It’s been a while since I came on 43things so I thought I might talk about my improvements in English.
Since last time I’ve re-read Eragon, and read the sequel : Eldest. I still think both are great books. I’ve also read HP 6 of course.
More importantly I’ve got a new methodology while reading english books : I try to look into a dictionary almost every word I don’t know and write them down. The result is I’ve got scores of pages full of words… But even if I very rarely try to learn them, I still remember more words than before.
This year I also have English class at the university (though it wasn’t my choice, it’s compulsory). We had to take an exam to see our level. I’m happy to say that I’ve reached level 5 out of 5, but it was only grammar and bit of oral comprehension. In class we’re mainly practicing oral expression. I hate that even though it’s the main thing that I lack :s I do quite a lot of reading but I know it’s out of laziness, and what I have to do is express myself (which I do a little here). Maybe I should find someone to talk with in English on the Internet. Anyone interested ? :p
