Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is one of my favorite holidays from the United States because it helps to humble us and show us that we should be thankful of what we have in our lives. What are you thankful for? I am thankful for my family and friends, food, a place to live, and the ability to be an English teacher on italki!

We are all learning language for different reasons. Some for school, some for work, some for passion, and a million other reasons people are learning language. I want to learn Portuguese to get ahead of the requirements for a doctoral program in Spanish Linguistics as well as the ability to communicate with people around the world. Why are you learning a new language?
