How I learned English. My name is José Augusto S. Gomes. I am Brazilian, and I am a seaman. I really like this job, because, I have contact with many people from different country, and I can practice English, a lot. In fact, the best way to improve English is practice...I´ve been studying English for 6 years. It is not a hard language...Many words are similar Portuguese, my native language, because English has around 25 per cent of the words that came from Latin. You know, Portuguese cames from Latin, as Spanish, French, Italian, and Romanian..Well, I think that I have to improve my English, because I never went to an English country, maybe someday...But, Internet helps, a lot, and I usually try think just in English, it is amazing to improve my English skills...I like English musics, books, and mainly, to meet new friends from everywhere. If you wanna, keep contact. It will be good meet you. I like to know about different cultures, lifestyle, languages, and have fun. See you:)
