English Language Challenges

Learning a language is always a hard task to accomplish; this requires a lot of practice and dedication to learn the different types of grammar rules and the pronunciation of the wide amount of words.
During the course of time some languages have been more “important” than others, in our current time the more relevant language is English, for this reason in the university we have English classes, because today all the scientific discoveries are written in English.
During the time I have in these English courses we have the opportunity to make different types of exercises, to improve our English, like blogs, classes, some games, among other things. I can say they were nice. 
During the course we blogs to practice our grammar and capability to think and write about different topics, I think they are useful, they complete they purpose 
What aspects of my English I need to improve? I think definitely my pronunciation, to be honest I’m not so sure how to improve it, I don’t have many opportunities to practice it, or someone to practice with, but I try to hear different things in English, for example when I play a video game, I put it in English, first because i like more the  voice acting on English more than in Spanish, and so hear the pronunciation of different words. 
Currently outside the English class I use my English a lot, for example to study about different things or to make some works for the university, because there is more information available in English than in Spanish, and in video games when I need to type something on chat or understand the story of it.

Changes To My Study Programme

Education institutes during the course of years try always to innovate in the study programs, upgrading them according to the needs, new technology available and new discoveries that change some understandings about different things.
In my current career, which is pharmacy, we got a new study plan a few years ago; I can’t compare them because this is my first year in the career, but I can say that I think the current one is well organized, we see a lot of things related whit what we may be doing in the future. I think the workload In the current program is fine, but maybe the length of the career is a bit long, but I understand that in this career you have to know about a lot of things.
The university lacks about different things, for example the classrooms could have less broken chairs, and we can have a bigger library
Technology in almost every career is very important, it allows you to access to the new information available in the internet for example, and of course without technology, we couldn’t be able to progress in our understandings about this world.
In our current educational system (and probably a lot of years before the current system), the university works just like the school, you came to classes, you take note of some things, you memorize them, and then you have a test, so I believe that the teaching methods in the university are the same utilized in the school.
