The beginings

On our first post we want to talk about our experiences learning English principally at school. We started English lessons at primary school, at the age of six. We remember that the first we learned was the colours and the numbers. These lessons were funny and dynamics. We improved our English level always playing games in the class. 

When we were growing up these lessons became more difficult and hard. We started to take homework and one or two books in English to read at home. The homework’s exercises were really boring, above all the grammar’s exercises. Another kind of exercises that the teacher introduced us was the listening.  In the listening you have to pay attention to a radio or CD record and answer some questions about this.  It seems easy, but we really had a lot of problems, because the narrator spoke so fast and we didn’t understand it so well.

In every English book there were some pages at all of lessons dedicated to new vocabulary. This vocabulary helped us to express ourselves better.  Learn vocabulary was more entertaining than grammar. All of the new vocabulary was related with the lesson that we were doing, for example transport, how to write a letter, food, sports… For use this vocabulary we often done some interviews to other classmates. The last hardest English lessons that we remembered was the passive voice.
