SELF-ASSESSMENT

What can I do that I couldn't do before?  For example I can now read better than before product instructions or descriptions / menus of PC programs. What did I like most? What I like most have been the "interpretation" classes. What are my greatest strengths and weaknesses? I believe that what is best for me is grammar, and what I need to study more is in vocabulary and translation. What did I do well? I think what I have done the best this quarter is the blog. What am I confused about? I think the most confusing for me is vocabulary and grammatical structu res. What do I need help with? I think that more than help is my work to study, because I understand everything but the problem is mine that I forget. What did I do in English outside the class? Outside of classes I use English to communicate with people online through games or understand guides and instructions, etc . What do I need to improve? More personal work. What did I learn about culture
