My english problems Hello guys! Today, I will talk about my grammar problems in study english. Well, I started to study english when I was 10 years old. One day, I bought a teen magazine and had a page with a Taylor Swift's song (You Belong With Me) and I was tried to sing :p Well, some years late I was contracted by my chemistry teacher to give english class in a preparatory course. My english was wonderful and I could speak, write and read without problems. Last year, I started to work with 2 another languages: spanish and french. Spanish 'cause I met my father and my paternal family and they are from Spain, and french because I love this language and I want to study in France in the future. The problem is: I don't have the same english perfomance that I had in the past. And this is very sad..... Everyday I speak alone (in english) in my room, listen to english songs, watching videos in english in the internet, watching movies... I'm reading good, but I'm not talking well! I hate it :( Maybe, this is because english is a very important language to me and now I'm preparing to do a very important english test - It's all psychological. So, how I can be more quiet? Please, help me!

Thank you, Eddie. E, Pedro, na verdade eu não menti. Eu realmente tinha um nível mais alto de inglês, por isso coloquei ele como fluente, porém com o tempo e com o estudo de outros idiomas, eu acabei deixando de praticar o idioma e acabei por apresentar desvios chatos na parte gramática, porém felizmente isso é algo que eu posso recuperar :) Ah, e o post foi feito para pedir apoio e não receber lembretes de que eu errei e tal. O iTalki é uma plataforma para aprender e ensinar, e claro, ser corrigido - porém, não dessa forma que eu fui corrigida.

At least now you don't lie like before saying English is your native language (:

I'm sure you've heard of Astrud Gilberto. She recorded a number of popular jazz songs in the 60s. She sang in English. Her voice was warm and engaging. No one knew that she couldn't speak English. She made all the right sounds, but she didn't know what she was saying. :-) I might be able to help you practice speaking.
