dubbed in English.
4. Try different methods to keep my interest alive and maintain my enthusiasm.
5. Practice my pronunciation with the Natural Readers tool; I used it in the first level and it helped me a lot.
3- I visited the grammar exercises website. I liked the matching pairs game; it helped me associate English words with simple illustrations. If I didn't know the English word at the time, I would stop the game and look it up, writing it down to help me remember it.
4- I visited the Listen a Minute website and explored the page. At first, I didn't understand how it worked. Then I clicked on a link, and it was quite simple: it was an audio recording with text. At first, I tried to follow the rhythm, but it went terribly wrong. I kept trying, and it doesn't leave me hanging as much anymore. However, I must continue trying until I achieve a better level and higher quality.
5- I chose the Loora tool, I record myself speaking in English, consciously enunciating the words, without rushing or making things up, I compare it with phrases that I put in Natural Read, and in that way I try to polish my pronunciation.
6- I chose the ESL Video Lessons tool, which directed me to several activities, and I chose the one about describing images; it was quite challenging.
7- I chose the StoryNory tool, there I read and listened to the story of the fox princess; it caught my attention because of the beautiful illustrations.
8-Since completing the first level of English, I've really enjoyed Natural Read. We often encounter very superficial interpreters, which personally hinders my learning. However, in Natural Read, being able to choose my avatar and use a more expressive voice sparks more interest and gives me the confidence to participate or try things without fear of being judged, but with the assurance that my teachers will correct me in the best way possible.
