    I believe that WHICH word you will only use when you give options to chose:
    Which ice cream flavor do you like: chocolate or vanilla?
    Which place would you like to visit first, Milan or Rome?

    With WHAT you don't need to give options:
    What type of music do you like?
    What is your favorite movie of all times?

    Does it make sense? :)

    Hello, Sylvia! I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English. We could exchange knowledge! I'm helping a guy from Maine already and he is helping me with my conversation/speaking, so... If you want some help about pronunciation, grammar, etc. I may help you (and the others too, if they wish so!

    [olá, Sylvia! Sou Brasileira e estou estudando Inglês. Nós poderíamos trocar conhecimentos! Já estou ajudando um cara do Maine e ele está me ajudando na minha conversação e fala, então... Se você quiser alguma ajuda de pronúncia, gramática, etc. eu posso ajudá-la (e aos outros também, se eles quiserem!]

    Send me a message and I'll give you my Skype ID.

    Best regards, Ester

    Teachers and friends have told me I have a neutral accent, that I don't speak with Brazilian accent. So, talking with people from different nations is easier for me, because all of them can understand me. And, in other hand, I'm learning listening to their strong accents.

    Da música brasileira gosto de Bossa Nova, Chorinho, MPB (música popular brasileira), sertaneja de raiz.

    Mas o que gosto mesmo é de Rock (Queen, Rush, Nixons, Marron 5, Muse, Imagine Dragons, Legião Urbana, Skank...) e música clássica (Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart...)

    Book exercises.

    Eu estou começando a prática de exercícios deste livro. O nome do livros é "Ensine-se Português de iniciante. '
    ( English: Teach yourself Beginner's Portuguese. )

    - Eu sou dos Estados Unidos.
    - (o, que posso escrever / dizer.. ) Eu sou da América?

    - Eu nasci na América, mas meus pais nasceram na Índia.

    ( IF I am asking someone else these questions: ) Se eu perguntar a alguém estas questões:

    Qual é o seu trabalho? (opção: com o que você trabalha?) De onde você é? Onde você mora atualmente?

    ( MY Answers ) minhas respostas

    Eu tento conjugar os verbos para outras pessoas. Eu sempre preciso praticar com conjugação verbal.

    - Eu trabalho numa escola para as crianças.

    - Meu irmão é um doutor (Eu não sei como se diz isso exactamente?) Ele é muito inteligente, trabalhadora, e ele gosta de ciências e matemática. (<em>tecnicamente isto não estaria condizendo com nenhuma das perguntas feitas acima. No caso, você teria de responder: "moro atualmente nos Estados Unidos da América, onde nasci")</em>

    Eu vou tentar e ver o quanto eu posso melhorar com o meu Português.

    Eu adoraria que as pessoas me ajudassem e, especialmente, falantes nativos para me ajudar!

    Muito obrigada.

    OK, vamos começar. Vou começar por apenas fazendo um diário ou postar regularmente.

    A noruega

    Olá

    Meu nome é Ramon, sou holandês e tenho vinte e cinco anos.
    Eu tenho uma namorada de Hong Kong. Ela mora na Noruega agora, mas eu atualmente moro na Holanda.
    Eu não gosto desta situação, porque perco o convívio com ela. É muito díficil para mim assim, mas na próxima semana irei para a Noruega visitá-la. Gosto muito da cultura e da natureza da Noruega, mas a Noruega é muito cara (ou: na Noruega o custo de vida é muito alto).
    Sair para comer todos os dias não é possível. Os restaurantes são caros demais. Não é aceitável gastar dinheiro desta forma para mim. A Noruega é o país mais caro da Europa. Pode-me dizer o que impressão você tem da situaçao economica na Noruega? Apesar da Noruega ser muito cara, mas eu muito espero ansioso viajar para a Noruega :)

    I agree with RAY. We can not think that all English natives are good in their grammar. There are a lot people who can't speak correctly.

    I may speak for Portuguese Brazilians natives. A lot of us just doesn't knows how to write the correct grammar. Of course that Portuguese is a complex language, but nowadays there is a lot of compliance with people speaking and writing in a defective Portuguese, because the government are saying that correcting them would be a prejudice' act (policitically incorrect) against the poor people (and there are a lot of discussion about it). So, perhaps with English it would be the same...

    I particularly would pratice with non-natives for sure, because learning their own accents will improve my listening and I may learn a lot about their own culture.

    Education - a fundamental instrument for every nation Its public knowledge that without education there is no future for a nation to grow and develop. However, Brazilian government does not seems to care about it. Despite its campaign saying they are prioritizing education, the population can't see any changes. Even when a kid is getting poor grades on school, the teacher can't reprobate him. The school has to have certain number of students approval. Some mothers pleads for reprobate their children because they know their kids aren't learning well enough to pass. But, the school says it can't do anything. They have to pass them to the next year. In consequence of the non-reprobation, kids are leaving the schools without understanding what they read and without knowing maths, physics. These are the adolescents who enter college. They can't even know how to interpret a text, how will they write a essay for graduation? And moreover, how can these young people be prepared to enter the labor market? They are not. Brazil has a lack of specialized workers because the schools can't prepare people whom does not have the most basic knoledges. This is one of the reasons why Brazil is receiving so many immigrants and so many older workers are still in the market. They can't retire. There is no one to substitute them. So, how the Brazilian government are pretending to increase and grow its economy? With what workers? The youth are not prepared. The elders are getting retired. The future is getting dark for Brazilian people...
