Our current situation
As a brazilian citizen, I can not avoid can't help talking about the protests that are happening around the country. After all, I love my country!
Brazilian people are angry about the high expenses the government is doing creating for the World Cup. The stadium of Brasília, one of the biggest arenas in Brazil, costs about 1,015 billion reais( about 900 million dollars). On the other hand, many areas like education, health, public transport and security are being put aside from the preferences interests of the goverment. Besides that, our economy is stuck, it's not progressing at all, which makes people even more willing to protest. They don't want to mess up or destroy the harmony of the country. They want to see real changes, not only things that are used like a make-up in order to hide the corruption and illegal actions of our politicians. In fact, they want ( just like me) a peaceful, fair, solidary and connected Brazil, that can be used as an example for the others.
I hope you guys understand that!
Thank you so much for reading! If you could correct it, please do it. It's still a entry.

Me daría mucho gusto ayudarles con vuestro ingles mientras nos conocemos y charlamos. Llevo casi un año y medio estudiando el castellano y también quisiera practicarlo con los nativos hablando, chateando y usando skype. Si quieres hacer un intercambio, avísame y tal vez nos agreguemos por skype o facebook. De todos modos no tengas miedo en escribirme cualquiera pregunta o chatear conmigo si quieres mejorar tu ingles. Saludos, AlexAugust 2, 2012114
- There's a difference between reading books (like novels) and reading textbooks. Textbooks are useful if you want to study the language from a linguistic point-of-view. If you want to learn to speak the language then reading materials made for natives is what you want. Also watching movies is great, I prefer watching tv-series for language learning because you end up getting a lot more content. But basically as Jkduzz said they aren't enough. You need as much exposure as you can get. Try to immerse yourself in as much English as possible. Meet and make friends with native speakers, grow your vocabulary and slowly integrate more native-materials into your environment.0 votedAugust 1, 20121
Could someone/somebody recommend a good movie to me in English,
where the vocabulary dont isn't too be difficult to understand, also and more importantly,
I dont get bored?A movie that comes to mind is "Dude Where's My Car". Not really sure why it's probably around 10 years old now. But I remember it being really funny and having a very simple story, with simple dialogue.
0 votedJuly 26, 20120Advantages and disadvantages of being Famous.
Some people, see their favourite singers, or actors on the TV, and think "I wish I was like him/her !"
These people, only think in about the cool things related to of being famous, but if you think about it more, you'll can notice that maybe, there are more disadvantages than the advantages of to this being famous.Let's start with the disvantages. There a lot of them, for instance, going to boring events and missing out on the importants stuff like birthdays etc. The main disadvantage is that everybody knows you, and It's not cool when you don't have get to go out once in the while in peace. For example If you go for shopping, your fans will follow you and ask you for pictures, and other stuff. Another one of the disadvantages are is the pressure that you have of being perfect all the time, and also the fact that every aspect of your private life is exposed.
Okay so this is the first part, thanks for reading!0 votedJuly 26, 20120- Autodidacts I wanted to throw a question out there. Who here has taught themselves a language? And if so, what language(s) did you learn or are you learning. Also what was the method you used or are using to learn said language(s). I've been teaching myself Spanish for the past 14 months, and language learning has become a topic which interests me a lot. So I thought I'd put the question in English to see what people have to say. Thanks heaps :)July 19, 201252
