My experiences in English Classes

My first experience in english classes in the university was the last year, in 2019 I enter in English Begginer program, or Intermediate I can’t remember to well hehehe, It was the same things as in this class, one hour of the blogs and other of content, like presentations or quizes and so on. Now in this year with the context of the COVID-19 pandemic it has been difficult to everyone, and make this classes more bearable it must be complex, but being honest the classes have been good.

I like so much the blogs, the idea of a blog always has interesting me hehehe, so in this english classes I had a good time making it, also the thematics to choose are fun too. Talking about interesting things, I like that the topics that we discuss in class to learn the content, like social causes or politics and so on, according with the contexts of the world and very reflexive, not apolitical.

In this classes I think I improve much better my listening, reading and understanding, but the talking it’s hard for me because the pronuntations sometime it’s hard, that’s fun because I use a lot of english expresions in my day xD I try to improve my english skills watching youtube videos or movies in english, the strategy of youtube videos are really usegul, I 100% recommend it hahaha.

Also I do not pretend to make fun of this, but it’s fun to me imitate with my friends the english ancents of scottish, irish or australian people, because is more complex and difficult but funny sometimes xD, also I want to understand the "deformation" of this accents.

And that's all, thanks for read my blog u.u

Postgraduate Studies

Thanks to the pandemic of coronavirus, this year are some difficult to me to learn the things of the career, so I think when I finish this career, I want to delve into some topics that have taught us, especially in linguistics and contemporary society, I searched in the page of FACSO and I found a magister in Sociocultural Anthropology and sounds cool, this magister helps to understand and discuss better the sociocultural transformations in the contemporary world.

The magister brings various subjects, especially theoretical seminars about ethnography, politics, culture, ethnicity, debates and so on.

Also, I want some magisters in literature or linguistics because the language is something really important in these days, besides I found a diplomat called Ethnography, Archive and Audiovisual Communication and sounds interesting, specially two subjects called Audiovisual language as discourse and The construction of knowing from image and sound, I think that knowledge will be more didactic and interesting in this times.

In some point of the postgraduate studies I want to take some magisters or doctorates abroad, searching a little I found some magisters in Madrid and Barcelona, sounds great for my but also I want another country to learn new perspectives of anthropology, preferably in another language hehehe.

Thinking about the type of studies, I think I would take a part time course, basically because it would not take too much time.

My future job (but I hope that's not the only one)

I started to study anthropology in the 2019, before that I always want to writting things, speacially essasys and reports, something more like journalist or literature (I study anthropology because the “mix” of story, philosophy and language).

In the beginning I knew that this career had the “ability” to change the things, and that’s motivated me a lot but in an “academy way”.

That changes when I started the subject “The work of anthropologist” with the teachers Flora Vilches and Jorge Razeto I found a new perspective of the anthropology, more socially engaged, more comimtted with the people, with the victims of the capitalist system, the victims of injustice.

I would like to go to those places when people need help, communities affected by different problems such as environmental disasters, extractivism or the neglect of a company for example.

Anyways I want to write essays but also go to the people of a communities and try to help them.

The three specialities of anthropology in university of Chile (social, physical and arqueology) have their things where can help people, but I think social anthropology are more “direct” with the people indeed.

Talking about the salary, this is not bad at all (for mi expectations of life), seems good.

So that’s all, thanks Flora and Jorge for their work with that subject hehehe.
