Well to be honest it was not easy for me to start writing this blog. I was not sure about which topic I should choose. At the end I have decided to talk about an expert on my field.

I was not sure about which topic I should choose.


At the end I have decided to write about an expert on my field. I remember that when I started studying I did not know what subjects I would have. One of them caught my attention immediately. That subject was phonetics and phonology. I had 3 semester of this subject and it was not easy but on my first year the teacher asked us to work with this really nice book, its name is phonetics and phonology, it was written by Peter Roach.

Peter Roach is a british phonetician, he was born in 30 June 1943. He is a graduate of Psychology and Philosophy, after that he studied at Manchester University where he studied teaching English overseas. Then, he decided to start his postgraduate studies, the course he took was Phonetics. He also completed a PhD. He retired in 2004.

I really like his book because it helped me a lot when I was a student. I still use it sometimes. When I was a student it was hard to understand the different chapters but now that I read it well it isn’t that easy but it isn’t as hard as it used to be.


This is Peter Roach
This is the book that I use, but now there is a fourth edition.

Hi everybody, I would like to introduce myself so you can know a little bit more about me. I was born in 1989 in Santiago and I have always lived here, although I would love to live in the south of Chile some day, nearby Frutillar as there are beautiful and quiet landscapes. I studied at Universidad Catolica Silva Henriquez where I made good friends and learned not only about my career but also about myself, so I could say I grew up in many senses those years. Last year, I finished my Master's Degree which made me really happy. Teaching English is something I enjoy every day, and now when I think about the decision I made of study...

I have to admit that it was kind of difficult at first thinking about only one, as we have many technological devices that we use every day and make our life easier. I realized how important is for most of the people having their cellphones for example. Nowadays everybody spend a lot of time in front of their computers or sending text messages, but to tell the truth I'm not a tech fan. I actually don't use them very often and I've never played those popular cell games, so despite their are useful tools in my life of course, I wouldn't say that I actually "enjoy" using them. But then I started thinking Which one of them...
