#1 - My first notebook entry (English/Portuguese exchange)
Hello world :)
Firstly, I wanna thank everyone who is reading this now, even those people who will not leave any comment or correction. I'm just another guy in the world trying to learn/improve English. So, thank you so much for your time spent here in this post. I really appreciate that.
Secondly, I am going to do a short introduce about myself:
I am Rafael from Brazil, I am in my late 20's, maybe in my early 30's, it doesn't matter :) I have heard about this website a few months ago, but I've never registered before. So last weekend I was thinking about it (I need to improve my English speaking), so I decided to give it a try and here I am.
I am learning English just for fun, to be able to watch English videos on Youtube, read English books, maybe travel abroad and many others reasons.
I think I am doing a good job. I have no problem with reading and writing. However, I need to practice listening and speaking.
So my main goal on this website is to find English native speakers to practice speaking.
Even if you are not a native, I think we can learn together helping each other. I believe this is the best way to learn a language.
In return, I am willing to help anyone who is interested to learn Brazilian Portuguese. I am very patient to help people who is motivated to learn something. So all levels are welcome. Don't be shy, fell free to leave a message here or a private message.
That's all for now. Once again, thanks for your attention. Sorry about any mistakes.
In another day, I will write about my experience of learning a new language and share some tips with English learners.
Finally, I would love to receive any correction about this post.
Come on everybody! Together let's master English and Portuguese :)

You write well, just some minor mistakes for the most part. Sometimes what you wrote was gramatically correct but not how a native speaker would phrase it so I tried to change it slightly.

Vanessa, thanks for your comment. It is very inspirational to me.
Phil, thank you very much. Great tips. I am going to study these details.

I agree with Vanessa, I've seen native speakers writing much worse. The only things I'd recommend your fixing are what Vanessa mentioned and the following minor points about prepositions and verb + infinitive vs verb + -ing:
"interested in learning" -- always "in" after "interested."
"on another day" -- always use "on" before days. Use "in" before years or months, when the day is not mentioned.
"patient helping other..." This is idiomatic; I don't think there's a rule.

"a short introduce about myself" is the only thing that hints that you are still learning English. Most of the comments/corrections left by Paul are common mistakes or simply variations among native speaker.
You write as though you are fluent. Good job.
