Questions and Answers 1-Talk about an important experience thet you recently had. Describe what happened and explain why it was important to you. A important experience that I recently had was losing my cousin for cancer. He got sick and when we discovered it, my family received him in our home and we took care of him for the last year and it was very hard, but he passed away and it was important for me because I think I grow up a lot in this time and I got more mature including spiritually to accept things that I can't change and to have really faith and not just accept what pleasures me.

Education in Brazil and learning a new language Ok, I failed. I should be writing things in here everyday since I started, but I'm getting back now. Today, I will talk a little bit about my education. Education is not very good in Brazil. We - those who don't have money - don't have easy access to it. It's a vicious cicle. Because we don't havve good education we don't have access to education. It's hard to broke this cicle. Now I'm in college and I'm trying realy hard to get better. I wanna do interesting things. Change the reality of other people. I will start in a new english course now if everything turn out right (what I hope so) I wanna start learning spanish to. Everything I know about english untill today I've learned by myself and I don't even know how. It's impressive what song and tv shows can do for us.

My estrategie to learning a foreign language Hi. How are you guys doing? At first, I need to say that you can feel confortable to correcting me if I write something wrong. Today, I choosed write about how I intend to learn english and the estrategies that I'll use for it. I hope it helps people that are learning this laguage too. I think it can help also people that are learning diferent languages. Well, I don't know exactly in what level of english I am 'cause I didn't toke any serious test untill now, but I know what are my difficulties. As I said in the previous letter, I was surprised by seeing that I can't have a natural conversation with people in English. I thought I was better on it. So I decided to start writinng more and also speaking when I can. I foud some youtube channels that are focused on teaching English to people. I think a good satrategie when you're trying to learn a foreign language is learn without translate. When I don't know what a word means, I don't go to google translator to learn it, but to a dictionary in English. This way, I learn English in English if that makes any sense for you guys. Today, I founded a teacher on youtube that has a thechnique that she calls "imitation technique". Her channel's name is "mmmEnglish". She says that a good way to reduce your accent is focus on what you hear and not what you read. This way, your pronunciation get's more natural and you get more confidence to speak. I think this makes a lot of sense. When we read, we pronunciate letters that frequently are not pronunciated by the native speakers when they speak. I'm gonna buy a notebook that I'm gonna use especificly to write things about learning english and I'm also gonna talk with people here on italki. I hope I've helped someone. Bye!!

Why did you guys wanted to learn a new language?

I don't know when I decided to learn new languages and why I wanted to. I think it has so many reasons to decide a thing like that. 

This is a goial that I have for too many years, but I only start pursuing this year. Is my resolition. I was procastinating this thing to far. I'm not very good at writing or speaking, feel free to correct me if I make some mistakes. 

ABOUT LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE This is my first letter on the notebook. At first, I didn't knew what to write, but I think I'm figuring this out now. I'm actualy feeling inspired to speak with so many people arround the world. Isn't iconic how we can talk to each other without even going out of our own houses? I'm brazilian and I always wanted to learn new languages and be poliglot, but I just started my journey now. I'm feeling like it's a goal. Why do you guys wanted to learn a new language? I started learning english 'cause I already know somethings that I learned with tv series and movies. Also on youtube chanels. Besides understanding a lot of things, I still have too much dificult when it comes about expressing myself, my feelings and thoughts. Hope to get better with some practice. It was really fun writing here.
