    World Cup is coming and some problems too In three weeks, the World Cup will start in Brazil. It is a big event for Brazilians and for many people around the world, who like the football (or soccer). In Brazil, especially in the last 12 months, this subject is a mix of excitement and revolt. Some people like the idea to see the best players of the world in our country. Also, they think that it is a good opportunity for Brazil increase its tourism industry. On the other hand, others criticize the huge investments done, in the last years, in new stadiums. Their opinion is that money should be spent in education and public health. In 2013, there were uprisings and strikes, during the Confederations Cup, with thousands of people on the streets. Probably, acts like these will be repeated during the World Cup with big consequences. It is only my opinion, but the fact is that in 12 cities, that will host the matches, there will be a huge impact on their routines.

    I use some resources on internet:

    http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html - This site has good podcasts to download, with good pronunciation and interesting subjects. Podcasts are free.

    http://thedailyenglishshow.blogspot.com/ - This blog has many videos (More than 1300) produced by a woman called Sarah. These videos are funny and educational, in the same time.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/ - This is the BBC website. It has many videos with daily news. These are good for the British accent.

    http://www.nytimes.com/ - This is the New York Times website. It has many videos with daily news. It's good for the American accent.

    Por que quero aprender a falar português? Alguns brasileiros me <strike>perguntem  </strike> perguntam por que adoro esta língua. É porque gosto muito do som da língua. Acho que a língua portuguesa soa como música. O sotaque de Portugal é lindo, mas prefiro o sotaque do Brasil, especialmente a maneira como os cariocas falam.

    Minha língua nativa é uma língua urálica. Por esta razão é muito diferente do português. Esta língua é difícil para mim, mas acredito que com um pouco de ajuda posso conseguir.


    Muito bom seu texto. Continue assim, que está no caminho certo.

    Abraços.

    Why to learn English I need to improve my English because in my work I often read in English (books, articles, magazines etc.) and I sometimes need to talk with my colleagues in abroad. The owner of my company is Indonesian and many offices of the company are in Asia (In China, Indonesia and Malaysia). Also I like to travel very much and I would like to visit and maybe live in other countries. This is another reason to learn and speak well English. Maybe, in next year, I’m going to go to a Canadian school to do a 3-4 months English course. I read English better than speaking and writing. Reading is easier for me, because I enjoy reading books. In last 6 months, I read 4 books in English. I had difficulties, but I did it. Sometimes I didn’t know the meaning of any words, but the context helped me to understand them. Also I read newspapers on the internet such as BBC News and NY Times. I watch videos about news in these websites too. I read articles in other websites about many subjects. For example, in sites about movies and music.

    About travel I like to travel a lot. I enjoy to know other cities in my country (Brazil) and abroad too. It's a reason to learn English. When I have a holiday, I sometimes take my backpack and go to the country. I like to stay in the middle of the nature with mountains, waterfalls etc. But sometimes, I visit historic and cultural places. Also I eat typical foods of each place. This is a important thing of travelling. :)

    Introducing myself Hi everyone, I would practice English with other students and native speakers. English is important for me because I work in a international company and have to talk people from other countries. Also because I like to travel in Brazil and abroad. I work with IT (Information Technology) as a system analyst. In my professional area, English is essential and to many opportunities, it is obligatory. In my free time, I like to listen to music (rock), watch movies, go to the beach, running and travel. In Italki, I hope to meet people who help me with corrections and comments. To students of Portuguese, I can help them.
