It’s been a while It’s been a while since I wrote anything here. My life has gone through some changes; I passed the Translation entrance exam at University so I’ve been quite busy. It’s quite hard, especially English class since I’d never written a literary analysis but I enjoy it. English has always been one of the constants in my life and I really love it. However, I’m well aware I need to improve in some areas, mainly in my speaking and listening. I feel they’re a little underdeveloped compared to my writing and reading. Maybe it’s due to my social anxiety or perfectionism that I get nervous about it. Anyway, I’m trying to change that. On the other hand, I feel my Portuguese has also reached a bit of a plateau, and since I don’t have as much time and energy, I’m just trying to maintain it with native content and weekly conversations with my teacher. Lastly, I also started learning Italian but I haven’t been able to get very far with it. I’d wanted to start learning for a while because it’s my heritage language and I love how it sounds but I was afraid it would interfere with my Portuguese.
