What is the most difficult thing about learning English?
Interview with Enresto
What do you enjoy most about learning English?
How long have you been studying English?I started when I
was 4 years old so about 12 years
I enjoy watching films in English and reading books in
English
When did you first come to TECS?
I came when I was 8 or 9
What advice would you give to someone learning English?
Don’t just study English in class. You have to find other
things out of the class for example try to find a friend who
What do you enjoy most about the TECS classes?
You don’t just focus on grammar and vocabulary but cover
different things like listening and pronunciation. I enjoy
focusing on pronunciation and in classes there is a big focus
on vocabulary and useful idioms and expressions.
Why do you think it´s important to be able to speak
English?
You can travel around the world and speak to people in
different countries. For example I have friends in Germany,
Italy and Japan and I have to speak to them in English.
Do you like learning English or do you see it as something
you simply must do?
I don’t enjoy learning grammar but when I have learned it I
find it useful and I enjoy using it ay summer camps and
doing things I wouldn’t be able to do if I didn’t speak
English.
What other languages do you speak?
Apart from Spanish I speak French and I started learning
speaks English and talk to them, read books in English or
read a blog or something.
Have you ever visited an English speaking country?
Yes I was in Ireland for four months and in the USA month.
In Cork I went to an Irish school and lived with a host
family. In America I went on a cultural programme where I
was learning more about the way they lived. That was in
Chicago.
How did it differ from learning English in Spain?
I was talking to native speakers all the time and I watched a
lot of English television. There are some things that you
cannot learn in class.. idioms etc and the way they text.
How often do you study English?
Very often. I watch Youtube channels, I read books in
English and I skype in English
How do you hope to use your English in the future?
I hope to travel around the world and maybe live for a
while in the US.
Italian this year. I´m currently preparing the B2 exam in
French but my English is stronger than my French.
What are your favourite books or films in English?
Films – Mama Mia and Soul Surfer
Books – The Divergent Trilogy
Friday classes in Cádiz
JG’s phrasal verb song
Don´t Tell Me Off!
A rewriting of Taylor Swift´s Shake It Up, using phrasal verbs
by Nacho Barra, Julia Gutíerez, Victor Pecci, Maria Ribadavia, Paula Rodriguez and
Andrea Saleis
I always turn up late
I never seem to care
At least, that´s what JG says
At least, that´s what JG says
When I hang out with my friends
Wanna carry on don´t let it end
That´s what we all say
That´s what we all say
But I keep cruising….. saying it´s gonna be alright
But I´m never gonna give up up up up
And we never wanna grow up up up up
We just wanna shake shake shake
Don´t tell me off, don´t tell me off
And the aeroplanes they all take off off off off
And I really hate to wash up up up up
We just wanna shake shake shake
Don´t tell me off, Don´t tell me off!
