A little bit about me

Well, I'm not good with words. When iTalki invited me to write something here I thought, "What I would write for people to read?"  I am not really an interesting person. I don't have many interesting or travel experiences of my own and I don't have many friends.  But this is all about writing in order to practice, right? So that's what I'm doing, I'm a teacher here in Brazil and I teach basic English. I also have a blog dedicated to Brazilian people where I write about expressions, idioms, etc. I ttry to use puns to add a little bit of humor because I think it's important to have fun while learning.
I also have a Facebook page where I share my blog posts and English tips.
I used to be a big fan of Twitter as well, but nowadays I'm more into Facebook. I believe there's more interaction there.
I'm here to practice my speaking because I really stink at it. I thought at the beginning of my studies, that listening and reading were more important than speaking and writing. I still think to a certain extent that those two skills should be given more attention when someone decides to learn a second language. However nowadays I believe that one should also practice their speaking as soon as possible. Starting to useu what you've already learned is the ideal scenario.
So if I could make some friends here, ideally fluent people, that would be great!
That's it for now!

A little bit about me

Well, I'm not good with words. When iTalki invited me to write something here I thought what I would write for people to read since I'm not an interesting person. I don't have many travel experiences or funny ones. I don't have best friends or friend. But this is all about writing in order to practice, right?. So that's what I'm doing. I'm a teacher here in Brazil and I teach basically people who are beginners. I mean, I teach English. I have a blog dedicated to Brazilian people. There I write about expressions, idioms, etc using puns to add a little bit of humor cause I think it's important to have fun while learning.
I also have a Facebook page where I share my blog posts and English tips.
