- Creo que lo mejor que se puede hacer es encontrar personas que han subido cosas escritas en español que hablan estos idiomas como sus linguas maternas que quieren hacer un intercambio de idiomas. O se puede tomar unas lecciones con un profe para formar base y luego ir desarollando sus capacidades así.0 votedJuly 6, 20180
- Today I have nothing to talk about, but I have to try since I haven't written in the last two days because I was too busy. I'm going to talk about how English changed my life. Not in a way a language can change people's lives, such as getting a good job or immigrating. Learning English made me feel more confident and less shy. At the beginning of this year, I couldn't think about practicing my English with someone. Only the idea of having to make a video call and speak English would terrify me. But I pushed myself and I started to have some conversation classes. In the first two or three months, I was still feeling very nervous and answering questions with very simple and short sentences. But as the time went by, I became more and more confident of not only speaking English but also expressing my opinions. Nowadays, I can hold conversations with teachers or language partners without any problem, without feeling nervous, without my hands shaking and my heart beating fast and, the most importantly, without the fear of making mistakes and feeling stupid. And this also made me more confident to talk to people in real life, make friends and express myself. Now I can write here what I think about various topics knowing some people are going to read it and see my mistakes and I don't even care. I just want to learn and now I know nothing can stop me. I know if I had've started to speak English before earlier, my English level would be much better by now, so I want to enjoy every opportunity I have to do it now and I recommend everyone who's learning a language to do the same.<em>Great job! I hope that one day my Portuguese will be as good as your English! The things I corrected are to improve your written communication, although sometimes people would speak as you have written. It's important to note that it's advised that you don't start sentences with "but" in English. I guess nowdays it's a stylistic choice and adds an informal and conversational tone to your writing. </em>[emoji]0 votedJuly 6, 20182
- Tem feito em inglês How can you say "tem feito" in English? In Portuguese, you use "ter feito" to say talk about things someone has done. In English, this is "to have done". There are two parts to this grammatical structure. The first part is the verb "ter", which is "to have" in English. The second part is the past participle, or "feito" (done), "olhado" (seen) etc. Regular past participles in English are the same as the past tense of the verb. These include: cooked, slept, watched, walked, listened, said, made, thought, looked, wanted, used, found, told, asked, worked, seemed, felt, tried, left, called. Irregular past participles are different. Common ones include: eaten, run, been, done, gotten, gone, known, taken, seen, come, given. Here are some examples: I have seen kangaroos before. Tenho visto os cangurus. You have eaten all the cake! Você tem comido toda a bola! Contractions In English it's very common to shorten the have to 've or 's. You can tell he's, she's and it's apart from the contraction of he is, she is and it is depending on the context. I have -> I've you have -> you've he has -> he's she has -> she's it has -> it's we have -> we've they have -> they've For example I've never been to Brazil before. Nunca tem ido para Brasil. You've improved a lot! Você tem melhorado muito! He's cooked a delicious meal. Ele tem cozinhado uma comida deliciosa. She's lived in Australia for her whole life. Ela tem morado em Australia toda sua vida. It's had a huge impact on me. Tem-me impactado bastante. We've been together for 3 years. Nós temos 3 anos juntos. They've just had another kid. Eles acabam de ter otro/a menino/a.November 11, 2017101
- O que fiz hoje Hoje eu foi para o parque. Eu comi no parque com minha amiga. Ele chama-se Naomi e é muito legal! É uma pessoa descomplicada. Ela gosta muito da música. Me contou que está estudando ainda para ser desenhista de jogos. Depois de ver a minha amiga foi para a praia porque ficar perto a escola de música. As 18:30 tive um aula de guitarra. A semana que vem vai ter concerto lá é vou tocar. Então foi para um parque perto a meu departamento para practicar um poco apois de ir para casa. Agora vou dormir porque quasi são as 22:00 é vou tentar de madrugar amanha para ir a correr.

November 6, 201751 - En los libros de fantasía o ciencia ficción, solemos encontrar monstruos que nos dan asco y miedo, pero no es necesario buscar en un mundo creado por la imaginación de los hombres para encontrar criaturas que nos asustan. Había monstruos en nuestro propio mundo hace poco. Lo que quiero decir con eso es que en relación a la edad del universo, es muy poco tiempo. Son los dinosaurios los que ya conoce la mayoría de la gente, sin embargo es desde las profundidades del mar desde donde vinieron y todavía vienen los seres impresionantes y que dan más miedo. Sin la interferencia de los seres humanos, las criaturas ahí abajo han seguido viviendo y creciendo y, de vez en cuando, suben como un cuento de horror en hueso y carne. Tristemente, una cosa de lo que los humanos no parecen capaces es testigar algo así sin necesitar atraparlo para hacer una foto. A pesar de que hayamos ganado mucho con el desarollo de tecnología, hay un sinfin de cositas que van disapareciendo sin que se note. Una de ellos es la capacidad de ver algo y dejarlo vivir solo en la mente, en lugar de crear alguna copia digital para compartir con todo del mundo.
<em>Lo que has escrito es muy interesante. Sin embargo, me parece que has tratado de muchos temas en poco espacio. Por eso no entendí completamente lo que querías decir en algunas partes. Tu nivel de español es muy bueno así que ¡animo! Lo que más vale es practicar. ¡Qué tengas un lindo día! </em>[emoji]

Mi trabajo es el Soy programador. Más exactamente - programador de integración. Mi principal trabajo principal es desarrollar canales de comunicación entre sistemas informáticas. Me gusta muchísimo lo que hago. Cada día es un desafío nuevo para mí y mi equipo. Y no es la verdad que programadores solo se ocupan de beber café. Hablamos con otras personas también y escribimos software... a veces :-)
Tengo que cooperar con otras personas de los países diferentes. Normalmente hablamos en inglés, pero intento a hablar en la lengua materna de otra persona a veces, aún si solo es una frase. Como dice el buen refrán: Si hablas a un hombre en un idioma que comprenda, eso llega a su cabeza. Si hablas con él en su idioma, eso llega a su corazón.
¿Y cuál es tu profesión?0 votedJuly 12, 20170A Ilha de Itamaracá (Itamaracá Island)
Today I will talk about an island near my city that it's called Ilha de Itamaracá (Itamaracá island). It's located north of my city. It's about 40km away. This place is really interesting because it has a lot of historic things to see. Besides that, it's on the coast, which makes it prettier. Today, I am going to tell you about the "Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição" (Our Lady of the Conception church) and the "Forte Orange" (Fort Orange) it was built by the Dutch.
The Name Itamaracá comes from Tupi language, that it is a language spoken by the local indigenous people from Brazil, and it means stone that sings. Itá = pedra (stone) and mbara'ká (rattle).
I and A few friends and I went there yesterday to explore and I took some pictures thinking of writing this text.
It's a historic place because the Portuguese people went there to colonize the land. But if you read my other English text about Recife, you will remember that the Dutch have been here for 16 years (16 years or since the 16th century?). Thus, you can imagine what happened. They had conflicts over the land. Furthermore, the French came to fight as well and then they have occupied the land during the sixteenth century.
Before arriving at the beach, where Forte Orange is located, there's is an old village called "Vila Velha" (Old Village) and there is the Saint Conception's Church. This church is really old and it was built by the French when they were here. The Church still has some of the original pieces.
The "Forte Orange" is about 3km away from the Church. And something really interesting is that there is a tunnel from the Church to Fort Orange, that it was used so escape case the enemies were coming. Fort Orange is really massive and really orange. It wasn't possible to see much because they were fixing something there. Even though, we enjoyed it a lot.0 votedApril 20, 20172
