Language Learning History
My language learning history started
when I first heard a friend of mine singing Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’
on Heavens Door”. It may sound weird but it’s true. I got
really curious about this song, I was 10 years old, so I bought a “Guns
n’ Roses” album wich had this song.
Afterwards, I started to listen
to everything in English, from “Ramones” to “Michael
Jackson”. I was really a fan os “Ramones”. My mother
almost beat when I asked for more CD’s of them, I had 8 or 9 CD’s.
When I was at “8ª série”
I started to have classes about English. It was (very) awesome because
I had a good teacher and I had honwn most of the vocabulary reading lyrics.
Since then, everything worked out. I could perceive, by studying grammar,
how words got connected.
I kept going this way until the
“cursinho”. I first tried psychology at UFXS, but (thank’s
God) I didn’t succeed. Just because of 1 single point! I got very
disappointed and decided that I would try English. I passed here and there
(UFxS).
One thing that marked me a lot
was the visit of some guys from Europe in my city. I didn’t know
that I had enough vocabulary to have communication with them. After that,
I realized that I had to study English for I will always love it. Here
in university I had what I hadn’t, instructions to speak correctly
and to be aware of the way of English Language in academic environment.
