Learning Hi, My first met English when I was six years old in a religious school. This year we started only doing easy exercises and learning sheets, the next year we didn’t have any class and the third year we began a regular lessons. Now I believe this system with ups and downs was a totally disaster. Nevertheless, I was waiting until my twelve years old to have my first lessons with a Spanish teacher who spoke only in English. Moreover, I didn’t have time to go to Official Language School because I attended others out-of-school activities like solfa, piano, ballet, painting and diving. However, when I was a freshman many teachers told us about the inefficiency have a degree in Administration and Business if we couldn’t speak English. So, this view made me change my behavior about English and for me it was a key moment. In other words, it was when I really met English and started to learn on my own. Hence, at this stage made me think over about if I could start learning English again I would do it absolutely different. I would probably try to include English classes in my out-of-school activities, I would have started watching series and movies in original version with subtitles trying to learn by heart pronunciations and colloquialisms or just enjoy going to a bookshop and checking the English books section, buy some interesting book and not start doing it in my twenties. Unfortunately, I can’t change it. Albeit my close English moment was late I searched opportunities to go to study abroad. Thus, last summer I was in Bournemouth (U.K.), it was an amazing experience and I learned so much from different people from around the world and the British people and culture. Also, I was able to prove my communication skills and improve them. Besides, I obtained a scholarship for an intensive English Course for one week by the International University Menendez Pelayo. Henceforth, I only wish to be able to get better in English every year and keep learning more because languages are endless. See you mates!

Talking about reading Hi mates, I love reading and books are my drug. Unluckily, I don’t have much time as I would like to read. I use to read a few subgenres literary and they are dystopian fiction like Hunger Games series or Tomorrow, When the War Began series and Warm Bodies, supernatural fiction like True Blood series, The Vampire Diaries series, The Secret Circle series, Artemis Fowl series, Harry Potter series, Twilight series and Mystery fiction like The Pretty Little Liars series, The Lying Game series, Flavia DeLuce series and The Eyes of the Dragon. As anyone has noticed I love series books instead of novels with a one singular volume because I like to enjoy the characters as long as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to me movies and TV series are interrelated. In this way, movies or TV series bring me opportunities to discover new books. I usually prefer books beyond screen adaptations because books always have more details and make you understand more the characters and places. Thereby all these stuff help you to appraise and realize more the performances and grasp the plot or read between lines. Thus, I try to read books before watch the screen adaptation. Up to now my favourite writer is Charlaine Harris. She is best known for The Sookie Stackhouse Novels. Reading these novels you can find a whole parallel universe located in Louisiana, but the best part is the quick-witted Sookie, her personality and humorous thoughts are charming. Nowadays this book series contains thirteen novels and eighteen short stories and novellas. I have read eleven of the novels hitherto. Despite of my lack of reading time the last novels are complicated to find in bookshops and the short stories and novellas I have never seen it in Spain. Some people may disagree with me, but as far as I’m concerned this book series is not overuse or the plot has become incoherent. In fact, I’m pretty sure when this book series ended it will be a very sad day to me. Talking about time reading, I love reading at night before going to sleep but when I’m hooked it can be a problem for my sleeping time. For this reason, I think twice before start reading some book. To recap, reading is an amazing activity open for everybody and for all tastes and budgets. So, If you love reading… Enjoy! Best wishes, Noemí.
