Language Experience in Elementary
From age six to ten years studied in the best Catholic schools in the city of Camden NY, and that circumstances helped me to develop myself pretty good in English.

Language Experiences in Secondary
My parents moved to Puerto Rico. It was that moment where I leave behind the knowledge of English. It was very hard because my primary language was English and the school I attended for that time the education was entirely in Spanish, and English that were taught was very basic. As the years go by I felt that my language was declining because I was living in a Spanish speaking population and I stop practicing my English and that's when Spanish it's getting over. -

Language Experience
I can see that my English language is not bad. I can communicate and the people ca understand me, but as a professional I understand that I need to know more conversational English and learn more grammar because I have much difficulty writing it. -
