I teach English at an American university, and am especially interested in improving my Spanish for both work and self-edification. Would love to know what fluency in another language feels like. Twitter: lynkini

    Why I didn't learn English at school

    When I was a child, the teachers at my school couldn't speak English. The same teacher taught us Maths and English, for example, but they didn't use to have a degree to teach in this the English language.
    So, we only learned to write the irregular verb list (perhaps, "write irregular verbs"), but not their pronunciation or syntactic rules.
    Nowadays, kids at school have well-prepared teachers, and I hope they don't have the same problems as I do in writing a short text when they begin to use atalki in a few years.

     

    Good start! English grammar takes a lot of time to learn, but your writing is understandable, which is important.

    I agree with the other comments. However there's one odd exception, "persons of interest," which is something that you might hear if you watch the news in English. The phrase is often used by the police in discussions about criminal investigations.

    Brazil's Movement

    Hi everybody! How are you? I'm fine, actually, I'm very happy. Somebody can If you ask me why, and I'll explain. A week ago, we Brazilians started a movement. This happened because our politicians have embezzled a lot of public money. We are among the highest paying tributes Country in the World (rephrase, maybe to "We pay some of the highest taxes in the world") and instead of this our money going to public health, education, or transportation etc, with this money family's politicians are using it to travel oh the world, and buy imported cars, buy farms, and etc other personal expenses. Our citizens are dying for suffering due to the lack of doctors, lack and even of food (...). So I'm really happy, because my country "woke up." We are expressing about our rights. This is a pacific peaceful movement! You can tell me, "I saw many people loot and wreck public place" and i will tell you that these people aren't protesters..they are hooligans and looters who is enjoying are taking advantage of this moment..somebody believes that this people were infiltrating by the government. On Thursday we've been more than 1 million of peolple in street of the Rio de Janeiro. I'm so glad. I hope for a new Brazil, that this new Brazil will be knowing because be known for its quality of education, development, and quality of hospital healthcare etc ..and not because the only for soccer, samba, carnaval, drugs and prostitution!!!

     

    Wow, what an interesting post! Thanks so much for sharing your insights. I also hope that Brazil will someday be known for much more than sports and its current political troubles.

    Pensamientos del verano pasado Parece una mentira que hace un año yo fui a España por un mes. Y no he dejado de pensar de mi tiempo allí. Entonces aunque este verano con mi familia en Hawaí es tranquilo y divertido, echo de menos mis amigos en Vitoria-Gasteiz mas que pude esperar o imaginar. Mi viaje me enseñó la importancia de apreciar mis amigos íntimos y su cultura única, y especialmente la idea que el futuro no es predecible o controlable. Ahora, hago un esfuerzo para reducir mis expectativas, no solo para evitar la decepción, sino para aumentar el disfrute.
