Music

For me, music is one of the most important things on my life, because without music, this world simply wouldn't have sense. It is a way to express, a kind of language that it's common to every culture all over the world. For me, it's a way to have fun, to let my imagination fly away.


I'm not sure if there's a particular style of music that suits me. I'm really into punk and Oi! music, although there is been a lot of time since I left the scene. I'm also very into folk music  I'm also very into the Folk music.  This is music with the influence of traditional instruments and music from the celtic and nordic culture. It has a lot of rammification, but the bands I like the most are Korpiklaani, Finnntroll, Nogroth, Eluveitie, etc.


On the other hand, I have been influenced by my dad to listen groups such as Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, U2, etc. I like bands from a lot of styles within rock music. But if I have to choose one band and style, I think I'll choose Sex Pistols. Not only for their very rude style of making music but also for their attitude. They simply didn't give a fuck if the Queen itself was watching as they spit the Union Jack. That's simply the best! And in top of that, their style although wasn't very elaborated, was catchy, aggressive and easy to play.


As I don't like any specific style of music or band, I'll post a picture from Sex Pistols and a video from Korpiklaani. Enjoy!

Bilinguism

As far as I know, Bilinguism is the ability to listen, read and speak two different languages. Or even more, although I'm not sure if that would be still be called Bilinguism or something else. There's plenty information on the Internet about this topic, but there's too much information. One of the things I read about, was that some people believe Bilinguism is the knowledge and usage of two different languages, but with more fluency in one idiom than the other. Well, I think this is OBVIOUSLY because every person will be more fluent in their mother tongue, regardless the skills that person may have in the other language.

Personally, I would like to speak in several languages, specially German. I know it's very difficult though. I like the way it sounds and the different words, or the culture that it represents. I don't know, I just like it. Of course, I would like to learn German after I finished to learn English.

I think the ability to speak in different languages is something common to us, and that we are all very capable to do it. But to do so, we have to work hard, some more than others. Every person could learn to speak in different tongues, and I think it's very important to improve ourselves as persons, and to learn different cultures.

Even the guy from the picture below can learn to speak in English xD Or the guy from the video below too xD

What's writing to me?

Well, I think writing is one of the most important things you have to learn when you are trying to learn a different language, in this case English. Personally, I like to read and I like to write. I mean not only in English but in my mother tongue as well. This doesn't mean that I'm reading all day or anything like that, I just like to enjoy a good reading.

About if it's easier or more difficult to write in English than in Spanish, well I think it's very obvious that English is more difficult, not impossible though. Anyway, I think it will be very useful to learn how to write properly, so that way we could improve our English.

I hope it will be a good and fun experience =)
