Arantxa's final post

Hi everyone!

After the Easter holidays, here we are again, starting the last period of this course. And I haven’t forgotten to do my last post for the blog. So...here it is.

I feel that this course has helped me to refresh my English and to improve it a little bit more. I also think, like some colleagues, that it would have been better if it had different levels. Anyway, I think it was as good as it can be. In my opinion it was a good idea to start warming up with entretaining exercises, to put into practice vocabulary and to speak, helping to get rid of the usual embarrassment. It was always an effort for me to start the class, and these exercises helped me.

Moreover, it has been interesting to work on our grammar through the Internet and with the Wiki.

I think proposing exercises about different topics each week is a good way to learn vocabulary from different aspects of life. However, sometimes there were too many exercises, and I couldn’t to do all of them. Also, in some occasions, we almost didn’t work about these topics in the next class.

In general, I enjoyed working in small groups, and the role-playing exercises that we have done sometimes. It was indeed a very dynamic course. I still keep on being a little bit blocked when I start speaking English, or when I try to understand every single word that someone is telling me. But I hope that with a bit more practise, and a bit less fear, I will improve my level in the next few months. But I need to persist, of course!

Thank you for everything, to my colleagues and to David.
