https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw Hello everyone! In this padlet you will find my training in the listening area. en-us 2023-03-22 02:30:15 UTC 2023-03-31 17:38:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3a7.png julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2526481754 At the beginning of the day I had a hectic time because I arrived a little late to the university, however when I finished classes I decided to listen to a podcast in English before going to sleep, it was complicated at the beginning because they speak faster than usual but as time went by I could understand and assimilate more sentences to better understand the meaning of what they were discussing in the podcast.

I had to activate the subtitles because sometimes it was difficult to understand absolutely everything but I was able to assimilate the voices and the subtitles helped me to realize some unknown words. 

The series is called Breaking Bad, it is very interesting because it dealt with very controversial issues such as the preparation and sale of drugs, however I could only see 4 episodes because I had to get up early to get up early the next day, so when I have time I'll pick it up again doing the same process.]]> 2023-03-23 19:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2529404286 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2529413466 Today I had a difficult day since I had a presentation and a quiz but that was not an impediment to continue with the process of improving my listening skills. so i found an app where you can talk to people from all around the world just by adjusting the filters for the language you want to focus on.

I chose the English language so a lot of people from English-speaking countries began to write to me and they also invited me to meetings created by them in the same application in which you can have a voice conversation with multiple people simultaneously.

 It was great because you could ask about different topics and at the same time improve your ability to listen since most of them are very kind to answer you and correct you if it was the case. I was very comfortable with the application and I hope to be able to enter again soon.]]> 2023-03-23 19:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2529413466 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2529427582 I want to start by saying that today was an incredible day since I received some grades and most of them were good results so as soon as I arrived I decided to resume my study plan listening to music in English for the rest of the day. 

I am a big fan of music in general, however, music in English was not something that I loved, I really preferred other genres, but the challenge was to listen to those songs and try to understand them, and I was going to achieve it. I had many things to do in my room, like washing my clothes, sweeping and mopping the floor, and organizing the closet, so it was time to do them and once and for all take the opportunity to listen to those songs while I do them.

I decided to listen to something rock like "Queen" "Guns N' Roses" among others. at the beginning it was good, songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "November Rain" made me reflect and start to like the genre. when I got bored of rock I wanted something softer, that's when I found artists like "Ice Cube" "Snoop Dog" and "Notorious B.I.G" whose vocal and instrumental timbre made me fall in love.

I had to look up the lyrics of some of their songs to understand better and I could tell that they have a lot of sentimentality and passion when they create their songs.]]> 2023-03-23 20:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2529427582 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2539970664 Today I woke up a bit tired but I needed to resume training so after lunch I decided to find another podcast that would help me improve my listening. I found one very interesting and funny, its name is "impaulsive", it deals with current controversial issues in the world in general and I think it's a very good way to understand English culture as well.

I used subtitles since I wasn't so used to the British accent so I found some expressions I didn't know so it was also a good way to expand my vocabulary, I think I'm going to add this podcast to the list of things I should watch more frequently.]]> 2023-03-31 14:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2539970664 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2539992417 Today I was quite busy with some late work so I decided to do tonight's exercise before bed. Since I didn't have to get up early the next day, I decided to watch a movie that wasn't so difficult to understand to try to enjoy it as well while reinforcing my listening. 

I didn't know what genre to watch so I remembered that a friend recommended me a movie with a simple language called "forest gump". It was very entertaining and interesting and it wasn't as difficult for me as I thought.]]> 2023-03-31 14:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2539992417 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540018769 Today I had little time to continue my training so the little time I had I took advantage of to listen to music in English. When I was on my way to university, when I came home or when I was doing some work I was always listening to that great playlist that contains everything from 80s rock to current pop. The songs that I liked because of their message I looked for them later complete to listen to the complete message.]]> 2023-03-31 15:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540018769 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540035033 Today I decided to pick up the podcast from day one as I felt productive enough to do it while having lunch. Today's chapter was very interesting as it dealt with how music can help us find peace after a loss, also how music can help us unblock our mind so I was able to enjoy the process of learning and improve my listening.]]> 2023-03-31 15:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540035033 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540048204 On this day I found some listening exercises on a website, the audios were of a lower level than I am currently, but nevertheless they had their degree of complexity for me since I had some errors in some questions.]]> 2023-03-31 15:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540048204 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540064576 Today I received advice from a friend who lives in the United States who told me a good way to improve my listening which was to listen to conversations between native speakers. I chose a conversation between two friends, it was somewhat informal but it helped me learn some colloquial words and expressions.]]> 2023-03-31 15:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540064576 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540137016 It's finally Friday and I finished my obligations to dedicate the rest of my time to finish the series that I had started days before, every time it gets more interesting but I had to stop because I was very sleepy due to a very busy week but I hardly have time I will finish it.]]> 2023-03-31 17:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540137016 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540147311 Today I had quite a difficult day so all I did was watch some videos of natives talking about very interesting topics but I couldn't finish it because my mom called me and I had to talk to her.]]> 2023-03-31 17:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540147311 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540157160 Today I decided to start an audio book called "It" by Stephen King and I plan to finish it by reading 2 hours a day for the last 3 days to finish my training. in the first chapters I can notice that it has a suspenseful plot and for now I'm liking it.]]> 2023-03-31 17:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540157160 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540159726 In these next two hours listening to the audiobook in English, I made further progress in the plot and was able to better understand words that I couldn't before.]]> 2023-03-31 17:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540159726 julir4567 https://padlet.com/julir4567/8k5mxkxt622wdutw/wish/2540164687 To finish with the audio book, I must say that it was a very interesting book that surprised me with its plot.
