Becoming fluent in English Hi, how are you? First of all, this is my first notebook here at iTalki. Actually, this is the first time I write something public in English, so, I'll try to do my best in order to show my current skills and also, of course, show my mistakes, and for that, I hope someone point me the right directions to correct my mistakes. So, about my ideas on what I think would be to become a fluent English speaker. I believe that becoming fluent in English would open a lot of doors for me, both in professional and personal life. One thing that would be a dream-come-true for me would be working abroad, in an English-speaking country, like USA or Canada, and I also would want to be able to talk with English-speakers about almost every subject, in the same way I do in Portuguese, my native language. I work in IT field, so I have a daily contact with technical English manuals and articles, but sadly, I can't speak (or even write) in English, because at my job, nobody needs to use English, as our clients are all Brazilian. I'd want to have this oportunity, and I think the best way to achieve this would be travelling abroad and kind of forgetting Portuguese for sometime. I'm a self-taught student, and now I decided to take this as serious as I can, and my current goal is to become the closest to the fluency I can until the end of this year. I'm taking this as a challenge to myself. I hope I can find the support here at the iTalki community (and of course, I hope to be useful for someone who is trying to learn Portuguese). Thanks in advance.
