Hi partners!
Well... the end is coming and this semester was powerful, without "paros". And I think everything happened very quickly, Do you think so too?
For me this learning tool is fine. Because the words stay at your brain! and they stay for expanding you lenguaje capacity...and thats is good! The true is in a one semester is not enough for to clarify all grammatical and pronunciation mistakes, but of course everything improves. The principal problem for me was the violent changes in the level of the courses, from English two and three everything was fine ... until in the four everything got too complex!
I really think, that it is not very compatible to study English while to studying something else, because the principal curriculum consumes most of the time and this learning experience weakens :(
I think it's best to have a good English base from school ... it's ideal, but if you could not ... well, do not give up. I would like to learn english practing more from the texts of art, or in something in this area, I don´t know... anyway probably should take a posterioir course of English to can travel to realize other studyes in other countries
Outside the English class I use my english to sing my favourites songs in this lenguaje! hahaha but, I don´t practice a lot.. I hope someday I can watch a full movie without subtitles hahaha I hope someday I will be able to see a complete movie without subtitles. I believe that all this serves to improve the pronunciation and understanding of English
Anyway it was a very entertaining course!! good luck partners!!
Hello partners!!
well is a little complicate think about wom is the best form to learn about art. In a begin is interesting think if is reallly necesary stay in a university to learn art. Well is true, the art is necesary in a society or in a culture for understand and question diferent things about life, human and reality.
And in this way that art is taught in iniversities it is good... I mean, you can practise this as a profesional, (in spite of.. you future and the survival in material meaning is not sure) At this point many things in the visual arts career can be improved. In my opinion, the infrastructure it is important too, the library in "Las encinas" doesn´t exist! is a precarious place to stay... It is not a comfortable place and there is never silence! hahaha maybe because it is thought that students of art do not need to read much... I don´t know... I imagine that the logic of the government in Chile, and the "system" in general is dont destine much money to the art area, because the artist don´t think a lot about the how make money! hahah.
About curriculum I think is okey, but the way they evaluate it is rare. I do not know if the notes are the best way, because I believe they serve for more objective subjects in which the more "hard" knowledge is tested.
The best thing is the big and wonderfull space with grass and trees. In that place you can talk and spend time with your partners in a relaxing way.
Hi partners!
For the moment I dont imagine the relax time, because there are still many final exams to complete, in a short time, but however.. this time is coming soon, yeeee!
I thought about traveling to north of Chile, in a meditation center for the retreat the people, they want leave the plane of consciencie for a week. In this place the silence is the most interesting characteristic, if you want stay here, you should keep silence all the time! in any moment, every day for ten days.. it looks easy but isn´t.
The name of this mediation is "Vipassana", and means "seeing things as they are", it is one of the oldest techniques in India. It was taught in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal cure for universal problems, is as an art.. the art of living. I think is a good place for relax completely and for stop think in mundane problems. The best part is that it´s free!, you have go with your fruits and good aptitud!
I think is a travel for the inside of you, alone, in silence, away for the noise, stress, worry of the city...is a very healthy "exercise" for the mind and for you existence in genereal. Later, if you want, you can help to the others to feel the experience, for this reason is free, "in a mutual benefit". You should register first in their web site, and they wait for you. I hope they have capacity still!!
