A Brazilian friend on italki
There was a day when I was wandering on italki to read something and trying to catch an idea to write an entry, I had got a message from a Brazilian guy. I wasn't impressed in his message and also his profile. It was my lazy day too then I didn't intend to reply him. He did send me other messages to express that he wanted to help me with English. I started to reply him and tried to tell him that I had no time to chat at that time. I thought he would give up but he didn't. He told me about his convenient time to talk to and hope to talk to me soon.
When I was back home after a long day. He caught me on skype and up to this point I couldn't ignore him anymore. He was amazing. I would have regretted if I kept ignoring him.
He is good at either British English or American English. He told me normal things in life and compared between Vietnam and Brazil. I don't feel like I am learning anything while we are talking but when I talk with other partners I have realized that I'm using the phrases, words and grammars which he used to talk with me. It's amazing.
I think I am very lucky to meet him that day. There are always somethings good to keep me move forward when I feel tired and want to stop. I am a lucky person.

A Brazilian friend on italki
One day I was wandering on italki reading things and looking for ideas for something to write, when a Brazilian guy wrote me a message. I wasn't impressed by his message or by his profile. I was lazy, too, so I didn't intend to answer him. He sent other messages saying he wanted to help me with English. I started to reply to him and tried to tell him that I had no time to chat with him at that time. I thought he would give up but he didn't. He told me about his convenient times to talk to and hoped to talk to me soon.When I was back home after a long day, he caught me on skype and now I could no longer ignore him. He was amazing.
