  Post 8: English Language Challenges What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university?  What about the use of blogs? What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this? Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for? - Wordcount: 240 - Make comments on 3 of your partners' posts. Let’s talk about learning English. Learning this language has been a plus in my life. Many doors have opened in my professional life. I did not learn English in the university. I learned it in an institute in New York. So it is difficult to talk about an experience that I did not have.

I wish I had it.  I have to say that I learned to write by practicing and editing my papers at the university. If I had had a blog like this, it would have been much eas

All of the above would have helped m

Postgraduate qualifications is the only way into certain stages of a career, especially so in academia. In the private sector, postgraduate qualifications are equally valuable. An MBA, for example, may advance your career in business in ways that nothing else can. Once one chose a career the prospect
