My first class on italki

As today I had my first class with Dr. Priscilla, I am here in order to write a little bit about the class. But before that I will introduce myself.

Introducing Myself

My name is Diego, I’m twenty years old, and I’m married. I have been studying English for about four years, mainly in order to take the TOEFL test. So, last year I took both TOEFL iBT as TOEFL iTP. I tried it because I intended to attend a doctor degree program in Canada. However, I realized that I would have to take care of my family in Brazil, and consequently I would have to keep on living in Brazil.

Currently I have been working as Web Developer at Consinco. Consinco is a software developer company with about three hundreds employees. Before start working at Consinco, I was attending a master degree program at Federal University of São Carlos. My goal in the master degree is to develop a software able to translate automatically Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) to written words, I did not finish yet, but I have been working on it.

The class with Dr. Priscilla

First of all, it was my first class with a native speaker, so I was a little bit nervous. Nevertheless, it was good. My main goal is to improve my speaking and my writing, so during the class Dr. Priscilla showed me up some of her students’ lessons, and I found it pretty good, mainly the blog writing exercise. I got so motivated that I am here writing my first post on my newest blog. As it was my first class I do not have so much things to talk about it, during my course I intend to write more things about the classes and consequently help other people understand how this kind of classes works.

Thanks a lot guys. If anyone has a question please feel free to ask me.
