MY LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE
I had my first contact with the English language since I was little,
listened at home because my dad a few words uttered or wrote some errands for
my mom in English. Since then I began to get attention and was curious to know
what they meant all that code words.
When I entered high school I was excited because I was going to learn
English. There I had my first contact with grammar, and we began to see the
Word Tobe and vocabulary words. As I was interested in this language, it was
hard not to learn, on the contrary, it became very easy.
Upon entering high school, it was not the same as teaching English, and
did not follow a sequence or with high school, and we relied solely on the
textbook answer. There were new issues but not explained the teacher; each of
us had to answer the exercises as we understood. This discouraged me somehow
and I took interest in English, thus not having a good sequence and teaching,
was disoriented, did not understand the issues and that frustrated me.
Upon entering the degree, I began to take interest again to learn
English and I wanted to start from zero level to carry a sequence. In the first
six months were going well, although hindered me some issues, we answered the
exercises and the teacher explained to us very well. But after they joined with
other more advanced comrades and wanted us to bring the same level because they
assumed we had the same knowledge, but it was not. The teacher's advocacy
desperate and more to those who already knew more, while others despaired us because
we did not understand most of the issues and that discouraged us.
