How do you learn vocabulary?
I have spent a lot of years of my life learning English because in my country is obligatory to study this language. It is necessary to study the language from Elementary School until University, but you do not always do it in the most proper way.
Most of the time is dedicated to the grammar aspect, so the speaking skills are not developed in the best way because there are a lot of students in the classroom and little time. Another aspect who is neglected is vocabulary acquisition; not only for the teachers but for the students too.
In the lasts couples of months, I have been trying to acquire the vocabulary that I did not acquire in the past because of my lack of awareness about what was necessary to do to improve my English skills. To memorize is not difficult for me, I think I have a good memory, but to choose what is the most adequate form to learn vocabulary has been hard. I lost a lot of time trying to decide between learning singles words or words on context.
Currently, I use different tools:
- An app to find words according to the topic and the level; beginner, intermediate or advanced.
- A dictionary to search sentences and learn the words on context.
- Anki to remember the words, the Spaced Repetition System made the learning process easier.
It takes me a lot of time and energy to learn vocabulary, but I think it is more effective in the long-term.

Physical books and e-books: what do you prefer?
I used to prefer physical books because I like to smell books and touch their sheets, but that has changed; currently, I choose e-books over physical books because is easier to find e-books in different languages than physical books in my country. Besides e-books are cheaper and I can to subscribe to services like Scribd or Kindle unlimited, services who allow me to read several books for a determinate cost monthly.
Some months ago I had to move from one city to another and carrying a lot of stuff was difficult; that situation made me change my mind completely about physical books and e-books, currently, I am considering buying an e-reader, that will facilitate my life a lot.
What do you prefer? a physical book or an e-book?

Bakeware
In the last past weeks, I have been baking a lot, from cakes to bread.
But I don't have a lot of bakeware, just a couple of measuring spoons, a measuring jug, a sieve, a roller, a mixer and a baking pan.
After watching some videos on Youtube and visiting sites like Shein, Wish and Aliexpress, I have discovered useful tools to prepare different dishes. Youtube is one of my favorite websites because I can discover recipes from diverse places in the world but at the same time, some videos make me want things that I don't need nor have enough money to buy.

Sotaques
Há alguns dias li um texto sobre sotaques no qual o autor compartilho a experiencia de uma mulher ao falar inglês com falantes nativos e não nativos, e como a confiança dela ao falar mudava pois não sentia certa cobrança de perfeição por parte dos não nativos, situação que fez com que ela esteve-se mais relaxada ao momento de se comunicar.
Me senti de certo modo identificada com esse relato porque eu acho que falo muito melhor português quando estou conversando com pessoas que não tem o português como língua materna.
O que vocês acham de sotaques? É importante para você aprender a falar como se fosse um falante nativo? Você acha que o fato de falar com o sotaque da sua língua materna faz com que as pessoas te tratem de um jeito diferente? Você tem medo de errar quando fala com falantes nativos da sua língua alvo?

A course in English
Some days ago I started a course called “The changing Global Order” on coursea and the topic of the first week is: Theories of International Relations. I watched a video about realism and neo realism theories, but now I have to read a text called “Structural Realism after
the Cold War” wrote by Kenneth N. Waltz, so I am going to use that text to put on practice my reading.
So far I have not had any problem to understand the videos, but I think will need to check out the dictionary to understand the reading.

Português
Há um bons meses que eu não posto textos escritos em português neste site, mas hoje decidi voltar a fazê-lo porque eu preciso melhorar minha escrita e não me esquecer das coisas já aprendi.
Faz uns minutos que escrevi um post em inglês falando sobre um desafio de línguas para melhorar a fala no qual participei em inglês e português nos meses passados, e sobre como eu vou utilizar as perguntas do desafio para praticar minha escrita porque as vezes é difícil escolher uma matéria sobre a qual escrever. Ainda não sei se também utilizarei as perguntas para melhorar minha escrita em português posto que acho que meu português tá melhor do que meu inglês então acho que da para escrever sobre melhores assuntos nesta língua.

Ideas
The last months I joined a challange called "30 days speaking challenge" to improve my speaking skills in English and Portugues, but this month I decided to rest, but I was thinking about the things I want to post here so I decided to start posting the answers of the questions of the challenge. The questions will be a useful tool because sometimes I do not know what to write about.

Tired
I am tired, all I want to do is go to the bed and fall sleep, but yesterday I said "I am going to do my best to improve my laguage skills", so I decided to write here some phrases in English first. Tomorrow I will try to study English early in order to have an successful language journey.

Hello italki, my old friend
I have not used this site for a while and even knowing my texts in English are not going to be corrected, I decided to write here again because it is a useful form to improve my writing and to force myself to think in English.
Some weeks away I was really tired of the English language because I was practicing my speaking but I was making many mistakes so I stopped doing a language exchange, but now I am trying to do my best to improve my languages skills because this is an important language to develop my professional carreer.
