How do you feel about English?

English love

Since primary school, it has been easy for me to translate from English to Spanish, read texts and understand what was written in them, but my weak point has been to be able to pronounce correctly or to be able to listen and translate conversations. 

But all this changes at the beginning of the pandemic, although it sounds funny, I installed tinder since the passport was free, and I decided to travel to European-Asian countries to meet people from different realities and countries, at this point is where my story really starts.

In these multiple changes of country, I met a girl named Daria, she was Ukrainian, and she was an English teacher and was learning Spanish. She loved to talk by phone or audio, but it was complicated for me to do it, because I could only translate conversations by chat, so I decided to improve my other skills by listening to music, playing video games, watching movies and series.

As the months went by, I could understand 70% of the conversations and I could answer 50% of them, being my pronunciation my weakness. I was happy to have improved my English and also to have met an amazing person through this language.

But all good things come to an end, after 1 year and a few months we had problems, specifically because of cultural differences. So I stopped speaking the language.

If I had to summarize all my history with this language I would say that it has given me great opportunities and I would like to continue learning to get to know other cultures and other people like the story I told above.
