Difficults to Learn Other Language (In My Case is English)

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since I write in this website, I'll try summary my experience in to learn English.

In Brazil is commom to learn English in school, but is the poor English, just to say "I know something in Enligsh, like color, animal etc...". I started working with 18 years and until mine 25 years I never need to used the English, in Brazil is expense to study English, in my city a good course is about R$400,00 per month, it's complicated one teenager have this money.

I started make the course call Method Callan, basically the teacher teach one word and put in a phrase, the teach speak and the studant repeat, repeat and repeat. I think the better method to lear, mainly when you don't know nothing.

I conclued the course the last December, nowaday I can write, read , I know that my English still poor, but I can communicated. My mainly difficulty is to listen and understand what the other person speak, for me speak is more easier because if I don't remeber one word I try to change to another, but it's not use speak if I can't understand what the other person answer or ask me.

I found a lot of people to willing to help me and need to help in learn Portuguese, when we start chat is cool, easy, but after that we meet each other is difficulty to keep a conversation, miss subject to speak, and the most people just answer my questions.

I've one question for everyone.

Everyone have this difficulty to learn English? What do you do to improve? What your suggestion to improve mainly the listening and speak?

Thank a lot to read this big text and sorry to a lot of mistakes.

Olá Pessoal,

Estou na "caminhada" para conseguir me comunicar em Inglês.

Estudei durante aproximadamente dois anos em uma escola de Ingles que utiliza o Método Callan de ensino, achei muito interessante e vale bastante a pena, se aprende um vasto vocabulário principalmente quando você não tem nenhum conhecimento (Como Eu) e não quer ficar 2 anos só aprendendo o verbo to be.

Minha questão hoje é praticar a fala e escuta, ainda tenho muita dificuldade em entender o que a outra pessoa diz, dessa maneira fica difícil me comunicar, por mais que eu queria falar não consigo, pois se não entendo o que vou responder na conversa?

Basicamente queria um "auxilio" de vocês no sentido de saber se vale a pena estudar pelo Italki, como funciona os pagamentos e a compra de créditos, quanto sai uma aula?

Entrei em contato com a English Live, plataforma virtual de aprendizagem online, a principio gostei da propaganda, ALGUÉM já fez esse curso? Vale a Pena?

Obrigado pela ajuda !

My Opinion About ITalki I entered this site in May 2017, about three months ago, in this time I feel much difficult to find one collegue and partner of language. Sometimes because of Time Zone, other because of the quantity of people that learn Portuguese is smaller that learn English, or just because the other people don't want speak with you. In geral I think that the propose this site is very interest and important to learn other language, already search other sites like this, but don't find. So, I hope that find somebody that want really learn Portuguese to study together and learn both languages. Only I have issue to find partners? Tks

About my city Already spoke about my person, my family and my work. Today I'll write about my city. I live in São José dos Campos, normally we write SJC with abbreviation. SJC is a big city in the interior of São Paulo, have about 7 hundred thousand people.
