My first text
My name is Jonas Fernandes, and I live in Maceió-AL-Brasil. Not long ago, I started studying English little time, because I intend to work with in International logistics. I study Logistics on at the Technology College of Alagoas. I intend plan to travel to the USA and meet visit LA, San Fracisco, and many other places. I want to watch the games San jose EarthQuakes a game played by the San Jose Eartquakes, which is my favorite team in the USA. This is a bit of about my life and my first text in English. Thanks.

Hi everybody! =)
Previously I have told you about my problems with conversational English and about a nice guy named Robert who made me up to practice voice chat speaking via Skype. Well yes, that what which seemed so uncomfortable has turned into real pleasure!
Since that time, I have (since is used with present perfect) started to talk to different people, Americans mostly. Not only them, however. I don't just talk to native English speakers, but as for native, then yes, Americans are the majority :D I don't know why =) I think it's probably it's because Americans are more sociable and easier to talk than the Englishmen. Anyway, speaking with them has become the next step to my overcoming my conversational issues (no comma before because) because previously it was really hard for me to understand American pronunciation. It's still hard, though. I can't understand people from some regions very well. =(
From some people I have learned more than language. Some of my interlocuters conversation partners (?) are rather useless on at teaching, but they improve a certain of my personal skills my social skills(?) or and inspire me to self-perfection. Hope, we meet each other one day. =)
Of course, there are contacts in on my Skype who just annoy me, but I still keep talking to them, as seldom as it's possible, as I finding it too unimpolite to get them blocked them. I guess, it seems a kind of hypocritical, and it makes me afraid that some people do the same to me! I'm afraid of being annoyng indeed. Ughhh... I have to fix it!
But, thanksfully, the most of those whom I regularly speak with are very interesting and nice human beings! I'm absolutely glad be acquainted with them! Indeed =) Here and there they impress me a lot. =) There's a guy here on Italki whom I previously spoke with just by sending messages, but the last week we've got had the chance to talk via voice chat for the first time (time gap and work schedules, you know). He has utterly impressed me (I'm still impressed!) with his Russian! (hello, Jared, if you're reading this! XD) It's not perfect (his Russian, I mean), but his pronunciation is just fantastic! Not because he doesn't have any accent (actually he does, but it's pretty tiny!), but because he does sounds like my dear school friend! haha This guy has exactly the same intonations as she does =) That's really nice =) Of course, I would have never known about this fact if I had kept chatting with him only by text messages XD
Well, what should I say for this time now (?): my dear interlocuters (conversation partners?), thank you so much for your help with my English and for pleasure I get from our conversations!!!0 votedAugust 22, 20132The new nightmare..
Today I feel quite restless, because I have did not sleep well last night... I went to sleep rather late because I had a very nice conversation with my American friend, but that wasn't something unusual to me.. isn't anything unusual for me.
For all the day The whole day, I'd been suffering with from a lack of oxygen, so, probably that became was the reason for my bad dreams...I felt fell asleep in a trice quickly, but then I was awakened by a nightmare...instant nightmare! I say it this (In English we don't need a comma before "because" like in Russian) because if I see dreams I think you mean "If I remember my dreams" or "When I have dreams" Видеть сон = to dream they're nightmares moreover than often more often than not...and they are usually just the same..but this new one scared me indeed!
I woke up in at four in the morning and was trying to get calm for a while, but anywаy I felt disturbed and couldn't sleep soundly...
So I had got up before my alarm clock started to go off, and felt a bit uneasy =(0 votedAugust 21, 20132
