Cape Verde mostly is a Creole speaking country, but Portuguese is used in official documentation and is the formal language here. It gets confusing. I mostly speak Portuguese with people here but mix in the occasional Creole as well to lubricate conversation. I work as an English teacher to cover my costs and trying to start the first company to produce fresh mushrooms in the country... so will likely be here for a while. Getting my Portuguese up to par will definitely be useful for the long run, especially since my family is also looking to buy land in Portugal! On the side, I would also like to practice speaking Thai again. My Thai wasn't ever that good because my mother would only speak it to me as a child when she was angry, so not a great motivator. But now as an adult, I would like to get closer to my roots, and practice that as well at some point. French and Spanish would also be cool but I guess one thing at a time? Talk to me in Portuguese and I'll do my best to share my English speaking skills... and Dutch if you like. See you around!

    Stranger Things season 2 (with spoilers)

    Unlike other shows, Stranger Things tried the same thing in the new season, following the formula that succeeded before. There are just a couple of new things, and the season also has a cliffhanger, as in season 1, but a minor one.
    There is no doubt that the characters' development is the strongest point of ST. Great parts of them are complex and well written, but there are exceptions. Like season 1, the screenplay used a character's death only to develop other characters, which is a bad point. Putting someone in just to die in a story is a terrible screenplay decision, and it is even worse when you don't kill any of the mainly characters and just the new/less important ones. It demonstrates a fear to kill those loved by the audience, and a TV show must have courage to do so. (Like Game of Thrones!)

    Another low point of the season was Eleven's special episode, when she finds her sister. It's good, but it could be greatest better if they had explored more the characters more, more rather than just had a revenge talk.

    Indeed ST has potential, always had, but there is a thing is in lack for the producers lack: courage. Courage to try new things, courage to change a little, courage to kill and explore. But, this is my opinion, and I'm not and a specialist. If you don't agree just ignore.

    Clear idea and development! Just some rewording and some different vocabulary/spelling errors that need to be checked up on, but the body is there. I liked your idea to review a series you watched. Maybe I'll try that with my students ;) 

    I think if you worked with a spelling/grammar checker in a word application then copied and pasted it here, the amount of errors would decrease by half. 

    Looking forward to helping each other out!

    Quero aprender Portuguese em Cabo Verde Olá! Meu nome é Imka. Eu quero aprender Português mas eu moro em Cabo Verde. Não é tão fácil aprender Português aqui porque o maioridade de pessoas falar Criollo; um mistura de Português e as línguas Africana. Isso é porque em antigamente, os escravos desenvolvi seus línguas para comunicar dentro deles. Porém, a lingua official e administrativo de Cabo Verde é Português, então fazer muito de confusão. As duas línguas parecem, é eu acho que se eu aprender uma lingua bom, é mais fácil para aprender o outro também. Tenho que apprender as duas em o mesmo tempo mas eu acho que Português é mais façil para apprender porque tem mais recursos online é em livros. Algumas de amigos aqui falam em Português tambem é o communidade de lingua Português é mais grande em o mundo. Eu espero que o communidade de italki me ajudo para falar e escrever maior e estou ansioso para conhecer de pessoas. Até logo!
