Difficulties and strategies to learn English

When one studies another language such as English, there are several difficulties. For me, one of the biggest is having to learn a new vocabulary completely, this includes both learning and saying the objects, and learning the connectors and the different verbs of the language. Another way to learn the language is to know how to arrange the words to form a sentence, in other words, to learn the grammar of the language. Another difficulty that I am going to say is that of having to learn how to pronounce words correctly, that is to say saber as much as the letters are pronounced as to learn where and how to mark the accents. This is due to a large amount of time. One of the last difficulties that can be had is the ability to speak and write spontaneously in the language. Undoubtedly, it is one of the biggest difficulties in the language, since as our brain is used to thinking and speaking in Spanish, getting used to speaking another language is not easy. To improve in these difficulties, to finish saying, I think it is one of the first steps to do is to listen enough to the language, in such a way that the child gets used to it. I also think it is very important to try to think in English, since if we are able to think in English, we will also be able to speak it. At least to me, the latter has been what has helped me the most to learn to express myself in the language.

Changes that I would like to the study program

I think that Chilean education has to improve in several areas. One of these is the time of entry, both for schools and universities. I think the entrance time should be at least 10:00 AM, since it seems to me that being at 8:30 AM is definitely a serious mistake. On the one hand at that time most of us are not in good conditions to learn, due to the fatigue. On the other hand, there are many students who live far from the university, and are forced to get up very early. This, in my opinion, hurts them a lot, given that both the long trip they have to make and the sleep caused by getting up early wears them down, causing them to have less energy to learn. Another of the changes that would make, is to prioritize the understanding of the subject by learning things from memory. This is because there are often subjects where memory is more important than the understanding of the subject. This means that many times the learned material is easily forgotten after having the evaluations. Finally one of the last changes that would be made to force the student to do work with unknown people. This I think is important because when we are professionals, we can not choose who to work with, so we will have to develop skills to work with unknown people. I hope that in the future the changes that I have mentioned can be applied, however I doubt enough that it is possible.
