I'm just right here dancing around to the rhythm. The rhythm that you play when you're breaking my heart. I know that I can't get you out of my system. You're right from the start, you played with my heart. I'll be singing la la la la la you're breaking me la la la la la.

Challenge for learning new vocabularies
Sometimes learn new vocabularies can seems easy. Must of the time you have just to remember the word and the meaning, except pharsal verbs that we have different context to use it and the meaning can be different on each one of them. But can you remind all of the words you have learned?
We have so many different strategies to remind words that we have learned, such as write down them, using apps, making a list or anything else that can help us remind different words and become us more flexible to respond/ask a question in any situation or to become more comfortable to have a conversation in English. The challenge begin when you have to remind every new word you have learned when you are having a conversation. For exemple, I was taking a class with my tutor on Italki and he said the word "pleasure", I was sure that I have heard that word before but I couldn't remember the meaning because It's has been a long time since the last time I heard it.
So I think that is the point: make sure you will practice every new words that you have learned and try to do use them in different situations. Vocabularies just make sense when you use it, not only write them down.

The big day!
Today I have finally started planning my exchange to USA. It's an exchange called "work experience", this program is not for studying English so you need to have good knowlegde in Engilsh in order to get a job interview and work there. My plan is staying there for about four months (this program allow you stay there for five months). I can't spend more time there because I still study at university and this exchange is for a short period.
I can't say how much I'm looking forward to having this experience. I mean, I've been waiting for that for years and now I could take it for the paper and start paying and get all of documents that I need. Wish me luck! :D

Is it possible to become fluent without moving to a foreign country?
I mean, sometimes I feel little bit bored or frustrated studying English by books, movies, texts or learning grammar in class. I try to spend 1 hour per day to improve my English but I feel like I will never become fluent that way. Now I return my lessons on Italki and I have one class each week and I feel much better talking with my tutors even though I don't understand everything what they say. I'm trying to plan an exchange to Irland or Canada maybe, but I know I have to save a lot of money to do that.
If you guys have any suggestion to make me feel more fluent or improving skills in English, please, let me know. I'm looking forward to hear from you.

How to keep motivated at home
We watch all the time on TV news about coronavirus: how many people died, numbers of people who become infected. This whole bad news can stay us a bit nervous, sad or anxious. We have to keep in mind that we need to stay home and look after ourselves and our family. Here in Brazil it's been two months of isolation and I've been a little anxious about the future, about my body and my mind. So, I've thought: what could I do to keep motivated and take care of my psychological?!
I've started doing things I couldn't do If I were out. Nowadays I can spend more time studying English, I can watch my favorite series and now I try watch one movie per day. Also I try to keep my body in shape doing some exercices at home.
I am really sure that everything will change when this situation is over and we have to stay prepared and motived to face up all changes. On the other hand, I will finally hang out with our friends, family and any person we've missed. Make sure you are enjoying this time to reflect about your life and your actions. Make sure you are talking through video call, chat or calling to your people and show them how we can stay together even though far away.

Isolation
To be honest it's been a bit boring staying home all the time. On the other hand, I have much time to prepare for college and study English. Unfortunately I could not take more classes on Italki for while because the price of the dollar here in Brazil is too low. Because of the current situation around the world our economy has been affected. Before the pandemic I could take classes for about 50, 60 reais, but now I spend about 90, 100 reais each class. It's too expensive. Then I've been finding out ways to improve and practice my English skills like watching TV series in English, learning new words and grammar. I still have difficulty in my conversation skills considering that Italki is the only way that I can practice speaking in English. Right now, I am here writing to practice another skill. I love to do exercise as well but, I don't know how to keep myself motivated. I don't feel motivated in doing exercises at home. These last days I just want to stay in bed watching TV and playing games. I'm looking forward to going out and seeing my friends, getting back to work and talking to people.
