First notebook entry: Introducing myself I'm learning English because I want to be as "global" as possible. :-) I think it's easier to communicate to the world using English. To make some friends, to travel around the world... I can read English well, but I have some problems to express myself. So, I'm here to practice my writing skill and maybe my speaking skill. My native language is Brazilian Portuguese, and I would like to help other people to learn or improve their skill on this language. Here are some of my hobbies and interests, with no particular order (as you can see, I'm a kind of a hobby-hunter :-)): - computers (programming, network...): I'm graduate in computer science. - read good books: I would like to improve my english to read more books in their original language. - play drums: well... I'm a newbie, but I like to play some easy songs. - draw, it started to recreate my kid, but became an addiction. - aggressive inline skating: it started when I was 15 years old, and I'm still skating (it's my favorite hobby!). - origami: I started with this as a pass time when I have to wait for something, and I learned some beautiful origamis. - play with my kid: I have only one kid, but my wife is pregnant!!! I'm so happy because of it! - well... I have some other hobbies (e.g.: rubik's cube) but I'm stopping now. Otherwise no one will spend his/her time to read this post. :P I hope we can share our knowledge here! ;-)
