Teaching my mom

My mom was taught by me a few minutes ago. Teaching her is one of ways what I use to improve my English skills. When I teach, I can learn too.

I ask her to write some words related to, for example, food, personal products, sports, etc, and put images and/or doodles with each related word. If she wrote "apple", she has to put an image or doodle of an apple and so on. It is not a big deal. It's easy! (I have to convremember her about it, because this is her homework...)

There is not more to write down here. That's it!

About my reason to want to improve my English

A few days ago Lheo left a comment on my last post, and that made my day. Why? I'm gonna explain.

Lheo is a friend of mine who I met on blogosphere in 2009 by means of a comment on my Brazilian Portuguese blog "Observo e Escrevo". Since his first comment (I don't know if the link I posted here is the first...) he shows me colors, dance, art, music, joy, intelligence... In other words, every thing related to youth I have been seeing on him since then.

Ok, that comment made my day, but made me think too: why do I want to improve my English? Just thinking: I never had any friend who spoke English during my adolescence. My first contact with English was during my Segunda Série (Second grade) -  I was a 8-year-old kid - at a school in a sattelite city of Brasilia. I loved the possibility to speak using a different kind of communication. I don't have a good and specific way to explain what happened. I just fell in love with English since then.

I know the importance the people attach on English in job market scenario, but I don't work with people who use English, nor I use it to gain much money nowadays. I want to improve my English skills because I just want to do this! Maybe I will earn money with it, but this is not happening by now. (I have tried yet. No success.)

If you are one of the 1,000,000,000 - 999,999,990 people who read my blog as well as Lheo reads, tell me: what are the advantages you took with the fact that you can talk in English? I have taken some advantages, but I will talk more about them in other posts ahead. (I think so.)

IT'S NOT A VLOG!

Well, guys... I'm a Brazilian guy who wants to speak more in English. I have been thinking about the possibility to create a Youtube Channel, but I don't have a good camera for it. I thought about to chat with people who was born in USA, but it is not easy to find an American native. Don't get me wrong, people, but I want to know if my English is comprehensible for a guy who speaks it since his childhood.

Until now I have been using the English to talk to Mexican, Slovak, Russian, and other foreign ones, and they have been understanding me. (I think so!) This is not a vlog, and blogs are not "in" nowadays, but I hope to find a lot of people to listen to me. (Even a couple of people will be good.) I just want a way to improve my English, and the better way to improve it is to use it by writting and showing what I write. I want to speak in English with my mouth either, but this is not possible here. If you want to talk to me without the intention to send me nudes, I'm here!

Well... That's it! Leave your comment below. Talk to me! Show me where my English is not clear and understandable. I wanna speak, and I wanna listen too. What do you like? What's your favourite song? Do you have a job? Tell me more. This first post is just the beginning. The another part depends on you. :-)
