My evaluation of the English class

At first, I was a bit disappointed in the class, I mean, I always knew this class was not going to be too hard for me, but I did not think we would be revising verbal tenses or vocabulary. As the weeks went by, I started enjoying the classes' dynamics, the way the teacher approached interesting subjects and got us engaged in discussing different topics: social, moral or even our own experiences. I mainly enjoyed talking and listening on the group conversations or in the pair discussions. Not so much the grammar or vocabulary part, because they kind of bored me. I did learn a couple of new words though!

I think you could see my enthusiasm in class as i would talk a lot, but I think that has to do more with the fact that I have on opinion on everything, and the need to get my point across, Sorry!

I don't think this English class had a huge effect on my activities outside the classroom, because I was already involved in the English language and culture. To me English was already a tremendous part of my life, as it has been a second language to me from the age 11 and for 4 years I only surrounded myself with native speakers. Now that I think about it, this class has made me aware that I actually have distanced myself from this language, as I used to do everything in English, read, write even think in English. Now I'm far from that.

Overall I enjoyed coming in every Thursday, it was a laugh!
