How I started learning English Hello! This is my first entry here and I'm looking forward for corrections. Today I'm going to write about how I started learning English. Actually, my history with English language have a strong connection with my favorite hobby: listen to music. I'm from Brazil and I had never enjoyed brazilian music, like "sertanejo", "samba", "funk", etc. When I was a teenager, I started listening a brazilian rock band called "Pitty", and I loved it. So this band introduced me to listen rock and metal, but it's common that we listen musics from others countries, especially with lyrics in English. I think lyrics in English sounds so much better. So I started listening a lot of famous bands at that time, like System of a Down, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Korn and Evanescence (my favorite one). Since then, I love listening to music and reading the lyrics at the same time, trying to sing (actually I love singing, but it's sounds horrible, haha). This is how I felt in love with the English language. Now I'm studying English because I'm living abroad (in the Netherlands) and I want to live and work in others countries. I think my country is a bit great (not much), but I want to live in a lot of diferent places in my life time. I've got an adventurous soul and I like moving a lot :D Bye for now :)

How I started learning English

Hello!
This is my first entry here and I'm looking forward for to corrections.

Today I'm going to write about how I started learning English.

Actually, my history with the English language have has a strong connection with my favorite hobby: listening to music.

I'm from Brazil and I had have never enjoyed Brazilian music, like "sertanejo", "samba", "funk", etc. When I was a teenager, I started listening to a Brazilian rock band called "Pitty", and I loved it. So this band introduced me to listen rock and metal, but it's common that we listen to musics from others countries, especially with lyrics in English. I think lyrics in English sounds so much better. So I started listening to a lot of famous bands at that time, like System of a Down, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Korn and Evanescence (my favorite one).

Since then, I love listening to music and reading the lyrics at the same time, trying to sing (actually I love singing, but it's it sounds horrible, haha). This is how I felt fell in love with the English language.

Now I'm studying English because I'm living abroad (in the Netherlands) and I want to live and work in others countries. I think my country is a bit great (not much), but I want to live in a lot of different places in my lifetime. I've got an adventurous soul and I like moving a lot :D

Bye for now :)
