Hello! I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English. I need someone to talk to so I can practice. Let's chat in English to practice? I can help you to learn Portuguese!

✨ Present Simple vs. Present Perfect — Stop Mixing Them Up! One of the biggest grammar challenges for English learners isn’t memorizing the rules—it’s knowing which tense fits the situation. 📌 Present Simple → habits, routines, facts, and general truths. * I work from home. * She drinks coffee every morning. 📌 Present Perfect → experiences, recent actions, or actions that started in the past and continue now. * I have worked here for five years. * She has already finished her report. ⚠️ Common mistakes: ❌ I have been to Japan last year. ✅ I went to Japan last year. ❌ I know her since 2020. ✅ I have known her since 2020. ❌ He has breakfast every day. ✅ He has breakfast every day. (Present Simple) ✅ He has just had breakfast. (Present Perfect) Grammar becomes much easier when you learn it through real-life situations, not just textbook rules. That’s exactly how I teach on italki. My lessons focus on: 🌱 Situational grammar that you can actually use 🗣️ Lots of conversation and speaking practice 🎭 Real-life scenarios instead of repetitive grammar drills 💡 Practical corrections and natural expressions to help you sound more fluent and confident. Because grammar shouldn’t be boring—it should help you communicate naturally.

I am passionate about architecture and currently own a home that does not have any architectural style at all. It has been an interesting project and my builders are nearing completion. I can't wait because then the fun part starts for me. I'm hands on and have painted all the doors and window by myself. Today they did a self levelling screed for the floors. It was very interesting to watch the application.

Today, I studied Russian until late at night because I have a Russian test tomorrow. I reviewed vocabulary, grammar, and practiced reading sentences. It was not easy, but I did my best to prepare for the test. I hope I can remember everything and get a good score. After studying, I took a short break and went to bed. I felt tired, but I was glad that I studied hard.
