Learning English My first interaction with English was in the high school. Before of that, I had never thougth about English. Of course, I had seen movies and heard songs, but I read the subtitles and hummed pop music. At the school, I had serious difficulties to study this language. So, my parents thougth thah I needed a tutor. Therfore, I met Louise, a English teacher who was friend of my mom. She helped and taugth me a lot, but, chiefly she prompted my curio and interest to learn English culture. Loiuse´s daugther, Sara, became a friend of mine; both of them were a influence positive in my life and studies, because both of them talked English and rehearsed this language daily in their quotidian conversations. This was at the 90'. In 1994 a took my first English conversational course with a teacher called Raymond. Then, I studied at Carabobo University Foundation, where I learned some aspects about English grammar; in this institution a I took and completed the basic conversational course during a year. Later, I took an avanced conversational course in the same place, it was in 1996 or 1997. At the university, when I was finishing my master's degree, I took an instrumental English course. I have never applied any language proficiency test, I think that if I should do it, the results would be at intermediate levels, because I feel that I need a lot of practice and more vocabulary. Now, I have discovered Italki and I think that is a great opportunity to resume my English language practice, especially at the time of reading, speaking, hearing and writing in the Shakespeare´s language.
