    Well, I have a problemto learn a second language because there are sounds that is very hard I pronounce. For listening I listen most of the time radio and watch TV with and without subtitles. I try only listen radio about news, not music, and only that has transcripts. For speaking I try to talk with people here on this website and read aloud some text. And get some books about pronuciation that helps so much to identify the sounds.

    Writing is my weakness, I started doing copy of text and worked very well for me. Because I could identify the structure. Besides, I get some text and highlight the struture and phrasal verbs and collocations.

    I try to read everything that I find. Since books until magazines.

    Learning a second language People believe that children learn more easier a foreigh language than adults. This fact has a scientific explanation. The part of the brain responsible for communication is developed during the first years of childhood. The other charactristc is children don't have concerns to make mistakes when they talk about something. However, adults are able to learn a language with more refinements because they learn grammar, know to read. Accent is the other problem that adults have when they learn a second language. Because they don't have some muscles developed to pronounce some specific sounds that some languages demanded. It is not dounbt that the best age to study a second language is during the childrood, but if people haven't had this opportunity before, they can learn anytime in their life.

    Meu feriado

    O título soa como se eu tivesse  em uma aventura, mas não. Eu fiquei em Nashville, e trabalhei, mas dei uma pausa no italki. Não foi de propósito. Na segunda-feira, eu não sabia o que escrever. Na terça estava atrasado para o trabalho. E não me lembro porque não escrevi na quarta e ontem. Talvez, eu perdi a energia por um espaço curto de tempo. Mas não foi para sempre! Eu voltei.

    Ainda tenho o problema que não sei o que escrever... Ontem à noite, terminei o livro de Philip Pullman, mas não acho que tenho o vocabulário  necessário ou mesmo o tempo para recapitular. Hoje, começo ler "Don Quixote." É um livro de bem longo. Longo demais, mas acho que eu  posso recapitular este livro enquanto eu leio. Não tem a mesma magia comparado ao "Clockwork", e as coisas mágicas são o que torna a descrição do livro difícil.

    A Funny experience that I had When I arrived in Australia I did not imagine that there were so many big spiders. One day I was cooking in my home and there was a party. I was prepared the food for the people. Then, my friend asked me to see something in the table lamp. All the people were around me. And when I looked at the table lamp I saw a huge brown spider. I screamed, of course. And, everybody laughed. But, the worst was my friend who got the spider and started ran behind me with the spider in his hand. People talk about that all the time that they catch up with me.

    Learning a language I think is very difficult to learn a second language when you are old. When are young our brain is like a sponge, absorbs everything. In my opinion, speaking is very hard because there are sounds that we have never used before. I put a goal that I need to improve my English as soon as possible. So I try to practice English everyday. My weaknesses are speaking and writing and because this I start here. I hope my experience on this website will be great.
