English at university

 My experience with English this semester has not been the most entertaining. I thought it was going to focus more on vocabulary that we could use in our careers or give us tools to improve our pronunciation, but the classes and assignments were very boring. I still don't clearly understand the purpose of the blogs, they are supposed to improve our writing skills by practicing it but why is there no feedback from them? How do I learn from my writing mistakes? However, I believe that the error is at the faculty or university level perhaps, not necessarily the professors.

Regarding my level of English, I think I am able to understand a lot of things and read a lot, but when it comes to speaking, I have a lot of problems with the conjugations of verbs, I forget some words and in general I have terrible pronunciation. I really like to watch movies or series and listen to music in English, but with Spanish subtitles, so I think I could start using the English subtitles as well and so I would assimilate the words to the sounds in a better way, to pronounce them better. Nowadays I use English for that, to watch series or understand song lyrics, and to look for certain sources of information for my academic work. The fact that English is spoken worldwide means that there are many interesting papers in that language.
