Post 8: English Language Challenges Regarding my experience learning English at university, I think it is quite useful to learn it, since it is a tool that can generate opportunities in the professional and personal future. However, it has been a bit difficult for me to participate in the online classes that we must have due to the context of the pandemic, because my internet is unstable and the class stays stuck, so for me it is better to see the recording. In any case, having English courses at the university is a good thing, because sometimes there is not the time or money necessary to have private language classes, so having it within the mandatory fields is something positive for our profile professional.

In addition, a personal reason that I have for studying this is that my grandmother died of cancer and never received psychological help, so I think that it is very important for the treatment of the disease that there is psychological support by a specialist who has a training for that specific disease, so that you can improve your quality of life. Considering that since this year the University of Chile has this specialty, I would like to study it in our country, so that I can be close to my family.  Regarding the study modality, I am not sure which one I would choose, since it w
