My expectations about English I'm trying to learn English now because I was a very procrastinated person during my childhood. In Brazil, we used to say "antes tarde do que nunca" that means "better later than never". That gives me some comfort. I've traveled a lot and I've been in many countries, but I think I never could enjoy all that travels had to offer because of the language. It's always a problem. Next year, my husband and I are going to Australia again. We were there last year. He works in a TI company and speaks English well, but I felt lonely because I was not able to have a conversation in English while he was not with me. I hope I can overcome this barrier with some commitment and the help of italki friends.
