English

    Learning English at the university  and in pandemic has become complex, I can't always get into classes and I have to watch them later, and learning English is not so easy for me because I am not so good at languages. However, blogging has been a very useful and fun way to implement English in my life, because I am learning new words, connectors and ways to order words, while doing something fun like writing a blog. I have a hard time speaking English, I don't know so much vocabulary either, so English is quite difficult for me in general. I think a good way to improve it and learn English is to listen to music in English, watch movies in English with Spanish subtitles or in Spanish with English subtitles and try to read some things in English, my university classmates and friends have recommended me to do these activities, and I think they can be very useful. Outside of English class and blogging, I use English when watching movies, listening to and singing music,

I think that taking a graduate course can be very beneficial, because you can specialize, get a better job, a better salary, etc. Besides, what interests me as a future psychologist is to be able to provide better care, that is, to know more in order to be able to help people in an optimal way. I think I would take a course in community psychology, something related to childhood, popular education, etc., topics oriented more to the social than to the clinical. I would like to study abroad, I have never been outside of Chile and I would like to spend some time studying in another country.I would like to study in Spain, I have seen that many of my professors have done postgraduate studies at the University of Barcelona. I would like to study in Europe, in Spain. I have seen that many of my university professors have done postgraduate stu
