Hi, my name is Paloma, and I'm from Boa Vista, Roraima, Brasil. I'm looking for friends and develop my english. Actually, I'm looking for a language exchange partner and also help somebody teaching portuguese, if there is any interested. Brasil is so big and beautiful and the people have a peculiar energy. I am sure that anyone will like to know my country, it's amazing. I study International Relations at Universidade Federal de Roraima. I really like to learn others languages and meet new people. So here I am. And... that's it.

    Italki: an interesting tool to shorten the world. What is your experience with Italki?

    I can't be more excited about something than I'm with Italki. It's only the most interesting tool that you can use for meet people, and learn more about yourself while you are trying to describe your culture or language for another person, who has a lot for share with you too. Today I met wonderful people from differents countries that I never thought that I would meet somebody from. How great is hear about those stories, and know about a people so far away and know about a distant reality, make you think about some things...

    I guess I said a lot about my expirience in this website. So, what is your experience with Italki? What is the most interesting thing that happened with you since you are using this tool?

    Hi! Well, here in Brazil, I heard something about snakes in dreams means that a betrayal is coming... But I don't believe that it really will happens, I guess it's more like the other person said, that you may dreamed because your unconscious remember you that you don't trust in someone, and this person who you don't trust seems like a snake for you (like a animal you don't like and you can't trust).

    But there are so much people here in Brazil who really believe that a dream can be a message for us keeping alert, a way for us knowing about the future. I think the indonesians maybe think in the same way (this is true?). This is a very interesting topic of conversation. :)

    Caryn, my dream always was study in Canada! Unhapply I can't untill now, but Canada still fascinates me =)

    Diego, here in Brazil we have those 13 years that should be mandatory. Unhapply there are so many people (adult people) in my country that still don't know to read or write. But, in recent years, the government has been engaged to change this sad reality, and the situation is getting better, what is really really nice. 

    So, in Colombia the masters degree lasts 3 years or more? Wow! That is interesting indeed! Here the doctorate is so much longer than masters degree. 

     

    See you, guys! Nice to talk to you!

    I believe the other person abouve answered your question very well. But when you say "usar luto" speaking of clothes for funerals, it is closely related to the black. So you usually will prefer use black clothes in this case, but when you will tell anybory how you feel, you can say "eu estou de luto" to express how much you're sad to lose the person you loved. Espero ter ajudado. If you have another question, just ask. Bons estudos!

    Hi, Diego! This is a very interesting topic. I always wondered how the education system works in another countries. Here in Brazil, we have 9 years of elementary school (ensino fundamental), and 4 years of middle school or high school (ensino médio). There are schools for technical career, called "escolas técnicas", but they usually are high schools that offer also technology courses parallel to the high school, like the Federal Technical Institute (IFET) for example. I guess in that case the high school must last around five years.

    Then we have the universities (universidades), which may be public or private. The courses which are offer last four or five years. After we have specialization (especialização), during one or two years. But you can make a masters degree (mestrado) without a specialization. A masters degree lasts two years. After we have a doctorate degree, more four years. And after we have the post-doctorate, but I don't know exatly how many years it will lasts (I guess may be two years, maybe more, I don't know). 

    So that is how the education system works here in Brasil. Nice to meet you! See ya!
