English language challenges

Hello! This's the first semester that I have english at university. The first class was funny, with most of my classmates with the camera on interacting with each other in english. But from the second class, it was pretty boring.

The classes weren't similar to the ones I had in high school, because there are no units, specific content or a presentation. During the classes we only do some random stuff, like visiting a virtual museum or watching videos without sound, trying to make us interact in english.

The blogging seem fun to me, because it's similar to telling our lives through social media (as we usually do) but more "elaborate". Also, you can choose what to talk about more specifically without losing the central theme. I would like to receive some feedback on them, since I have no idea if I'm writing something wrong (probably yes).

My english vocabulary isn't completely bad, but I don't know how to pronounce many of the words I know, so I end up deciding not to use them as I speak. I think this's because I have learned more english by reading than speaking, so I should try to watch videos or series in english to improve my pronunciation and my own listening.

English is very useful for me for minor things like playing a game, but it has also helped me to communicate with people from other places, contact some help services, understand some psychology articles, among other things. Lately I've using it to talk with myself haha

    I talk to myself in English too, and is very funny because my pronunciation is very bad, but I'm trying to understand what I can change to improve mi speaking, and I think is hard because we don't speak always in English, and in my case at least, I'm getting very nervous when I'm tring to speak and sometimes my ideas are blocked.

4th post | My pet

My little pet If there's something I always want to talk about it's about my pets, especially of one of my two cats, called "Tommy". I've had many cats in my life, and I can't compare any of them with him. When I adopted Tommy had around two months of life, but he was very social and was circling in front of you so that you would make petting to him. He sleeped with me from the first day and after that he decided to never more be apart of me. He's with me on classes, while I'm studying, reading, cleaning and even now while I'm writing this. At the end of the day, he's always waiting for me to go to the bed together. Because I'm in quarentine I don't go out frequently, but when I have to do it my mom tells me he's looking to the door all the time. When I come back he refuse to be far of me, and it's constantly trying to stay on my legs or my neck.  Another thing about Tommy it's that he isn't growing up quickly, so my fam

1st Post | Cardiff

A country I would like to visit If I had the chance to visit any country,  I would like to go to a place I've been before, Wales. The reason of this it's because I lived in the capital, Cardiff, for a month because of an internship, and I loved every little thing I saw around. Cardiff it's a city where the people talk in english, but the official language is welsh, so all the signs in the streets and the publicity are written in both languages. I think the most striking thing about this place it's the castle that is in the middle of the city, also known as "Cardiff Castle". Being there, I would like to visit that castle again or just walk for the center of the city to see the big carousel that it's in the middel of the central street. I believe is almost a perfect place to live, because the people is kind, the wheater is very special, anywhere you look around it's beautiful and has many things to do.

6th post | Time travel

 Time travel to the future If I could go to the future I just would like to see my own city, where I live in this moment, because would be the only place where I could see clearly the real differencies between now and the future.  I don't know how many years in the future I would like to travel, but probaly I would like to choose a date when I know I definitly won't be alive, for two reasons.  First, I would not like to see my family, my friends or me in the future, know about my future life or anything that could do my present boring or predictable (knowing what will happen to me). Second, If I go to the future, I would like to see the things I won't see in my own life, for example, how will be the advancement of technology in the day to day, how will work the society and what will be the protests of minorities one or two hundred years in the future.  Even If I don't know how will be my future, I would not like to stay there because here are, in the present, my family,
