Week 11: September 21th to 27th.

My favorite resources to learn English.

On this entry, I would like to tell you what are my favorite tools to learn Englis, how do I use it, and I may include some apps to give better examples of what I do.

1. Music

Definitely, this is the most common way to learn English, especially when you really like what you hear. I have recommended so many times this practice to many people! What I used to do (and I do it when I have some free time) was that I played a song once. The second time I would listen to the song while reading the lyrics. Then I would try to write down the song only by listening, and going back and forward as many times as needed. After this, I would compare my version with the original and I'd do the proper corrections, Finally, I would write down the same lyrics until I do it perfect. 

There is a little problem with this strategy, and it's that not everybody enjoys music in English, and it's because of the rytimsnot exactly for the language. 

2. Shows

I really learned a lot of English, and some expressions in context thanks to watching shows in English with Spanish subtitles. But this was possible because I already have a connection with the language. Anyway, I could learn several expressions by watching House M.D, C.S.I, Criminal minds, etc. So what I used to do was trying to understand what they were saying and If I couldn't do it, I'd try to translate the Spanish subtitles in my mind and compare to what people in the show were saying. 

3. You Tube

In my time, what I enjoyed to do was watching the live sessions of the Jonas brothers, so basically what I wanted was to understand them, and by the vocabulary, I was gaining from songs, I could understand the context of what they were talking about. 

Reading in English hasn't been my passion, I haven't read a full book in English. So maybe that could be a new oportunity,
