That's Why we Talk it

Here we are, writing and reading English blogs, writing about our life, tastes and opinions, but all in English, if I don’t know how to write a word, I search it and use it, if I don’t know what to say, I just keep reading over and over again waiting for some ideas to grow in my mind, and after that being able to share all of that, write what I think is easy to me, and it’s become easier to me with every post I’ve wrote, and the what and the how have also become easier to me thanks to the learning of this language in the university, it have been long the time learning English here if you ask to me, but I feel very comfortable with the things I’ve learned here.

However, no matter how comfortable I feel, the idea is to keep learning, specially the speaking part, and a little bit of listening, I would like to learn the phonemes and talk with someone in English in serious conditions and have the opportunity to defend myself speaking in English, I’ve done something like that sometimes inside an online videogame, but with unknown people and without a serious situation, but it still being great to practice the writing and speaking.

As I said, I use the English to talk with some other people in online videogames, specially MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Pay Game) or MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), not everyone are from USA, some people are from a lot of other countries, but English is the language we all know, at least the most part of the times, even a few times I’ve spoken in English with people from Spain, Argentina or Mexico, and it’s hilarious when we realise that. But outside videogames and the English class, I have not too many opportunities to use the English language, just by watching movies, but what I do is to watch international movies, from France, Italy or Brazil, and read the subtitles in English, because they have not them in Spanish, sadly, but it’s good for learning, the problem also is the listening part, because I have sometimes a little amount of problems to understand English, specially the British.    

To Change or not to Change

Sometimes we can turn on our TV and watch some news about the educational system, the education minister, the president or a school authority talking about the constant improvement of the education in the country, and some other news about students complaining about all the things that we are missing about the system and the mistakes of the previous mentioned authorities and their methods. But I think that is because we are never satisfied with the opportunities and tools we can receive, and that is good, it’s a way to make a real improve of our general methods and we can search in a lot of different ways to learn with our mistakes and trying to don’t repeat them in the process of create the ''perfect system'' which in my opinion doesn’t exist.

If would have the power right now to make changes in the education system, I would really don’t know what to do, because I don’t feel with the enough information or statistics to make changes and elevate the approval and quality of things that we can learn or how we use the learning, now, what would I like to learn and how to learn it, that is other business, I would really like to have more independence with my own schedule and manipulate my time in my own ways and maybe have more free time to dedicate it to activities or hobbies, make the university activities become only inside the university and the home activities only in your home, extracurricular activities and optional activities should be that, optional and extracurricular.

About the technology, I feel very comfortable with that, I mean, we always have the research in front and behind us ready to keep going with and for us to create new stuff to make the things easier, but currently I have a lot of respect for the technology and if the progress goes very accelerated we can make a world that Martin Heidegger was very afraid to see.

One of my favourite philosopher Martin Heidegger, he was very critic about the progress and the general technologies, and he believe in the world’s end by the technology destroying the humanity.
