Though I’ve been sorrounded by the english languange since I was a child (Though I've been to exposed to the english languaged...)

I remember one specific funny moment when I was in 1st grade and I read, for the first time, a book written in English.

It had the name of several colours written in English and I thought it was a little weird at first but I also though it was easy, after all. I just had to pronounce them the way they were written.

The thing is that I didn’t have a clue about pronunciation. Here in Brazil, we sound every vowel in a phrase, even if it’s not in there.

Then the next day, my teacher read all those new words and I was just chocked.

I remember thinking “There is no way someone can talk like that.” But the time has passed and I’m now more accustomed practice this style of speaking every day.

I think it’s pretty cool to get in contact with another languange, because you see that your familiar way to talk, write, speak and even think it’s not the only way (I know it sounds obvious, but we have this unconscious perception).

In this giant world, this skill is more than necessary!
