Olá! I'm an American student living in North Carolina and studying to get my masters in public health. I've been studying Portuguese since July, 2014 and I'm hoping italki can help me with my pronunciation and conversation abilities. I speak Spanish fluently so I'm able to pick up the grammar and vocabulary pretty quickly, but my Portuguese pronunciation is a struggle! Ajudem-me, por favor!

    World Cup at in my country

    I'm liking I like the World Cup that is happensing now in Brazil, but I think my country is having for a lot of troubles. (I'm not exactly sure what you want to say here, try "but I think my country has a lot of problems" or "but I think my country is going through a lot of problems because of it")

    Firstly I'll tell you about the good part of the World Cup.

    Beyond to what is happening at to my country, I have always liked to play and to watch soccer.

    My passion for soccer started at in 1992 when São Paulo FC, a brazilian team played against the great Barcelona FC during the World Championship and São Paulo won by for 2 x 1.

    On The next year, 1993, they won their second championship, this time over AC Milan from Italy. Moreover at in 1994, Brazil won the World Cup in the USA.

    After this series of great wins winners, I didn't have another other option beyond but to like soccer.

    At In 2003 or 2004, I heard that the 2014 World Cup would be played in Brazil. I had (and I have still) a lot of doubts if Brazil can to do a great sportings event, as Europeans and Asian countries.

    Today I saw a group of Croatians and yesterday I saw a lot of Dutch walking on at Paulista Avenue, the mainly avenue of São Paulo and I'm happy for these people, because for them everything is a party in at Brazil.

    However for Brazilians this Cup represents one only one thing: Corruption of governors government (or government leaders.  Governors in US English refers to the elected leaders of individual states).

    There is a lot of money that must be used at on education, health, security,... however this money was spent to build stadiums. Anyway, the problem is not the World Cup, but the people who run the country.

    So, I hope the World Cup will be a great event and that our governors government leaders die soon >=) (a little strong, maybe "that our government leaders are removed from power" - but that's just social commentary :) )

    Technical Degree in Visual Communications - Graphic Design

    After two and a half years the day has finally arrived, and a lot of things happened during that time. I met friends, new teachers and learned so many things as a professional and person. I have met people during these last three years that I will never forget, people that believed in me and gave me strength and hope. It wasn't easy to get to this point because of so many challenges, but I always said to myself "I can't give up" and I never gave up. This past April 11th I graduated as a technician in visual communications and now I'm a professional.
