As a musician, I've been to a lot of concerts of partners, teachers and even international instrument players. But the one which was the most awesome for me was two years ago. A famous lyric singer came to Chile and gave a concert in Movistar Arena. She was the russian-austrian Anna Netrebko. For all the singers, she's like a legend. We all have seen her videos on youtube since she was very young until now, and his voice has been always really impressive.

I don’t know much about these places or the cities where I would like to arrive

It's easy for me to learn english memorising estructures and applying it while I talk with someone else about any topic. It's hard for me to learn when I am not interested in the class or when I'm not sure about the teacher skills. Something I want to learn in this course is how to use more complex verb tenses. I learn better in classes where the teacher is clear about the contents and instructions. Also when I can practice. I participate more in classes when the topic of conversation is interesting.
