Hi Jessica,

Not everyone checks out your profile page, so they might miss seeing your introduction. I suggest you start a thread in the 'Introductions' forum and introduce yourself there. (You can copy what you wrote above in your post.)

By the way, "I have gone through (... courses)" is proper English.

The Spanish equivalent is "He cursado" (I have taken (... courses)). This is the present perfect tense. It's a compound tense. The first word is the singular first-person form of 'haber' (a helping verb much like 'have'). The second word is the past participle of 'cursar' (to take a course).

Another way to write "I have gone through several courses" is "I have taken several courses." In the revised version, which includes the verb that is a literal translation of the Spanish verb 'cursar', it is easier to see how the helping verb 'have' and the past participle 'taken' match 'he cursado'.
