Facing my fears Hello everyone, My name is Andre, I have 29 years old, I'm a portuguese native speaker and I try to learn English. I'll start my history tell you a little bit about my experience with English. I never studied English on tradicional course or with a teacher, I learn a little that I know by my self. One thing that helps me a lot to learn was travel to USA with, in that time, my girlfriend that now is my wife. When we arrived at the JFK airport and listened everybody speak another languages, I loved that and after this I try to study all the times that I can. Usually I study trough podcast, youtube videos, in this moment I'm trying to read Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone and I convert all things around me to English and now with italki I'll try another challenge for me that is speak, because I think that I have some king of lock to talk in English, but I'll try. Thank you, see you later.
