When someone from a different country arrives in a very different place, with new cultures and languages, not knowing how to communicate. When I was eight years old, I arrived in the United States, a country that has helped me with many things but has also been very difficult.I have been in the United States for nine years and I still have trouble pronouncing some words like “taught,” “literally,” and “through.”
I was surprised to see how many years I have been in Austin, Texas. I have realized that even though all these years I have realized that you can learn English, but new words always come out. I understand people who have just reached this step. I know it is not easy, but rest assured that as long as you practice, as long as you do not stop trying, you will learn very quickly. I am not saying that you will become an expert because you cannot be an expert in any language, but what will help you is to understand.
In the nine years that I have been in the United States, I have realized that in order to learn a new language, you have to practice, such as watching movies, listening to music, talking to your friends, and writing in English. You will find that when you try to understand English, it will be a growing pleasure and you will feel more in control because you can use a language, a series of words and sounds that you were completely unaware of before, to communicate.
Even something as simple as learning to express a feeling or a statement in another language makes you feel powerful. There are many reasons to learn English, but one of the most enjoyable is the freedom to communicate and understand a different language. Learning a new language has many professional and social benefits, but none can compare to gaining a new tool for communicating.
I feel that some teachers try to make sure that students can understand and learn in time. I think that some of the best teachers that can help you a lot are English teachers. They can help you, for example, with all your work in Spanish and English. For any topic that you don’t understand, you can see what it is in Spanish.
For me, learning English was a bit difficult, but what helped me a lot was speaking to the teacher in English. Also, when they give you work in English and Spanish, it helps a lot so you can try to translate the words you know. You can also practice your pronunciation, for example in shops when you need help, with your friends, with teachers, or you can also watch movies in English and replace them in Spanish to help with learning. I hope this helps you as much as it did me.
