First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hi, I'm Alex, 42 and single. I would like to improve my English skills; mainly in listening and of course improving vocabulary.
I have some problems with prepositions.
My mother language is Brazilian Portuguese. I grew up in Brazil but I have already lived in Germany for four years. I use to travel a lot around Europe; mainly Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Germany.
My hobbies are reading (I'm reading the 5th book of 'Game of the Thrones - A Dance with Dragons'. It is quite hard to read it in English!), playing games on computer, jogging and of course doing nothing at the beach. :)
Feel free to ask any questions if you want something else.
Greetings from Brazil.

Eu gostei da primeira aula de Português.
I practiced several phrases, such as:
Prazer em conhecê-la.
Qual é seu nome?
Falo algumas palavras de Português.
I learned a long list of palavras:
cachorro = dog
acento til = ~ (a palavra acento escreve-se com apenas um c)
acento circunflexo = ^
acento agudo = ´
estado = state
cidade = city
país = country (not to be confused with pais = parents)
irmã = sister
irmão = brother
mãe = mother
pai = father
...
Too many to list! Eu vou escrever no meu bloco de notas.
O nome da minha universidade é DePauw. O nome da minha gata é Kiko. Eu moro com minha gata Kiko em meu apartamento. Eu tenho 27 (vinte e sete) anos. Eu moro na cidade de Indianapolis em da Indiana nos Estados Unidos.
Eu tenho uma irmã e um irmão. O nome da minha irmã é Alexis. O nome do meu irmão é Derek. O nome da minha mãe é Sheila. O nome do meu pai é Jim.
Agora no Brasil é verão e está muito calor. Agora no Estados Unidos é inverno e está muito frio.As preposições em Português podem ser combinadas com artigos:
eu moro na (em+a) cidade de Indianápolis
eu sou de Indianápolis
eu moro em Indiana
eu sou de Indiana
eu moro nos (em+os) Estados Unidos
eu sou dos (de+os) Estados Unidos
