A quick INTRODUCTION to my BLOG

By


Hello there! This is Héctor and I'm going to be introducing to you who I am and then give you a general description about this blog so you can have an idea regarding this page, so we better get started!

Who am I?

Like I just said, my name’s Héctor Ballesteros, I'm 19 years old, I'm Colombian and I’m currently studying Foreign Languages at Universidad de Pamplona. I was born in San Cayetano, and raised in Arauca, I live almost my whole life in there until two years ago when I decided to move to this city (or town, maybe) I'm living in at this moment of my life. My mom’s Diana, and my dad’s Héctor Ballesteros (I believe you realized I was named after him); also, I have a younger sister, her name’s Valeria, and, finally, I have a dog, her name’s Tsuki which means “moon” in Japanese. 

Things I enjoy the most

I really love everything related to music; I started playing the piano when I was younger and that made learning how to play other instruments such as the trumpet and the violin easier. On the other hand, learning languages is something I consider pretty fun and because of it, I decided to make that my major.

NUMB by LINKIN PARK

The song deals with feelings of helplessness and pressure, which are well depicted into the song by its authors. This song has an unforgettable piano performance and I personally liked a lot the guitars that play in the song. At least for me, they xreate a dynamic sound that is hard to forget. The chorus, "I've become so numb," is pretty famous, actually, and also it captures the essence of emotional disconnection and frustration. The powerful lyrics and emotive delivery reflect the band's signature style. To sum up, Numb's continued popularity reflects Linkin Park's talent and emotional depth. The track stands out not only for its musical composition but ...

What MAKES me DIFFERENT from other FOREIGN LANGUAGES students?

By
I’ve noticed other people learn English and French by studying their grammar and stuff; even though sometimes I do that, it’s definitely not my main focus . Therefore, I will share with you how I learn English and French. The difference I’d rather study by being involved into the languages, it’s , at least for me, a nice way to learn vocabulary since you get exposed and learn some phrases or idioms that people actually use instead of some old-fashioned textbooks that teach us to speak and, in some cases, behave like we were just some robots programmed to imitate some very common British ’s speeches during a business meeting . Don’t get me wrong, it’s still pretty useful , but at the same time, it’s necessary t o acquire some knowledge from native sources in order to finally carry out all of your language goals .   How is it?   An English textbook   A textbook talking about videogames.   As you can see, the way some textbook teach us may be a little ...
