#2 - How did I find this website Italki? (tip for English learners)
Hello everybody!
Today I would like to share a tip with people who is learning English.
A few months ago I decided to practice listening. I started to watch English news on CNN's channel. In the beginning it was very difficult to understand, because I was used to watch English videos only with subtitles and there is no subtitle on CNN's channel. Also most native people talk very fast.
Then I noticed that my listening improvement would be much slower if I had only practiced in that way.
I searched for help on internet and fortunately I found many podcasts that are made for English learners. The audios are recorded by native speakers and it's easier to understand because people talk a little bit slower. Since then, I am learning new expressions, vocabulary, phrasal verbs, etc just by listening to these audios everyday.
One of my favourite's podcast is All Ears English (allearsenglish.com). Our website Italki was mentioned in one of the daily episodes.
And here I am :)
Next posts I will share another tips.
Any corrections about this post would be very welcome.
Take care!

#1 - My first notebook entry (English/Portuguese exchange)
Hello world :)
Firstly, I wanna thank everyone who is reading this now, even those people who will not leave any comment or correction. I'm just another guy in the world trying to learn/improve English. So, thank you so much for your time spent here in this post. I really appreciate that.
Secondly, I am going to do a short introduce about myself:
I am Rafael from Brazil, I am in my late 20's, maybe in my early 30's, it doesn't matter :) I have heard about this website a few months ago, but I've never registered before. So last weekend I was thinking about it (I need to improve my English speaking), so I decided to give it a try and here I am.
I am learning English just for fun, to be able to watch English videos on Youtube, read English books, maybe travel abroad and many others reasons.
I think I am doing a good job. I have no problem with reading and writing. However, I need to practice listening and speaking.
So my main goal on this website is to find English native speakers to practice speaking.
Even if you are not a native, I think we can learn together helping each other. I believe this is the best way to learn a language.
In return, I am willing to help anyone who is interested to learn Brazilian Portuguese. I am very patient to help people who is motivated to learn something. So all levels are welcome. Don't be shy, fell free to leave a message here or a private message.
That's all for now. Once again, thanks for your attention. Sorry about any mistakes.
In another day, I will write about my experience of learning a new language and share some tips with English learners.
Finally, I would love to receive any correction about this post.
Come on everybody! Together let's master English and Portuguese :)
