I think the blog became something that I enjoyed doing. Many times it was like "oh, I have to do the blog" but when I sat down to think about the words that I was going to use, I felt that I was learning about the freedom of being able to express things that I really liked.
When I read in English I am able to differentiate most of the ideas, it is very intuitive for me to recognize verb tenses and grammar rules, but when I listen to people speak in English I am quite unable to recognize the thread of ideas. When I have to write I need to help myself a little vocabulary, and when I speak in English I also feel that lack of vocabulary but I am also very capable of making my ideas understood. Maybe I would like to improve listening, which is a fundamental part of learning a language.
With my friends we watch generally English-speaking series and we like to play talking like in the series, and imitate their accents and words. I think it is a great exercise to practice English in everyday ways. There are also things that I feel are better defined in English than in Spanish, words, feelings, ideas, which in Spanish do not have the same connotation as in English. I like to learn those words.
