    I actually really like his accent, because it makes him sound more fun. Of course language learners should try to speak clearly enough to be understood by the target language audience, but should not worry too much about losing their accent entirely. Accents are what make internationals so charming and interesting as friends. Love your accent! Be proud of it!

    That is a good idea. I would like to know how your trial session goes using the Zoom software. Maybe I will send you a message after the session so that you can tell me how it went.

    Escripto para o Vídeo de Introdução. Eu quero ser um professor de Inglês em italki especialmente para estudantes portugueses, mas eu preciso de um pouco de ajuda de escrever as palavras para o meu vídeo de introdução. Eu espero que você possa me ajudar a escrever as palavras certas aqui em baixo... "Eu me-chamo David Walters. Eu gostaria de ser seu professor de inglês. O inglês é a minha primeira língua, mas também falo português, espanhol e francês. Eu nasci em Idaho, nos Estados Unidos. Eu me casei com uma mulher canadense e agora vivemos em Alberta Canadá. Eu tenho um certificado de TESOL e eu tenho sido um professor por mais de vinte e cinco anos. Eu tenho um Doutorado em Educação e eu desenvolvi um programa de linguagem muito eficaz. O programa é chamado English 500 e se concentra nas primeiras 500 palavras mais comuns e úteis que você precisa para falar Inglês. Este programa começa com apenas uma palavra muito familiar: "banana" e, em seguida, adiciona logicamente novas palavras e frases para que o vocabulário cresce até que o aluno tenha dominado todas as primeiras 500 palavras mais úteis. À medida que novas palavras são adicionadas ao vocabulário em expansão, o aluno continuamente, repita, revisa e reforça as palavras que já aprendeu para que no final do programa o aluno pode se comunicar fluentemente. Estas primeiras 500 palavras podem ser combinadas de várias formas para formar milhões de frases em inglês para fins de comunicação diária. Para explicar como esse programa de linguagem original funciona, podemos começar agora mesmo. Naturalmente, a primeira lição pode ser muito fácil para você, mas você deve entender que cada lição adicional irá adicionar mais e mais palavras novas para o seu crescente vocabulário e palavras e frases já aprendidas serão repetidas e reforçadas. Então vamos começar. Eu vou ler as palavras primeiro. Você vai ouvir e repetir. Quanto mais você repete e usa as palavras apredidas, o mais cedo você estará falando todas as primeiras 500 palavras mais comuns em inglês. E em pouco tempo você estará falando milhões e milhões de frases inglesas úteis e origionais com estas cinco-centas.

    Deliberate Practice

    That's my first record in this notepad. Indeed, it's my first interaction in the iTalki's community. So, to start in great shape, I'd like to share my thoughts about a book that I recently read, it's called "Peak - secrets from the new science of expertise", by Anders Ericsson et al. Basically, it talks about "deliberate practice" (that's the reason behind the title of the post), which is defined by the author (but in my words) as a way of practice that aims for high performance. In other words, it's the way used by virtually every allsucessful people. His studies began with violinists in a very prestigious music academy in Germany, going through many other areas and people (such as Mozart). His findings guided him in the sense that becoming a world class champion is not a matter of talent, but of effort. However, a very specific way of effort. In a nutshell, deliberate practice has the following principles:
    1 - You need to get out of your comfort zone when doing your practice;
    2 - Do your practice in a focused way, with specific goals in mind;
    3 - Have a plan for how you will attain your goals;
    4 - Find a way to get feedback and monitor your progress;
    5 - Use the best strategies available in your quest. Hire an experienced coach or teacher, if possible;
    6 - Find a way to keep yourself motivated through this process.
    It's not difficult to see why it works. Even before I read the book, sometimes I had applied some of the principles pertaining to it. And I have to say that I really got good at what I was doing. From getting my driver's license to scoring 100% in a shoot'singtest (at the police academy), every time that I focused on getting out of my comfort zone (you do that by focusing on your weaknesses) and kept practicing until I became better, after a while I was doing it almost perfectly. I hope that you reading this little article can have the same benefits I'm already getting. If you're still not convinced, read the book and find it by youself. Don't forget to let me know what you think about my writings or the book. :)

    Your writing is very good; better than most native English speakers.
