After all, does the accent matter?
I know, I know! Here comes again that accent talk! Bla-bla...
Some people are too shy or are afraid to start a conversation due to their accent, on the other hand, some people just do NOT care!
So let's take this straight to the point!
What is the main purpose of communication? Isn't it to send a message? So, if the locutor and the receptor are understanding each other, it´s FINE! You don't have to be worried if you are out of rhythm or if your intonation sounds different or funny. It's perferctly normal and expected. See, each person have learned a peculiar way to communicate since the early years, then what's more expected than this? Each one has his own personal way to talk!
Of course, if you have a heavy accent, then perharps you might have some little troubles. But be patient and take it slow. I'm sure this is only going to take the experience more personal and interesting.
By the way, I think accents are very charming and cute! So, open your mouth and mind, for God's sake, and show us your accent!
The rest is all nonsense.

What did Metallica and Sepultura have in common recently?
Hello, partner!
If you're a headbanger, you probably know what I'm talking about. If you don't, then check this out:
Recently, these two metal bands recorded new albums that, coincidentally, deal with the same theme: tecnology addiction and the domain of machines!
While Metallica recorded (after nine years since their last album "Death Magnetic") their new album "Hardwire... to Self-Destruct", Sepultura was recording the acclaimed "Machine Messiah".
Songs like "Hardwired", "ManUNkind" and "Spit out the Bone" in Metallica's new album brought the idea of the path straight to tecnology dependence. Speaking of Sepultura's new album, you get the same idea on the songs "Phantom Self", "Cyber God" and "I am the Enemy" (that song is pretty awsome, by the way).
If you are a "pop music" enthusiastic, here is some advice: this will blow your mind, so take it easy! If you're a headbanger and still don't listen, you better take a look, because this is going to blow your mind too!
Long live to the Metallica and Sepultura! \m/

What it's like to be a Manchester United fan in Brazil.
Yeah! You did read right!
The Manchester United Football Club, or, as they're also known, the "Red Devils", is one of the most popular football clubs in the world! There are a lot of Red Devils fans here in Caipirinha country, but it's also the football country, by the way!
For sure, like almost everyone here, we do have our football teams since we were born. Though, in this case, it's more than just to be a fan, it's an identity. If you didin't get it, I'll explain to you: here in Brazil, I'm "Cruzeirense", what is much more than just "be a Cruzeiro's supporter". Sounds like a patriotism.
Anyway, that doesn't restrain you from cheering for a football club outside of Brazil.
So, I've been a ManUtd fan for a while. To be more specific, since 2008, when they won the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. I can even remember the squad: CR7, Tevez, Park, Giggs, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar, Evra, Carrick, Vidic, Anderson and the most talented player in the world: Wayne Rooney. What a team! What an era! The rein of the Sir Alex Ferguson!
Who knows, one day, I might go to Old Trafford to see the greatest football club in the world, the Red Devils.
Tell me, what football club do you support?
Cheers!

About learning english with comic books
Hi, everyone!
I've had a nice experience learning english through comic books! Since I've started, my argument has getting better! I think it's because when you're reading comics, you're, actually, reading dialogues all the time. There is some narratives stuffs, of course, but, almost all the time what you read it's a character chatting with someone. And it's helps a lot! Mainly to learn prepositions and conjunctions. Try it! There is a lot of sites with comics in english. Choose one of your preference and enjoy it!
Come back after to tell me if it works and if you liked, okay? See ya!
