    Language Partners

    I always ask myself: Why is so hard to find people to share knowledge and truly become language partners? 

    I don't understand why, really if we offer help, no one needs help. if we ask for help, no one is willing to, and every new attemp to find a great resource to practice and improve the language we are learning always become a frustrating and lonely task.

    I get really disappointed with that.

    that's it

    I believe the most simple way to explain that difference is, American English and British English is different as Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, both have different accent, expressions and homophones. You can communicate but we brazilians usually can't understand very well the portuguese accent because all of their sentences usually sound short, and we articulate more the words, we use more our tongue and open more our mouth, so the sound is completely different. We take some time to start undestanding clearly a portuguese person, but they can undertand us easily.

    Confused about the "language learning world" It's weird when you realise that you are trying to improve an specific language for any reason and you can find people that are willing to help you just share knowledge, and it just become a frustating quest to improve your language, because you can't find people to make it better, and it happens not just here but in so many apps that you thing only reading is enough, but we need to pratice all the language aspects, but it's not possible when you face this kind of situation.

    Thoughts People are usually looking for a big picture, an example that could make them have a better life, or that could guide them to the right path, but even though people look for that not everyone is willing to face this challenge. People are usually trying to improve their skills and doesn't matter what skills they want to improve, but not everyone is willing to make a great effort to achieve it. People are usually saying things that they wish, but not everyone are willing to seek it, not if it will take much time, because people usually don't want real challenges, they just want to achieve goals without effort, without sacrifices, without putting their soul on it. People are usually lying so that they can have a good impression above others. People are usually lying because they can't face the truth. People are usually lying without a reason. People lie...

    Thoughts I live in fear to not reach the goals I've been planning in my whole life, it's tough to see many people around you accomplishing things while I feel as I'm not walking anymore. I'm teaching a martial art in order to try to change the world around me, but unfortunately people don't give value to that nowadays, we can only see violence and people who seeks violence, it's really difficult to be a teacher that tries to teach peace in a world full of hate, violence, intolerance and war. Looks like I'm just a dreamer when I believe that the martial arts can still change people's lives, as the time goes by I have less students and I thing I should give up on that and try something different, but martial arts has changed my life, I feel I'm a better person now and I would like to make people feel the same as I do. Looks like nobody cares about the teachings we have to teach, people only wants ranks, and medals and anything that can fulfill their ego. I don't know in what to believe, I'm just trying, and I'll keep trying, maybe someday I'll make a difference, maybe someday I'll just wake up...
