A little bit of my life Hello everyone, my name is Elias, I am from Brazil, I am 18 years old and this is my first writing note. Well, I had an amazing day today and I thought " I never wrote any notes here on Italki because I am always afraid of making mistakes and being corrected by people". However, I decided to change my mind and start to write notes regularly, so that I can get corrected and my english can be enhanced. I've been studying english for over 4 years and now I am studying languages (Portuguese/English) in college. My first experiences with the English language took place in 2010 when I started my English course, and I may confess that I've been loving this amazing language since the first time I learned my first greetings: "Hi" and "Hello". In my opinion, learning a language is too exciting because I am always searching, talking to people all around the world, learning and also adventuring new experiences. Although I am studying languages, I am currently and informally working as a graphic designer. I love developing advertising and I consider it a hobby. I live in a city named Montanha which is located in the state of Espírito Santo - Brazil. I was born here and this is where I belong. I am not the kind of guy with a lot of friends because there aren't many people near me with the same interests I have, such as, learning a language, talking about literature, religion, culture, and a lot of other things. I love my family and we are together almost all the time, be at home, be in the church, we are always getting together. Nevertheless I've never been to any English speaking country, I hope I can go someday. However, I want to enhance my english level before travelling abroad. That's all I have to tell for now and hope you guys can correct my mistakes, so that I can improve my English. Hope I can count on all of you! Cheers!
