Me & the English language!

English and I have a kind of relationship. Our first meeting was when I listen for the very first time a song called "Don't speak" by No Doubt in the 1995. I loved Gwen Stefani's voice, even though I didn't understand what she was saying. The language she was using to sing and I, had a kind of connection. With this, I began to be conscious of how much I enjoyed to listen to a different language. I found English language as the key to understand a new world.

Since any relationship has to be cultivated with love and perseverance in order to keep the relationship alive and inspired, I decided 10 years later that I really wanted to be an English teacher, therefore I signed up in the foreign language faculty in Cali, Colombia. Later on, I got my first job as teacher assistant in a bilingual school so I began to work and study at the same time. My world was basically in english even though I was living in a spanish speaker country.

As a average couple we have also experienced nice moments and sad moments: I remember once I had a job interview, and the interviewer said that my english was not good enough due to my latin american accent :(. but instead. I had an unforgettable trip to USA and I could meet the man that nowadays is my lovely husband. There was period where the english and I had a kind of crisis, it was when I began to attend danish lessons and I was so focus on it and besides that I began to work in Copenhagen as a spanish tour guide. Anyway I'm back, it has been a month since I began my university studies again, so English and I are both happy attending classes in Vordingborg, it has been very nice to meet new people and to be able to talk to them, it has been nice to keep on learning what I like the most.
