A New Subject I Learned

My primary language is Spanish, but I was taught in elementary school how to read, write and speak English. I had a difficult time learning English because I grew up with my family talking Spanish to me. Some words in the English language sound different than their spelling. Unlike, in the Spanish language a words spelling is written by the words sound. It was easier for me to sound out the word and spell it correctly at that time.The language that I would hear on the street's and television was different than what I had learned in the classroom.
As I got older I learned to distinguish the differences between "slang" and proper English. I read magazines, books, and poem's to improve my vocabulary in the English language. It was a struggle for me to comprehend the English language, but I did not give up. I know how important it is to understand the English language and being able to write it well will make a difference in my life. I am not the best English writer, but I am now able to express my ideas clearly. I might have also inspired others to not give up and have faith that they will also succeed in any task that they are currently having problems with. I now enjoy reading more than ever, and every day I learn something new from the English language, which I am grateful for.
