    Day I have born
    During mi first years of life until I had seven years I didn't learned anything in english. I didn't heard a single word in english, because my parents always talk in spanish. They didn't know anything in english, but they teach me my first language, the spanish.
  • Started studiying in elementary school

    Started studiying in elementary school
    It was in elementary school were I first heard the English. We had English clases at school but Ididn't understand a thing. This indicates that I had been a sequential childhood bilingualism. I learned first the Spanish at home and then the English.
    In the other hand I already knew some things in Spanish but now I was learning how to write it.
  • Middle school

    During these years I was studiying at midle school. What I have learned there about the english language was very little. I didn't understand my teachers because I didn't know the englis so well, because at the elemntal school I learned just a little of english. Also the teacher give us very boring clases and we didn't pay attention to them. The teachers didn,t care if we learned the english or not and sometimes they send us to the yard and gave no clases to us.
  • High school

    High school
    I started my high school at 1980 until 1983. Here I already knew a little bit of english because of what I have learned before. I knew some words but I didn't understand the teachers yet. For that reason I didn't like the english class.
  • At college

    At college
    Then at the university what I have learned was very little and it was very hard for me to pass the english clases.
  • Now

    Now
    Now I have many gaps on the language and I didn't master it so well. This is because I have a bad pronunciation and can't understand it so well, therefore I didn't like it.
