WEEK 1: LANGUAGE

THE WORLD OF LANGUAGES

A huge number of languages can be found all over the world. It is worth mentioning the fact that more than one language could have been chosen when I decided to study my degree on English Phylology. Having said that, German can be a good choice inasmuch as it is the language of the future because of their constantly development and its growing presence in the European countries. A good reason is that German helps you to work in a foreign country since it is the most spoken language in some countries like Austria or Switzerland. As a matter of fact, German is a complicated language since grammar and syntax differ from the Spanish one in many aspects. Despite this, German is the first spoken language in Europe and more and more universities in Spain but also some schools are starting to teach it. On the whole, studyng German can be seen as a forward-looking project, since it can be useful in the future facing the world of work.

It can be said that some activities has been made to improve my level of English. For instance, I have read Mrs Dalloway in original version, to prepare my first practice session which took place next Thusrday. Moreover, I have watched the film in English with subtitles.
