Such a Great Saturday

Lets start telling about dreaming, who do not have one?
One of my dreams is, to give english classes, and I would started it, last saturday, but my VIP student were absent. --'
So, I would start yesterday, then... but... it did not happen...why?
I'm gonna talk about yesterday, and you guys will understand...
It was such a funny day, like all saturdays, I went to CCAA, I had one of my fun class, talking and laughing, after it, I went to Microcamp, to give class, I was at the reception when the phone rang, the receptionist answered it, and said:
 - Igor, you would give VIP class for Bruno ? I answered, yes, why ?
HHHMMMM - He won't come today.
OMG !
I thought, again ?
Then, I raised to go home, and the receptionist said:
Why do not you stay here, and watch the teacher Camila's class?
I said, hmmm... can be.
So, I went up the stairs, went to the class, and introduced myself to Camila, she introduced me for the students, but, she said a little lie.
- Hi people, this is Igor, a new student, but not a common one, he doesn't speaks portuguese.
The students looked for me, kinda scared, introduced themselves, and one of those, asked me:

- Where are you from ?
Hmmm, I answer the first country came to my head.
MEXICO ! --' suahsuiahsuiahsuiahs
Till Camila looked for me, and asked, REALLY ? o.O ?
Anyway, to get away, I said, I'm from Mexico, but I was born in US, and ....
" Creo que se yo hablar español, es mejor para usted "
SKAOPKSOAPKSOAPSKA. UFAA .
Camila said: - That is an english class, come on. Without spanish here, right? rsrs
Well, I attended the class, and when it was finishing, Suddenly I started to speak portuguese. KK'
It was kinda funny, everyone looked for me, with a face like, I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT !
Anyway, It was kinda funny, "just kidding", I talked a little bit with them, told about me, about this blog and also some tips... it was great !

So, I'm sure that you have already lived in a situations like that, there are someone reading any SHIT, and then that person see a word in english, and ask you:

- O QUE SIGNIFICA " strawberry " EM PORTUGUÊS ? ( For example )


Well, of course you know, then you smile, and say:

- MORANGO (:

But, this person, cotinue reading, until to find another word, look for you with a sarcastic face, and ask:

- O QUE SIGNIFICA !@#$%¨&*¨% EM POTUGUÊS ?

He ask you the FUCK of word that you do not have idea, but why does he ask ? why ? tell me --'

Then, you say :

- EU NÃO SEI.

They do not understand the fact of we are studying english, do not means that we know all words, me, for example, I have a poor vocabulary, a lot of times it happens with me, I have already though about walking armed.

"Let's gonna be sincere"

Today I was talking with my friend Guilherme, of course we were talking about English, I told him a thing that he agreed with me.
I said him:
- Gui, lots of time I stay thinking I have got to improve my English, especially the vocabulary, I'll admit you a thing, that I think everybody else do, but do not confess. I always commit stupid mistakes, that makes me feel embarrassed of myself, I think, OMG, I can not believe I said it or wrote it.

Mistakes such as:

Buy the way

To say Beer stead of Bear


To write a irregular verb and put ED in the end

To write Follow in love stead of Falling in love

I'll stop here, coz I'm already embarrassed. lol




I said It for him, a little bit afraid of heard an answer like:
- Poor guy, You do should Improve, you can't commit stupid mistakes, like that, I NEVER DID THAT.

But, fortunately he said:
- YEP ( I Smiled) I sure do the same, it's normal buddy, everyone does that, I also have to improve my English, especially the pronunciation, but I guess till I stay in Brazil, I'll not be able to speak as good as an american person.

So, with this dialogue with my friend, I wanna say that everybody have doubts, everyone does mistakes, everybody hates Chris ( ops I'm sorry, I do love this series), but.... everyone are shameful. Please, do not be shame, comment here, tell me the stupid mistakes you usually commit, I'll just laugh a little bit. lol

First of all !

I've just created this blog ( March 14th 2011) , but you are maybe asking for yourself, what fuck is that Blog ?

Well, firstly, I've got to say, that I did it based on  a book called "Como não aprender Inglês", by: Michael A Jacobs.

" Devido a sua grande experiência em ensinar inglês, em empresas e escolas de línguas, Michael focaliza
 em seu livro as principais dificuldades e erros que os falantes nativos de português cometem quando
aprendem inglês. As seções são intercaladas com anedotas engraçadas e didáticas. Um elemento forte no livro são as ATITUDES, nas quais o autor tenta encorajar uma atitude menos passiva por parte dos estudantes brasileiros. O aprendiz de línguas tem de dedicar tempo, esforço e dar uma grande parte de se quiser aprender bem ".

I guess I have already talked so much about Michael A Jacobs, cause the Blog is mine, isn't it ?

So, who am I ?

My name is Igor Rosendo, I'm 18, I've been studying english since 2007, but I've been loving it since I was born, everyday, and every time, all the things I do is thinking in english, every word I say, I translate it for myself, or if I don't know what is the meaning of  this word in english, of course I get a dictionary, or I use the google translate, lol, yes, yes, I also use the google translate.
Well, I have a lot of doubts, I usually take off it, asking for my friends who are also studying english, and for me, that is the best way to take away the doubts, cause when we talk about something, we remember a situation, or something like that, that make us realize the word or the rule, and never forget it.
This blog is such a tool, to take out the doubts and give some tips, so, if you have a doubt, ask, if you have a tip, please, please and p..... tell me.

However, thanks for reading, enjoy it, and invite your friends who is crazy for english like us.
