A little bit about me
Well, I'm not good with words. When iTalki invited me to write something here I thought what I would write for people to read since I'm not an interesting person. I don't have many travel experiences or funny ones. I don't have best friends or friend. But this is all about writing in order to practice, right?. So that's what I'm doing. I'm a teacher here in Brazil and I teach basically people who are beginners. I mean, I teach English. I have a blog dedicated to Brazilian people. There I write about expressions, idioms, etc using puns to add a little bit of humor cause I think it's important to have fun while learning.
I also have a Facebook page where I share my blog posts and English tips.
I used to be a big fan of Twitter as well, but nowadays I'm more into Facebook. I believe there's more interaction there.
I'm here to practice my speaking cause I really stink at it. I thought at the beginning of my studies, that listening and reading were more important than speaking and writing. I still think to a certain extent that those two skills should be given more attention when someone decides to learn a second language. However nowadays I reckon that they should also practice their speaking as soon as possible. Starting using what you've already learned is the ideal scenario.
So if I could make some friends here (ideally fluent people) that would be great!

- First notebook entry: Introducing myself I'm learning English. I'm an English teacher and that's why I should be fluent. I want to feel confident enough and I need your help, guys. I've been studying by myself for a long time and speaking is one of the abilities I'd like to improve. My native language is Portuguese and I grew up in Brazil. I enjoy surfing....the internet. :D Actually I'm addicted to it. I like working out. Music and movies. My kind of music? Old..hehe Rock'n'roll, blues, jazz anything from the 70s, Disco music and so on.January 16, 201300
