Hi, my name is Samuel but can call me Sam. I'm from Brazil (Sao Paulo). Portuguese is my native language, and I'd like to have a conversation exchange. I'm learning Polish, and I know how difficult it could be finding someone to practice. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers!

    Do young people today make good use of the technology? With the popularity of technology, people could have an entertainment with more facility than in the past, so, people started to be connected almost everywhere, because of that, I believe that the teens don't make good use of their leisure time, they spend a lot of time on virtual media. Today is more common see teens spending their free time with video games and TV Shows. According to the article published by PAMF.org (Palo Alto Medical Foundation) in June 2014, 97% of young people in USA play video games, and players engage on a deeper level, physically and emotionally than people do when watching a movie or TV. I have seemed a lot of parents using the video games to keep the kids and teenagers busy, instead of having a family moment or having more productive activities. In contrast to that, the video games and TV may help children improve their manual dexterity and computer literacy. When a video game is 'pro-social' and rewards players for building new places or helping others, experts said that young people tend to show more empathy and helpfulness in their lives. However, it is important to avoid violent content and create some rules to avoid that children and teenagers doing another kind of activities. Furthermore, check the rating of the content, set limits on how often and how long young people are allowed to play and watch TV and take time to discuss the content with them, using correctly, all would have the best of two worlds.

    Lenda de Céu (Letras do Port a Inglês)

    Gosto muito da musica do Brasil e de dessa cantora. Então, tento de traduzir as letras ("lyrics" in English).

    E tome tento /// And takes(?) an attempt => This is an expression in portuguese, unfortunately I don't this expression in English. This means: You need to stop to do wrong things, something like that.
    Fique esperto /// Become(?) smart/clever => Take care, be alert
    Hoje não tem papo /// Today there isn't conversation. => "Papo" is used in informal cases, it means talk / conversation
    Jogo-lhe um quebrante /// I play the weak one/the feeble one, act/pretend to be weak => "Quebrante" is like a witchcraft
    Num instante /// In an instant
    Você vira sapo /// You become a frog/toad
    Bobeou na crença /// You(?) act foolishly/carelessly in the belief => "Bobeou" is used in informal cases, it means: "someone who didn't pay attention and 'lost' something" in this case "the belief"
    Príncipe volta /// (that the) Prince returns
    Ao seu posto /// To his legendary post/post of legend
    De lenda...(2x)

    Seu nome /// your/his/her name
    Ri na boca do sapo /// laughs? in the mouth of the frog??? => It's same of: Rir, dar risada in portuguese
    Sua boca...(2x) /// your/his/her mouth

    Já tá feito /// It's already done
    Tá mandado /// It's ordered/sent
    O seu trono tá plantado /// Your/his throne is planted
    Fica acerca de mim /// Be near me
    Seu nome /// Your/his name
    Na boca do sapo /// In the mouth of the frog
    Sua boca na minha /// Your mouth on mine?
    O resto é boi dormindo /// The rest is a sleeping young bull => The rest is all munkie talk!
    Em história errada | De carochinha /// In (the) wrong story of a fairytale? => "história de carochinha" = old popular history past generation by generation


    Uma canção bem estranha quando traduzida para o inglês :o)

    Today we watch "Dr. Strange" Today my wife and I decided to watch a movie after our job. We arrived at the cinema and bought the tickets that every monday there are discount, because of that we prefer go to cinema on mondays. We were hungry and decided to eat at "Mousse Cake" a traditional restaurant in Ribeirão Preto (countyside of São Paulo). If you come to Ribeirão Preto/SP you should to prove some of those delicious dishes. We choose watch "Dr. Strange" and, what I can say about it? It's awesome, I loved it so much. There are a good history and good message too, it was incredible. I couldn't write any spoilers here, but I have a tip for you... wait for two extra scenes in the end of this film. If you don't watch yet, you should to.

    Boa tarde !

    Boa tarde aos meus amigos ! (Poderia ter escrito: "Boa tarde meus amigos", acho que ficaria mais natural para este texto, mas não está errado)

    Eu sou Gaurav. Moro aqui em Buenos Aires, Argentina. Não Nunca tive a oportunidade de aprender bem a língua portuguesa mas tenho feito boas amizades com gente do Brasil que me ajudaram a aprender um pouco da língua. Igualmente eu acho que o que eu falo é simplesmente portunhol! Rsrs :P. Eu gostaria de falar muito melhor algum dia sim! :)

    Você, qual/quais língua(s) está aprendendo agora mesmo ? Se você quiser, podemos fazer um intercâmbio pelo Skype.

    Poderia ter utilizado assim também: "Qual ou quais línguas você está aprendendo agora?"


    Um abraço !
    – Gaurav.

    A lost dog! Julia is a girl who loves to practice sports, travel abroad and taste new kind of food. Some day Julia was running around the lake at the park, when suddenly she saw a lost dog, it was afraid, pehaps because there were a lot of people in the park. The dog was walking around the tree, aparentely train to hide it self. Julia looked around trying to find the owner of that beautiful dog. She approached to the dog and carefully took the dog in her arms and started playing with it. The dog was so beautiful, it was black with a white circle in one of it's eyes and there was a name in leash. Julia, looking the dog's leash, remembered when she was a little girl and her dog escaped, she felt sad until her parents found her dog. Because of that, Julia decided to wait in the park hoping that the owner of the dog could find it. One hour later she heard someone screaming for "Thor", the same name written in the dog's leash. In this moment she breathed in relief because she belived she had found the dog's owner. She started to walk in direction of this person with the dog in her arms, when the man saw his dog, he opened a big smile and the dog started barking. They talked for hours and they became friends. Now they go together to the park to practice physical exercises.
