My Life's English Experience
This is a brief timeline that shows my experiences related to english (My first word, the first academy I went, my foreign experiences...) -
My first english word
My father told me that the first english word I said was "cow". He watched english children series with me and one of the characters was a cow. -
Journey to Disneyland (Orlando, USA)
My parents and I travelled to Orlando to visit its tematic parks. One of those was Disneyland, where I started saying hello, and some short words in english to barely speak in english. -
The first english teached class
My parents (already divorced) must work, so they registered me in a children's english academy. There was when I learned many of the english basic vocabulary. -
My first school's english class
Me and my class started first grade at school, that meant we started doing english classes. That was good to improve my oral skills. -
My first FIAC grade
My mother noticed about my english aptitudes, so she decided me to sign on in an English academy. The first teacher I had was foreigner and I always tried to talk with him and hardly improve my language abilities. -
My first conversation in English
I had my first english conversation with one of my mother friend's girlfriend. She was from Detroit, and she was nice with me during all the time we spent together celebrating the New Years Day. I obviously could talk fluently with her, but with "some mistakes" she agrees. -
Journey to Santa Pod
My father, a american cars lover, purposed me to travel to Santa Pod (England) to watch live Dragster races (the fastest cars in world). I accepted and had one of the best experiences in my life -
English Summer Camp
Just at the end of the third term, in the first days of July, I went to a summer camp located in Sant Quirze de Safaja (Rosa dels Vents). I made friends and practised english, but I didn't enjoyed as much as I would like to. The house where we (my partners and I) all stayed was called "Mas Badó". -
I started practising french
One of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life. I hated the language and I could learn hardly anything. -
Pulp Fiction in English
The first film I watched in English (without subtitles). I can clearly remember it was Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, one of my favourite films. -
Goodbye French!
I decided to left the subject just at the middle of my path to get my title. I didn't like it and it didn't interested me much. -
Boston's Journey.
My first foreign village. I met amazing people, and I started to talk a fluent english. I stayed there for three weeks with the Carrick's family. An inflection point for me, of course. I graduated for my B2 title. -
Florida's Journey
One of the best experiences in my hole life. I stayed there for a month and I obviously improved my english, but also the people I met are now hooked on my mind. The city where I stayed was in Tallahasse (the capitol city) and the people who I stayed with was the Emhof's family. -
American Cinema's experience
During my journey to the USA, my host mother brought me and my host brother to the cinema. We watched Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 5. I could barely understand all the film, but I did. -
First Certificate Course
I started the last of my FIAC's courses, the one that I need to graduate and have my FC title. I'll still be improving english during the next few years though.
