Colombia, earth of coffee

When I visited Colombia, a beautiful country with a variety of cultures, I exited Ecuador from Guayaquil City from Ecuador. The travel in bus trip lasted twenty four hours, and was very exhausting.
It was my first time outside my country, but the travel was worth it.
Colombia had different traditions, and cultures; for example, they dranking coffe about seven times a day.
I arrived in Silvia from Cauca Department. This was a cold town, but with warm and friendly people. It had a diversity of native languages and cultures like the Guambianos and Paeces, each one with yours clothing which distinguished amongst them.
Afterward, I arrived in Cali City, from Valley Cauca Department, which was very similar to Guayaquil in its hot climate. This area is known to have a lot of places which are very nice.
I hope to return very soon and to visit more places.

Hi! I am a new user to Italki. I'd like to improve my English and meet new friends who are learning English, too.

Learning French Again

When I was pursuing my undergraduate degree I took French as an elective course for several terms. I never thought it would be useful, I just liked this language. My priority was always to learn English accurately and flawlessly. That's why I thought that in order to be fluent in this language, I had to study it in an English-speaking country. This year, I learned that Australia is the only English-speaking country that does not demand for impossible requirements impossible to meet for Colombian students. Then, I thought "Oh, this is my destination". However, after doing the maths I realized it was a huge investment. When I told my relatives and my friends about my plans to go to study there, their reaction was like 'Seriously? Just to study English?'. At first, I thought they were trying to be mean to me. But, then they made me think of many things I had not considered because I was just too excited to go there. They helped me realize that it's a huge investment just to study English, and even if I worked in Australia I would lose a lot of money. Also, speaking English is only one of the requirements for getting a good job. Based on the experiences of some friends and acquaintances who went there, studying in an English-speaking country is not the best way to learn English since one will always be surrounded by other English-learners, just like in Colombia.
I thought about it for a long time and arrived at the conclusion they were right. Then, a French friend of mine told me to consider pursuing another master's degree in France. After all, French degrees are recognized in Colombia. I went to Campus France last week and I left the office conviced that this is a better option since I already have my DELF B2 certificate. So, I will resume studying French again, since my French is quite rusty.

Great job Camilo, your English is obviously very good! Going to France sounds exciting. Since your English is so good, I hope you'll continue to polish it while learning French as well.

Presentation Letter

I have a Bachelor's in System Engineering, and I finished my studies in the upper third of my class. Now I am studying English at ICPNA. I am in Advance Level 1. Also I am also studying Portuguese in order to take a master course in Brazil.
I have worked at two companies in software development. I accomplished my tasks doing my best. One of my abilities is that I am a quick learner. I developed my professional practices in my university; I worked on the development of a web evaluation system as a Team Leader. I have experience in , .NET, SQL Server, and PHP.
I would like to work in a company where I can grow and worked on innovative projects. Another goal that I have is to work in Europe or North America, which is why I am studying these languages.

Could you please recommend some English books?

I am reading, and it is a little hard for me. Could you please recommend some English books to me? Some that would be a little easier? Thanks a lot.

Personally, I might suggest "Stuart Little" by E.B. White. It's written for children, but still a wonderful book.

Let me introduce myself

My name is Luiz Paulo Kosuge and I'm 30 years old. I hope to learn others languages, starting with English.

I hope to find people interested in exchanging experiencies.

Let's do it together!

I'm ready.
