When you think writing business letters is hard, you definitely have not had to write legal texts. They are a piece of cake. Honestly, I experienced sitting in a Legal English course and learning all these terms was not easy at all but I will come to that later.
Last year, when I had the chance to choose the courses I want to take, I
signed up for a Legal English course. I expected it to be easy and thought I
would not have to study a lot for it. With this attitude I came to our first
class. At the beginning our teacher introduced herself to us. I forgot her name
but she is from Canada and a kind person. However, then we had to introduce
ourselves to her. Our first class was easy cheesy. No complicated legal terms,
nothing special. I thought I was right and was happy.
This ended in our second class. There we had to bring our books with us,
studied legal terms, all in a high register. The whole semester we had to study
a lot, write letters, other texts… In the end I managed to pass this course
with a three, it was not easy though.
