Teaching myself the Spanish Language

How Do I Learn Languages On My Own?

Como aprendo idiomas por mi solo?

Viendo Reina de Corazones: Tengo a ver el mismo episodio tres veces. Primer en español, despues en ingles, y finalmente en español de nuevo. 🗣

Aprendiendo otra idiomas es divertido.

Puedo escribir, leer, y ver películas en español después casi un año.



Yo estoy muy bien. XD

Los Ultimos De Filipinas una pelicula producción de España.

Acabo de final viendo la película de España sobre asedio en Baler por los últimos soldados españoles en las Filipinas. 

Inicialmente, estaba buscando una película en español para practicar mi español. Pero buscando este mejor película porque esta sobre historia de Filipinas en los ojos por España. 

Me mucho gusto este película. Es dos horas de duración pero estaba mucho aprendo sobre idioma español y historia de Filipinas. 

Parece que la película es como historias que libros Filipinos y peliculas Filipinos dicen. Pero leo que algunos personas españoles no gustan la pelicula porque esta insulto la historia de Espana. Algunos Españoles no creen que héroes hacen mal cosas durante la colonization.

Pero esta historia es verdad, no? Los soldados estaban asedio en Baler por casi un año. Estan no creen que españa perdido las filipinas con los americanos.

Nos aprendemos los lecciones de pasado. 

The movie was a very nice movie. I know that there are patriots from both in Spain and here in the Philippines that think that the movie is a hyperbole or a depiction to manipulate or insult the past, but there's always two sides of every story. And for every story you will always figure out which ones stay the same and consistent. 

As for my Spanish listening skills, I will continue to watch movies in Spanish. I would probably watch this movie again and rather than focusing on the story, I would now focus on the words. 

Reading and writing in Spanish and hopefully it becomes natural for me. 

I really love watching movies that are based from true stories and at the same time allows me to research about that particular story and find out more about it online.

Finalmente he terminado el curso principiante.

Here's my beginner 6 certificate in Spanish thanks to Babbel+.

I know I need to go through courses 1-6 again but más o menos lo sé más sobre español ahora.

Lo sé necesito repetir curso uno a seis para revisar.

Keep learning... Keep practicing...

Here I am again with my travel jitters as if it's my first time to fly alone. 

It's not. So. I don't know why I'm so nervous!

IELTS (International English Language Testing System)

I really hate taking exams. I know I keep saying this whenever I have to take an exam. But IELTS is an exam that we Filipinos need to take if we want to work, study or move abroad. I don't know why we have to take it but it basically "judges" you if your are prolific in the English Language. So unfair. Why do we have to go through this Exam.

We Filipinos practically use English language more often than we know our native language anyway. Well, I gotta stop complaining because there is no way out but to review (again). After 2 board examinations, 1 masters degree, I am still not done with examinations!!
