Jasmyn, nesses seis meses você -- que já chegou num nível altíssimo -- evoluiu tanto! Fico extremamente lisonjeado de poder ser seu amigo e professor; te admiro pela fluidez com que fala o idioma e o entusiasmo com que decidiu estudar uma língua que mesmo os brasileiros têm problemas para entender, haha. Espero que sua estadia no Brasil seja um momento positivamente inesquecível :-)

Jasmyn, você está fazendo alguma coisa legal com seu português -- mantendo-se em contato com o idioma, utilizando-o com mais frequência no dia a dia, ainda que não seja com livros de gramática por vezes chatos, você mantém uma fluência extremamente agradável e natural no idioma. Além disso, que assuntos engraçados :-) Agora que somos adultos, tudo o que queremos são facas e frigideiras que não grudem as coisas :-P

Bom rever você, Jasmyn, e ver que você continua se mantendo em contato com o idioma :-) Olha, não é por nada não, mas acho que você fala muito bem. Assista a programas de TV e anote todas as expressões interessantes. No Brasil, vai escutá-las muito frequentemente!

    Learning English

    I have study studied English for 3 years ago, but I can't leave the intermediate level..* It's so hard for me.
    I still can't understand what the people talk say in movies and series... is very quickly it's very fast  
    I love English, but I have difficulty hearing understanding it spoken. 


    * Another good way to express this is "I am stuck at an intermediate level" 


    Below is how I would say it: 

    I have been studying English for 3 years and I am stuck at an intermediate level. It's very hard for me and I still can't understand what people say in movies and tv series. They speak very fast. I love english but I have difficulty understanding it spoken.

    Nheengatu, the language spoken in Brazil

    Until the middle of the 18th century, the main language spoken in Brazil was the General Language, also known as the "Brasili Language".


    This language has was born from the due to the needs of the Jesuit Priests on to teach to the indians the true salvation of their souls, that they only could get if they knew about Jesus Christ.


     The Jesuits have thought that it could be better if they learn the Indian's Language, instead of teaching them the Portuguese.


    So, they tried to learn the natives language meanwhile the natives also wanted to learn portuguese, and from this mix of desires has born the General Language of Brazil was born.


    At the The first time that the Portugueses arrived to Brazil, they were too there were much more men than women, so they catched many indians women took many of the indian women as wife wives.


    The boys children who has were born from these marriages were raised listening to Portuguese and the Indian language.


    Few years ago A few years after, when the Africans were begun to be brought as slaves, they also gave their contribuition to a new language.


    This is a long history, but the most important thing is that this language has molded the way reason as the Brazilians speak portuguese so differently of  than the way that Portuguese people speak.

    To make this history short, the General Language was almost totally (completely) killed by the Portugueses at end of the 19th century and just only 19600 peoples (source: Wikipedia) know how to speak it. These people live mainly in the North of Brazil and they call that the language of Nheengatu.

    Português, o meu namorado, e outras coisas Oi gente. Estou aqui de novo para praticar o meu português. Estou viciada de aprender português porque é muito divertido. Conheci muitos brasileiros interessantes e além disso aprendi muitas coisas sobre a cultura. Eu pretendo morar no Brasil um dia porque eu tenho curiosidade de conhecer um lugar estrangeiro. Eu falo português todos os dias com os amigos e o meu namorado que é brasileiro. Ter um namorado de um outro país é muito interessante porque a gente tem muitas diferenças mas mesmo assim a gente tem muitos semelhanças. Uma coisa que acho muito estranho sobre o meu namorado é que ele gosta de comer muitas comidas diferentes ao mesmo tempo... tipo espaguete, ovo, bife, batata frita e salada. Não acho que essas comidas combinam mas ele jura que são gostosas juntas...

    It was enchanting to meet you...

    Corine was nice with to me since our first introduction since we first met. Always smiling and asking me things about Brazil. I was really impressed with her. I am not saying this only because of her Swiss blue eyes, perfect skin and stylist stylish short hair. She was different, starting from her clothes to her slight awkwardness. What an enchanting girl!

    I remember so clearly she said overflowing with enthusiasm that she loved Latin music and she would definitely take me to a Latin club she had gone to once with her friends.

    So there we were, on Saturday night getting ready to party in Sydney. I put on my black sneakers and some make up on and went out.

    (Since you already said "I put on" you do not have to repeat "on".)



    We talked a lot on our way to the spot. Things about our culture, our life, our dreams, and fears. She said she was impressed by my ability to speak in English, because she could barely say hello in on her first week. Well, was I speaking English? We laughed a lot assuming Aussies might think we do not speak English at all. They would probably say: Bloody hell! What language are these girls speaking?

    We got off the bus and walked a bit till (until we got to) the club. when we were almost there two Aussies approached us. They shouted "sup". I did not understand it, then they said it again "sup girls''. I looked at Corine's face like saying: what the heck are they saying? She cracked up and explained they were saying Hello in a very informal way. It is What's up! You are going to get used to it, she stressed.

    We arrived at the club, ordered a pina colada and went straight to the dance floor. She was right again, the music was sick!

    While we were dancing some reggaeton I bumped into a french guy who was nice and kept making us company. He said he had a Brazilian friend to introduce to me. I thought to myself: Man, I am in Australia, please introduce me to some locals ( haha) We were all dancing to some hip hop music when a Photographer came to take a picture of us. The french guy screamed: It is him, my Brazilian friend!

    We looked at each other, smiled and said: Oi, tudo bem?

    Once in while the Brazilian photographer appeared to say hi. I could  noticed that his eyes were looking for mine all the time, but I just wanted to dance.

    Have I ever said life is unpredictable?

    I was going to get a drink when I bumped into the photographer again. We looked at each other's others eyes and smiled again. I kept walking and he surprisingly grabbed my hand, pulled me towards him and stole me a kiss from me..


    Very interesting story! You expressed yourself very clearly and colorfully! Your English is very impressive. Wish I could say the same about my Portuguese! Good Job :)

    Eu sei que essa frase é estranha, mas estava praticando os tempos verbais! Haha Quando eu era uma criança acreditava que as estrelas eram olhos que estavam olhando para mim. Não queria fazer uma coisa errado, por que os olhos me viam.

    Queria falar sobre minha experiência Oi o meu nome é Jasmyn. Eu sou do Texas e eu estou aprendendo português. Eu estou aprendendo português por que eu gosto muito da língua. Na minha opinião o português é um idioma lindo. Eu também gosto muito da cultura do Brasil e as pessoas. Todas as pessoas brasileiras que eu já conheci eram muito amigáveis. Estava aprendendo português por mais ou menos um ano. Não estava praticando todos os dias mas ainda melhorei muito. Eu tenho muitos amigos do Brasil até o Portugal. Uma coisa que eu achei interessante sobre o português é os vários sotaques! Tem muitos sotaques diferentes no Brasil e também em Portugal. Eu não sabia disso antes de aprender português. De verdade, eu não sabia muito sobre as culturas do Brasil ou Portugal. Aprender uma língua nova é uma experiência muito legal! Eu aprendi muito sobre a língua mas eu também podia ter novos amigos e aprendi muito.

    Primeira aula de português Hoje eu tinha minha primeira aula de português. Foi incrível! Eu falei com a professora sobre muitos assuntos. Faláramos sobre minha vida, a minha cidade, e até os meus cachorros. Gostei muito da conversão. Eu gostaria de fazer mais aulas porque acho que elas vai me ajudar muito.
