My first notes here. I am studying English alone. My first language is Portuguese and I have been in US for one year. I live in a small town close to Salt Lake City - Utah. I started to learn English in an English Second Language, but I did not like it and I stopped. It was so weak!!! I thought I was losing my time. Then I decided learn trough informal way, but I recognized I was not learning. The people around me never corrected me, so I never improve my language. Now I am taking an on-line course. My major difficulty is verbs as Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Future Perfect, everything is Perfect. I need more vocabulary too and I need people to talk to me and correct me. Sometimes I want to talk fast and my sentences come out wrongly. And I get very anxious and frustrated. But I think this is the normal process. Please, correct me! And thanks for read!
