My progress in the English learning My progress in the English learning: I studied in a private English school for almost 18 months, but I wasn’t feeling that I was improving my English. So, I decided to study by myself. Now, I usually watch videos in English on the YouTube, I read more, I try to write short stories with the vocabulary that I have, and I try to speak with different people from many parts of the world (sometimes I don’t understand nothing, haha). In my honest opinion, I would be better in English if I were more determined since the start, even when I was studying in a private school. I think I was lazy and I didn’t know that the responsibility was mine. Now, I am improving my English. I make mistakes, as everyone does. But, I am happy, I am learning English.

Curso Presencial ou à Distância?

Eu estudei inglês em uma escola presencial por 1 ano e meio, aprendi bastante coisa, mas sinto como se todo este tempo pudesse ter sido melhor aproveitado e que eu poderia ter aprendido mais do que eu aprendi. Semana passada tranquei meu curso por estar passando por um momento acadêmico e  profissional em que não estou tendo tempo para quase nada.

Já ouvi diversas vezes que a escola presencial é melhor do que um cursinho online porque na escola você pode conversar com os outros alunos e professores e que nada substitui o contato humano, e tal, mas este site é prova de que não precisamos mais estar em uma sala física para termos contato com outras pessoas, aprender e ensinar idiomas.

Considerando que quem realmente quer aprender uma nova língua tem que se esforçar para conseguir isso, e não somente frequentar uma escola por anos, e que hoje em dia existem diversos recursos que possibilitam o aprendizado, vocês acham que um dia essas escolas de inglês terão um fim? 

Algum de vocês tem experiência com cursos online? Me recomendam algum?

American TV Show My favorite american tv show is The Walking Dead. I am still watching the 3rd season, but I already love it. My favorite person is the Michonne, she is strong and smart. I didn't like Andreia, because she has aways taken the wrong way. The governor is a strange man. I don't know, but I think he is or were a good person once time. Rick is kind, but in that world you have to be able to do anything.

Articles in Portuguese If you wanna know about articles in portuguese: We have: Definite articles: O - male nouns in singular A - female nouns in singular Os - male nouns in plural As - female nouns in plural Indefinite articles: Um - male nouns in singular Uma - female nouns in singular Uns - male nouns in plural Umas - female nouns in plural The difference between the kinds of articles is: Definite articles: used to refer a specific  someone or something. Indefinite articles: used to refer a someone or something vaguely. Exemple: The woman - A mulher. I know about what woman I am speaking. A man - Um homem. I am speaking about a man, but I don’t know about who. He can be anyone. You can know if a noun is female or male looking the last letter. In the most of times, if is A, the noun is female. If the letter is O, the noun is male.

How can I know? When someone says: you are beautiful, for example, how can know if this person says this to only one, or more people? Because 'you are' can be used to singular or plural sentences.
