English language Challenges

 Hello everyone! I am writing a little late because being in charge of a human being has made me have very little time, even more so when the children get sick and all your attention must be on that. 


In general my experience learning English at the university has been much more profitable than in high school, especially considering that the rest of the English courses I was fortunate to take in person, certainly at a distance it has become more difficult, but I have been able to review the classes and I think that the activities that are proposed make learning more enjoyable, they are didactic and there is an evident concern in the planning of the classes and in deepening the learning.

The blog is great! It is really motivating to learn to write in English correctly. I have been able to learn that all my life I have been translating in a literal way and not in the correct way. 


I think I need to deepen in all aspects of learning a foreign language, especially in everyday conversation. I think I'm not so fast at generating answers, even to understand questions or sentences, I think the best way to improve that is talking to people who speak English natively.

Finally, the truth is that I use English in everyday life by changing some words from Spanish to English and with my daughter, whom I try to teach ways of saying things in Spanish, English and Mapudungun, so that she doesn't forget where she comes from.

  1. I hope your baby is better, a lot of encouragement for you, I loved the idea of teaching Mapudungun to your baby, really valuable <3
    Regarding English in high school, my experience was also bad, hopefully that will change for new generations :(

Crochet Knitting

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to tell you about one of my hobbies, which is crochet knitting. The first time I picked up a crochet needle was when I was a little girl, however I didn't start knitting until I was about nineteen years old. I started by knitting small squares guided by youtube tutorials, then scarves, hats and mittens. It was then that I began to understand that there were different types of material to knit: wool for warm clothes, yarn blends with wool for spring garments, and finally I discovered the wonderful cotton yarn. Cotton yarn, besides being useful for many things, is used to make "amigurumis", a type of weaving (I think Japanese) with which you can create figures like animals, dolls and whatever you want! I started knitting everything I could imagine with this technique, and when I had my daughter I decided to create for her a collection of powerful women and native animals, that's what I try to do now, although I really have little time....

My best vacation ever

Maihue Lake I didn't go on vacation  recently due to the fact of the pandemic world moment, but surely everyone is in the same situation. Anyway my best vacation ever was in 2017, when I went to the Chilean south. Anyway, my best vacation ever was in the summer of 2017 when I went to Chilean south. I traveled around various towns of Los Lagos and Araucanía, I got to know some of people and their life stories, it was fantastic and a cool experience.                                                                                                                                       ...

My dream job

 Hello everyone! Today I am going to tell you about my dream job. I don't really know what area of geography I would like to work in, however I would like to work outside of Santiago, in the south of Chile, in a rural or urban area.  In a rural place I imagine that I will work in an organization that does field work, maybe risk and socio-environmental vulnerability studies, or working with communities helping to address water scarcity, or in indigenous territories contributing in their struggle for recognition and respect and care for nature.  In an urban area I would like to work with informal territories, working to end housing inequality, for social and environmental justice.  I would like to always be able to work in the field and hopefully never in an office, to travel a lot doing studies of geomorphology and biogeography always with the objective of contributing to the community. As for the salary, I would really like to earn enough to live peacefully, more for...
