Narrativa de LA

My first contact with English was during my childhood, when my aunt Eliana was graduating and used to listen American music and talk in English close to me. She was taking the same course as I do.

At that time that language seemed wonderful for me. I had no ways to learn because my parents couldn’t afford an English course and I didn’t had the subject at school.

Anyway, when I went to Junior High School I started learning English. I was a good student and always looked for more sources of information. Then, for me there weren’t bad teachers or books or days to try and give my best about English.

Despite my will-power I had a trouble: I was very shy. So my pronunciation was prejudiced. But as the time passed, I became less shy, and my pronunciation got better.

Nowadays I also give my best to improve my English, although I still feel insecure about my intonation.

Sometimes I get unfounded to look for more sources. Or sometimes I wish to know other language or I feel a little lost.

Anyway I think that what made me learn English until now was my willpower and dedication.
