Individual Reflections - My Journey to became a better learner

Hi everyone! How's it going? 😃

Today I want to share with you about my reading also my listening journey this semester. Like I said before, I like to read. But I often read in Indonesian more than English. As well as listening. Through this class (integrated communicative course), I began to retrain my reading and listening skills. 

At the beginning of the semester, we were introduced to er-central to train our skills to improve. I felt interested that knowing this other platform to improve my reading also listening. So I started reading and listening at er-central although not diligently every day. I think it's because can't manage my own time, and that's a shame. But besides improving my skills, I also increase my knowledge while reading er-central. 



My reading and listening journey at the end of the semester improved quite a bite, as I pushed myself to raise my reading and listening level at er-central. Besides that, I also tried to adjust to using English subtitles when viewing something on youtube. Sometimes I do listening some English podcasts on Spotify to improve my skills. Recently I also found a site to download ebooks, so I can read them later (of course, it's all in English). Here's the link if you're interested!

After this course, I think I'll still read graded readers or other fiction books. Because I'm happy if my skills continue to grow, besides that I also want to finish some ebooks that I haven't finished reading. It's called Into the Magic Shop by James R. Doty, MD. I think it's interesting for me because he was discussing the mysteries of the brain and the secret of the heart. I think that's all for today's blog. See you at my other blog and have a nice day! 🌞
