Help me if you can I am feeling down... Hi everyone! First, I'd like to thank you for your time reading my note. That's my first one, I know I am here to learn, but I also want to apologize for my terrible English, I promessed to myself writing here, "I won't use any kind of source wich would help me to translate any word". I need to confess it is dirficult for me... But I am really writing with my own knoledge of English. If you want, feel free to give me any kind of tip or a bit of advice, I'd like much more if you use some "prasal verbs" in your correction, becouse I don't know how to use "phrasal verbs" and I feel frustated with it... I wish I could... Sounds more natural speaking English. I want to improve my English and I really need to learn Chinese Mandarin, I work with chinese people and my lack of knoledge in this language is holding me back in my career, I can move up or claim up this ladder if I become proficient in this two languages or at least in one of them. Thank you for while! I hope to hear something from you! A big hug! PS - If you need any help in brazilian portuguese, you can count on me!
