Maybe it all depends on the environment to come back to. Regardless of tasks, I like my school; it's a nice place... as strange as it may sound for a student Thanks for dropping by Take care too
It's good to see you around, Max. I go back to work on August 15. I'm a little depressed about it, but mostly trying to enjoy the few days of freedom I have left, and also, I am grateful to have a job. Thank you, universe. Take care.
Winter break is almost over and I still have to complete some assignments, but from the 8th of August I'll be attending classes again
Hey there, stranger! Are you on a bit of a break from school? If your tired, I hope it's a good tired!
Part 2: I've had to do a lot of listening and reading aloud, so it's been a little bit of a hard time, but successful in the end. I feel that one of the most appealing aspects of language learning is to acquire the ability to speak in different accents, so I won't complain. By the way, I'm aiming at a teaching degree, or at a linguistics degree, or both in the best scenario. Thanks for taking interest in my new life project, and sorry again for not showing up before. I didn't mean to seem rude How have you been lately?
Hi qimi! I apologize for not replying earlier. I haven't been around for over a month, so busy that I find it hard to keep up with mails and such, and now I'm doing my best to keep up with pending replies (I don't want to seem like I have no manners ). I'm on a two-week winter break now, but just a break from classes, since I have a pile of assignments to hand in as soon as the activities restart. I'll have three phonetics courses, of which I already passed the first, and I'm taking the second on the following semester. Thanks for the link by the way. When I began learning English I became familiar with the American accent... you know, the movies, the TV shows and so on. Our classes, however, aim at the standard British accent and during the first semester I had to practice very hard in order to develop a decent British pronunciation Part 2 ->
Hi, Max. It's good to see you around again. What degree are you studying for? And when you say phonetics, do you mean something like this: http://www.ic.arizona.edu/~lsp/IPA/SSAE.html ? Does the practice of phonetics help you with English? Your pretty good at it already, aren't you? I've never read The Canterville Ghost, but I have seen a made for TV movie version of it , I believe. It's charming-but then it's by Oscar Wilde! So when is your break?
Hi qimi I thought I would give you some news Despite failing psychology, I'm doing pretty well in other classes. This week I got highest marks on English Language I... my fave class so far. I'm experiencing a little problem with phonetics, but the other day I did a phonetic transcription test on a fragment of The Canterville Ghost, and it turned out a high mark too. A few things appear to be getting a little better See you soon. Winter break is nearing, but I still have a few more exams on their way before that!
And thank you for your eager encouragement. It's indeed appreciated
Hi qimi I apologize for not replying sooner. I find it hard to find the time. I have tests to sit for almost every week, plus many assignments too. I do what I can to keep updated with the correspondence but I'm afraid there's little I can do. Being a university student is very time-consuming and I still have a whole pile of pending replies on me I had to drop Psychology. It was taking up too much time, as I needed many hours per day to memorize and "try to understand" all those intricate concepts that seem so hard to fit into my brains, and I was neglecting English Language I, Phonetics and Morphology, which are classes I seem to have some talent for and which are more critical within my studies' curriculum. So I'm planning to strike back on it at a more suitable time, maybe next year. Thanks for dropping by and asking, and for the music link which I enjoyed very much. See you soon I hope, if the studies don't kill me How have you been lately?
