こんにちは, 私はSanです. 大家好我叫San. I'm originally from Brazil but have lived in Australia for 20+ years. I love learning, music, photography, art, technology, 3D, people, and cultures. 日本語を少し話せると 、我也会说中文一点. 'Português do Brasil' is my native language. I'm proficient in English, I can speak broken Spanish and very basic French, which is currently high on my list. Language, to me, is a passion. My goal is to raise it to a decent conversation level so that I can bring it from hobby to work. Want to collaborate? Great, let's learn together. Cheers, talk soon - San

二月最后一天，我们聊了聊“中药咖啡”。我也知道了一个新词，对很淡的咖啡，可以说“茶咖”。🍵☕ 我会发送一些好吃的面包😄🥨🥐

今天聊到一些味道很怪的食物，比如Vegemite酱和腐乳。🧉😮我们也继续学习了课本，读完了第九课的课文，了解了关于表达日期的句型。📕 下次再继续学习，加油！

    这周我做了一个有趣的梦. 我在太空中，就在地球上方。 我可以看到地球有多圆。 我害怕飘走，因为没有重力，所以我非常小心地移动得很慢. 我拿了一个带有地图应用程序的设备，一个虚拟助手说："你好，我叫本。 我可以告诉你去加拿大的路"。我松了一口气，回答说，"是的，那太好了，谢谢"。 方向出现在应用程序中，我可以从太空看到地球上的加拿大。回到车上(时)，我醒了。 Now, why Canada? No idea. Anyway, new words for me: 有趣的梦 yǒuqù de mèng - interesting dream 地球上方 - (This one makes no sense to me. 方 translates as square, way or direction) 圆 Yuán - Round 飘 Piāo - To float / 飘走 piāo zǒu = float away 重力 Zhònglì - Gravity 移动 Yídòng - To move 带有 Dài yǒu - have, involve 应用 Yìngyòng - app 程序 Chéngxù - program 虚拟助手 xūnǐ zhùshǒu - virtual assistant 松 Sōng - Relax 出现 Chūxiàn - appeared 醒 Xǐng - To wake / 醒来 Xǐng lái

    I'm going to Tokyo Disney Resort. So, I'm on a train / I'm on the train (now) / on my way. I made an original headband. I'm looking forward to it :) (楽しみにしています) - eg. I'm looking forward (to doing sth) eg. eating, riding, taking pictures etc. I want to eat lots of food, ride many attractions, and take pictures!

    1. Purportedly - something presented as true, alleged (but you don't really know whether it is) 2. Putative - something you assume/accept to exist or to be (again, it may not be true) 3. Reputedly - Something people say or believe, eg. supposedly. It is based on a general opinion (again, not necessarily true) 4. Supposedly = Reputedly. Great words. I had to Google most to make sure I understood it too.

    I wouldn't use the word incompetent. I'd probably say something like "although I'm just/still a beginner..."; "I'm aware this is just the beginning..."; "even though I still have so much to learn...". Is that what you mean?

    上周这边有一个长周末，因为星期一是劳动节 (láodòng jié, Labour Day)。我们去露营 (lùyíng, camping)，发现手机没有信号。 我的朋友们抱怨说 (bàoyuàn shuō, complain)，但我认为 (rènwéi, think) 看到人们远离(away)他们的设备(shèbèi, device)并(Bìng, and/also)相互(Xiānghù, mutual)联系(Liánxì, connect)真是太好了。 很多新词。 两天后我会记得吗...? Hmmm :)

    Yesterday, I helped facilitate a conversation with a group of Chinese immigrants willing to improve their English, on a volunteer program similar to English Corner. While their English is not perfect, they could say and understand pretty much everything. Okay, Webster dictionary defines fluent as "being capable of using a language easily and accurately". Still, what some call "broken English", I'll call it "heck, great English", thinking that's fluent enough to me. If I could speak Chinese as much as they can speak English, I'd be celebrating. 加油！
