Starting my English Live Journal (2011)

Starting my English Live Journal
December, 20th - 2011, Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Now, with the grace of God I am starting my Live Journal - Life in English!
It's a way to practice English like the teacher Eddy D said: "Start a diary of your life in English to practice and by following the four steps you will learn English fast and well good.".

But what are the four steps?
First Step - Understand 100% of the English text.
Second Step - Read and Listen again and again, a lot (many) of times.
Third Step - Try to copy (imitate) the accent/tone ("sotaque").
Fourth Step - Practice the English pronunciation in one (or all) of three ways:
A - Talk with strangers;
B - Reverse Translation of Dialog - like while talking with friends, family or someone you can try to translate your Portuguese dialog in to an English one in your mind;
C - Make a diary in English of your life.
Of course I will try to follow all the steps, but I have already started the C way of the fourth step.
It's a good idea anyway, I already like doing it.

Yesterday I became very sad because I understood (realized) some errors in my way of life; like one addiction/flaw ("vício") of to entertainment, and sometimes I lost a lot of time in through entertainment and the internet, and I don't study (haven't been studying) the Bible a lot like in the past, so I need to return to the Gospel, I need to "spend" more time studying the Bible and the secular things too, I have a lot of books to read and sometimes I pass spend weeks without reading anything. Ok, I also have a lot of things to do too, and sometimes I don't have time left to study and read (much) a lot, but I need to improve the use of my precious time.

Now I will finish the beginning (opening/inauguration) of my English Live Journal, and I really like to do it. (I really enjoyed writing/doing it.)
Maybe I will return to write here (today) again soon, anyway I would like to write daily and continue with this project.

God Bless!
