Learning English

When I finished High-school I decided to go on a trip to learn English. So I went to California, Orange County. There lives my uncle with his family. It was a little hard for me to speak English because the entire family speaks Spanish very good. My cousins are from United States but his parents are from Ecuador so they speak very well both languages.

When I was in the house with my cousins I only speak Spanish because it was kind of strange to speak English with them. But during the day I used to go to the languages school and there I had to speak only in English because all my friends were from different parts of the world and the only way to communicate was English.

In the house I used to watch television and all the programs were in English. I used to read all the newspapers to learn more English and when I went for shopping it was necessary, only in some places, to speak also in English because a lot of people from California speaks Spanish too, so the things were easier for me. But it was also a little disappointing because I expected to learn a lot of English and it was complicated.
