Hola, mi nombre es Andres Sebastian Cruz Delgado.
ReplyDelete1) En primera medida escuche una canciĆ³n de Drake, donde saquĆ© una calificaciĆ³n buena, ya que era una canciĆ³n relativamente fĆ”cil, seguidas de otras dos que fueron mĆ”s duras y me fue un poco regular en esas.
2) Uno de mis principales problemas por asĆ decirlo, es que aprendo las palabras solo por el momento, no busco como tal el contexto y eso me afecta, por ende tratarĆ© de buscar el contexto que rodea a las palabras para mejorar mi vocabulario. Mi segunda estrategia serĆa ponerme metas, poco a poco ir avanzando en estas y asĆ hasta cumplirlas. Mi tercer estrategia es no rendirme en el aprendizaje, cada vez que no logro entender algo me rindo, mi objetivo serĆ” no rendirme y asĆ cumplir la misiĆ³n. Para mi cuarta estrategia es poder ver una pelĆcula o poder escuchar canciones al final de este curso, asĆ me motivare mĆ”s y para mi quinto objetivo serĆ” poder leer un fragmento de algĆŗn documento que estĆ© en inglĆ©s, ya que el inglĆ©s para mi carrera es muy importante.
3) En este sitio ingrese a la prĆ”ctica de gramĆ”tica en lĆnea, lo mĆ”s difĆcil que se me hace es la relaciĆ³n de los tiempos y como hacer para no confundir cada uno de estos.
4) Mire uno de los videos que aparecen en la pagina y me di cuenta que si necesito mejorar mi comprensiĆ³n, ya que se me dificultan muchas palabras.
5) El fragmento de la serie que quise elegir fue the big bang theory, me parece que sĆ es un inglĆ©s algo avanzado que se necesita para la comprensiĆ³n de esta misma serie, pero al poner este episodio en una velocidad considerable es mucho mĆ”s fĆ”cil de entender y mĆ”s comprensible.
6) Me enfoque en la actividad de escucha de un minuto
7) Escuche la āHistoria de Abdulā

2-I have some ways to learn English, some of them are for example:
Put my telephone and computer in English so I can learn new vocabulary
Speak with some friend in English so I can improve my speaking and hearing
Listen to music in English so I can improve my rhythm when Iām reading and speaking
Watch movies in English
Play some interactive games in which I organize some words to create a whole phrase
3-Some of the topics that I found really hard to understand are for example relative clauses (Iām learning them) and some verbs that the meaning is extracted from the context and not from the real meaning.

4- I watched a video about the pronunciation of the letter āoā and āuā, something like that. My listening was actually very good and my pronunciation as well.
5- https://youtu.be/MMmOLN5zBLY?si=Ht2mgPmCedfjpHPd
This video talks about some benefits of learning a new language, not only for the brain, but also for the social path. I learned that the more we learn languages the more we develop a capacity to solve daily problems.
6- I reviewed the page of famous people and I did the activities of Angelina Jolie. I really enjoyed her biography because I didnāt know that information about her.
7- I read the three little pigs and the somewhat bad wolf. This story talks about three little pigs who built their own houses to live there, but suddenly, a wolf came to the town and he was searching something to eat, so he smelled donuts, but the shop was closed, then he smelled hot dogs but it was close as well, and when he thinked that he had finally find somewhere to eat PUM it was close as well.

Hello everyone! Iām VĆctor Manuel Zuluaga GĆ³mez, and today I want to share a bit about my experiences and strategies for learning English, some of my difficulties, and how I try to improve every day. Letās explore together:
ReplyDelete1. What kind of music motivates me while learning English? š¶
I love music salsa, reggaeton, pop, rock, rap, and occasionally, a bit of classical music. Although I donāt have just one favorite genre, I like switching between different styles depending on my mood. Music in English, especially rock and pop, helps me stay focused while studying or practicing my pronunciation!
2. Strategies I use to learn English š±
To improve my English, Iāve incorporated several strategies that have helped me progress:
I set my devices to English: Changing the language on my phone and computer is a way to be surrounded by new vocabulary and get familiar with it throughout the day.
Conversing in English with friends: Practicing with friends allows me to improve my fluency and listening comprehension in real-life situations.
Listening to music and watching movies/TV shows in English: I love watching movies or TV shows in English because not only do I practice listening, but I also learn useful phrases and get familiar with different accents.
Interactive word games: I use apps and games that let me organize words into sentences, making learning much more fun and dynamic!
3. Topics that are tough, but not impossible to learn! š¤
Although Iāve improved a lot, there are still topics that are tricky for me. Relative clauses and some verbs whose meaning depends on the context still cause me some doubts. Sometimes, I also struggle to differentiate conversations in different tenses or know when itās appropriate to use formal or informal language. Itās a challenge, but Iām committed to keep practicing and learning!
4. A helpful video for improving my pronunciation and listening skills š¹
Recently, I watched a video about the pronunciation of the letters "o" and "u" in English. I was surprised at how helpful it was! Not only did it improve my listening skills, but it also helped me refine my pronunciation. I felt more confident speaking in English after this exercise.
5. Learning a language: More than a skill, a way of seeing the world š
One of the most interesting videos I watched was about the benefits of learning a new language. Itās not just good for your brain! Learning English (and other languages) also strengthens our ability to solve daily problems and allows us to connect with more people around the world. Itās like having a superpower! 6. A famous personās story ā Amy Winehouse š:
Amy Winehouse, an English singer known for her unique voice, rose to fame with her debut album Frank in 2003. Despite battling addiction, she achieved international recognition with her second album Back To Black. Amy was widely praised for her talent, but her struggles were also heavily covered by the media. She passed away in 2011 at the age of 27, leaving behind a lasting musical legacy.
7. A story I read šŗ:
I enjoyed reading āThe Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf,ā a fun twist on the classic tale that made me think about how people are often misunderstood based on first impressions. And that's all for my little exploration. Learning English can be difficult, but it is also an incredibly rewarding journey! Thanks to all these strategies and activities, I feel like I am making progress every day. I hope you liked it and we invite you to share your own experiences too! š

2.aVocabulary: I usually write down in an agenda, the word whose definition I do not know and I practice this to enjoy and improve my vocabulary.
2. grammar: English grammar is difficult. So, to learn this, I speak in English with classmates and that teaches me how to structure the word so that they can understand me.

7. I read the memories of a hamster because I found it very interesting to read about this topic for personal things
Hi my name is Maria Elisa Botero Jaramillo 1)The activity in general is fun and very important to learn in different ways. I like Selena Gomez's songs, one of which I practiced is called We Don't Talk Anymore at a beginner level 2)This session is divided like this:
ReplyDeleteVocabulary: I will put into practice placing the meaning of unknown words and studying them creatively to make it easier to memorize them.
Grammar: will look for different resources to learn the grammar rules self-taught and put them to use in different examples and know what type of mistakes I make to go into more depth about it
Listening:I will practice listening to songs that you can tell me a story with a wide vocabulary that I can associate with various grammatical rules, also emphasizing the pronunciation.
reading:I will slowly practice reading because it is one of the things that is most difficult for me, using methods of children's stories that are quick to understand.
speaking:To practice it, it is good to start conversations with natives or people who have a lot of knowledge of the language and can give me good advice
wrinting:Try to create a habit of putting into practice writing in English as a hobby to be able to open up about it with other native people and immerse yourself in it as if it were a personal diary.
3)What is hardest for me in grammar is differentiating the tenses with which auxiliaries should be used, whether will, has, etc.
4)The basic level videos in which I was able to perform gratifyingly in listening and speaking, the intermediate level videos cost me a little more to understand but I was able to do them in a concise and clear way
5)I watched an episode of James Corden which showed that Anya Taylor, how could she cry so easily, how she is such a good actress and implements learnings in her daily life, she spent her time crying pleasantly so much that her friends or husband didn't know if it was real or acted .
6)The audio I heard is that they talked about chocolate in the listening a minute session. It went well for me, I was able to understand the listening. It is difficult for me. It is the vocabulary that is something that I have to continue practicing.
7)I read the book every day by David Lethian, I think it is a book that is manageable to read, it does not have a lot of unknown vocabulary and it can be handled, it did not cost me that much to understand the first part.
Hey! My name is Andres.
ReplyDelete1. My favorite musical genre is trap in Spanish and Vallenato, but I have some songs in English on my playlist. In this case I did the activity with a song called "First class", where I got 31/31 correct with 10 mistakes, on an orange difficulty level.
2. In the learning strategies I chose some that I already use and therefore like and other new ones.
-I like creating sentences with the words I study because I can use it in any context, whether speaking on any social network, or when talking in a funny way with a friend.
- Be attentive to the rules and not wait for someone to explain it to me, but rather have more independent study regarding doubts and not wait for class or counseling time.
-Be patient when learning grammar rules and so on, since previously I have always gotten frustrated and therefore I have stopped studying.
-Help me with music in English, since I am a very additive person, so by implementing this strategy I might not get frustrated so quickly and learning would not become so monotonous.
- Read text with many images, this strategy seems very interesting to me since seeing the meaning or action of a sentence or anything with an image illustrates things better, and personally I am a person with a photographic memory therefore I could remember better from images.
- Writing short paragraphs in English about things that I like seems like a very good strategy to me as well.
3. It seems to me to be the most complete of all, since it has all kinds of activities and topics with didactic activities to apply the learning of the specific topic studied in each section. In particular I was "Read On" and "Cram up".
4. In this part I watched a video called "Days of the Week" where I understood more or less what they were saying and I managed to understand the general idea of āāthe video.
5. On this page I entered the TEDx talks section where I saw a video called "Seven Sides of Shakespeare | Shamrock McShane | TEDxGainesville" where I understood very little of the person's pronunciation, but with the transcription I managed to understand a little what he was saying .
6. I entered the laboratory called "ELLO" where I entered the levels and saw the learning possibilities for level number two and I downloaded the book where I saw that it is very good and also takes into account one of the learning strategies of part number two, which is the use of images to solve questions and so on.
7. Here I did the "Hobbies" activity since I found it the most interesting
