Hi, everyone! I'm Maya (or May). I'm from Brazil and I speak Brazilian Portuguese as a native and U.S English as a second language. I'm here to improve my English and teach Portuguese for those who are interested. Also, looking forward to learning French and Spanish. I hope we can help each other. Just reach my message box and say hi :)

    I think few years ago could be used in short answers and in the beginning of sentences (I'm not sure about it, though). Example: - When you moved here? - Few years ago - How you decided to live here? - I had the decision talking to my husband a few years ago

    Eu respondo as perguntas:

    1) Por que você quer aprender português? 
    2) O que você vai fazer? (Essa pergunta tá bem vaga. Fazer o que quando? "O que você vai fazer amanhã?" Seria uma pergunta melhor)
    3) Para <strike>a</strike>onde e quando você pretende viajar?

    1) Eu estou aprendendo português porque preciso <strike>de</strike> fazer um<strike>a</strike> teste na minha universidade.
    A universidade quer que todos os estudantes <strike>poderam</strike> possam falar <strike>duas</strike> dois idiomas <strike>estrangeiras</strike> estrangeiros.

    2) Amanhã <strike>vai a</strike> será noite de ano novo. Meu amigo <strike>tem</strike> faz aniversário no mesmo dia, por isso ele sempre faz uma festa grande. Eu <strike>vai</strike> vou para lá e estou muito animado.

    3) Quero viajar para <strike>o</strike> <strike>Africa</strike> a África do Sul. Meus amigos foram para lá e eles me disseram que há muitas praias e montanhas bonitas lá. Também, <strike>o </strike>na <strike>Africa</strike> África do Sul não é muito caro, o que <strike>qual</strike> é bom, porque eu não sou rico.

    Nessa última pergunta faltou você responder QUANDO você vai viajar, você só disse para onde quer ir. 

    Bons estudos! :)

    It's not weird, it's just unusual and a bit formal, at least to me. But the examples you gave are all correct, so you can feel free to use it in that way you expressed.

    Hi. My name is Gim Gigeon. Nice to meet you. I live in Korea in Busan. I am thirteen years old. I am a young guy. My favorite type of movie is horror. I like horror movies because they are fun. If you're watching a horror movie you will be scared. Me too. Do you like chicken and pizza? Which one do you like better? I like chicken. Pizza is expensive, but it is very delicious. My familly is very nice. Grandpa, grandma, brother and sister. Grandpa is a taxi driver. My granma is a nurse. She is very kind. But she shouts at me. My brother and sister are very bad. She fights with me every day. He cries noisily. However, we are a family. I read books every day. I read comic book. Comic book is very fun. I go to the library at school. I want be an actor because I want to make a lot of money. It is my dream. I have many friends. My friends are not good in English, but they are very kind and nice. If you have good friends you are a lucky guy.

    Yes, it needs the last do. Specially if you're writing it. Sure, you can say that sentence without "do" in a casual conversation but it's not as correct as saying "as fast as I do". Why is that? In English you should (in most cases) have a verb right after the pronom. If you leave the pronom without a verb it's almost like the sentence is not finished. Example: Someone asks you: - Do you like going to the beach? And your reply is: - Yes, I. It's not correct, you see? Sure, the person you talk to will understand, but they will notice right away that English is not your first language.
