Have been in/on?? I've already learned the difference between HAVE BEEN TO & HAVE GONE TO We use 'HAVE BEEN TO' to talk about life experience. When I use this, I'm saying that I went there but I returned. Example: "I've been to the US many times before." ( but I returned. I'm not there right now.) And we use 'HAVE GONE TO' when the person you're talking about is still there. Example: "Mary is not here. She's gone to work." ( She is still at work) But I've seen that we can use the preposition IN. In other cases even the preposition ON... Ex.: I've been in...... or On vacation for example. When do I use IN or ON instead of TO? Thanks

I'm back! Well, it's been a while since I last wrote in my notebook. I don't know what to write about, actually. I just want to practice a little today so I'm going to tell you guys what was the highlight of my year. 2017 was a really good year for me. In August I attended my first event completely in English. It was AWESOME! It was a three-day convention in São Paulo. There I had the opportunity to practice a lot by talking to people from different parts of the world, such as United States, United Kingdom, Nigeria, South Africa, Philippines and many others. It was an amazing experience being able to have contact and to learn about too many different cultures. My friends and I had to travel around 10 hours to get there. It was a little tiring but it was totally worth it! Everything was perfect: the place, the people there, my partners. We had the time of our lives and I'm sure we won't forget anything about this great trip. Well, that was the highlight of my year. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait for the 2018's program. Thanks for reading! P.S. This is a picture of one of the families we met there with typical clothing of their country.

Challenges of Learning Portuguese...

Hello Everyone! I'm a Portuguese native speaker and as a student, I know the difficulties we face. Then, I want to help you the best way I can. Portuguese is not the easiest language in the world and I know that. That's why I am here. Just let me know: What are you difficulties when you are learning Portuguese? I mean, what normally makes you think more, what stops your learning. Is it some pronunciation? Grammar? Differences about some accents, or what?

You can share with us your challenges and I'll try to write an article or something like that to help you guys!
Thank you all! 

May I help you?

Hey everyone! 
I'm Brazilian and I'm also learning a foreign language. I'm learning English. 
We can learn many things in different ways, specially when we are studying another language. Nowadays, we have so many Apps, Websites, books, a whole world to help us to learn a foreign language. When we dedicate and study hard, we are certainly able to speak that language. However, "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT". Have you ever heard it? So, we can do whatever we want, but only when we practice  with others, we will be able to speak well. So, that's why I'm here. It would be my pleasure to be able to help you to learn Brazilian Portuguese. I'm here to help you to talk like a native. We can work on specifically issues or just have a conversation. Don't be afraid. Feel free to contact me and schedule you lesson.

I hope I can help you. 
Thank you all!!  

Finishing My Internship Program I'm kind of sad. I have been in an Internship Program since 2015. It's in a company here in my Hometown in Brazil. On the first stage of the program we spent 12 months studying at a technical school for us to be able to work in the company. After that, we are in the company as Trainees. Here we can practice what we have learned at school and improve our professional skills. I'm happy because we are finishing, like, we did it! However, I'm also sad because we made lots of friends here and we will miss our colleagues. but we still have 2 weeks. We have to enjoy it, right? Thanks you all! Have a great day!

Have gotta or Gotta? Yesterday, I learned that an informal way to say "have got to" is by using the contraction "gotta". I saw that 'Gotta' is the contraction of "got to" But in other websites I've seen that it's the contraction of "have got to'. That's the Question: "I've gotta go!" or "I gotta go!" ?

One more Semester... Yay! Here I am. Another year has begun at my English school. I'm so happy for studying there. There, we can practice a lot and expand our vocabulary with everybody. The teacher is awesome! I love the way she Teaches and it helps me a lot with my English skills. Everything I learn there I can use it on italki and practice with native speakers. Then I can prove to myself if my English is getting better.
