Watching movies in English I always try to watch movies in English with English subtitles and I enjoy it, but sometimes seems like subtitles are not good for my improvement in the language. When we are watching something with subtitles we don't pay too much atention in the voices what makes our listening a little weaker than should be without them.

First time in the USA I would like to tell you a bit more about my first experience in the USA. I always loved to speak in English and I thought that would be easy do that in the USA, but was not. It's easier for me try to speak here in Brazil because deep in my mind I know that these people are not native speakers. However in the USA I was kind of shy, fearing be judged in every word that I tried to say. I stayed 25 days in the USA and until my last day I could not had a conversation in English. In the airplane back to my home I find some polite woman that started a conversation and was the best 3 hours of my travel. I didn't know that I could have this kind of talk with my English level. I must confess I had some problems, most of them with vocabulary, but the words that I didn't knew was not a problem because I could deliver the main idea. Thank you! Hope that I can find some friends here!
