My English Shelf by Profa. Mariana Menezes https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur Made for my dear students! :) Check your progress! en-us 2017-07-26 12:29:05 UTC 2017-10-19 01:33:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Teacher Mariana's story malpolims https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/179494586 I've been learning English as a second language since I was 3 years old. And my dad, even not knowing well the language, deeply wanted me to recognize easily all the plots and lines from the Hollywood movies that he loved. He listened and watched to every single thing in English that he could, with me by his side. Everytime I speak the language, it reminds me of him.

They have (had) others (other) priorities. So  I've been trying (to) learn English since I was  20 because I (have) earned a one year scholarship. Since that time, because of tight budget or hard work, I haven't got (the chance to) finish the course. I hope I can change this tendency soon.

I'm very shy to talk (speak) English, except when I'm travelling abroad. I think I'm (i become) became other person. It should be because I feel responsible for lmperosa9 https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/180064553 it during the journeys. My husband (where's the rest? Tell me the whole secret! ;) ) ]]> 2017-08-03 18:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/180064553 Andréa: Difficulty with English andrearasc https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/180557247 (Corrected) In the same time that I started to learn to write and read in Portuguese, I started to learn hebrew at school and English at a specific school ("Pink and Blue"). I was about six years old.
So, the school's coordinator said to my mother that I would had to stopped (would have to stop studying ) to study English in another school, because I was mixing the languages.
Believe it or not, my mother had done this, and I'm very sad about it until nowadays, because I don't have English fluency.
My sister who continued her English studies since that ages (age) speak (speaks) English very well. I believe it's easier to learn languages when we're a child, because our mind is more empty and free.
So, to try to speak English I started to paid (pay) an English course when I earned my own money, when I was an intern during my course at university. (At that time) That times I studied at União Cultural.
After that, when I became a lawyer I studied English at home, in a (in private classes) private classes - and felt it was better for me, because I spoked (spoke/used to speak) more than in a group.
I did English private classes with a (with many) many different teachers, and now I'm studing in a group.
So, I've been study (been studying) English for 
 about fifteen years, and my dream is to have an English fluency.

My first contact with English was at Sagrado Coração de Jesus, with a method that I don't thing they steal  using it.
From that time until now, I have been studying in a several other methods, like Cel - Lep , particular classes and finally I got at Yazigi.
I had classes with Fernanda per one year, I really like the course, so I am studying with a wonderful teacher , Mariana and a very nice group of colleges .
I need to improve a lot my English because I have my daughter living in New York working at B N P Paribas per at least one year.
That's why I feel the necessity to be a good speaker of English in  order to make a good communication when I go to visit her.

I also use my english when I travel abroad. I`ve travel (i've traveled) to Europe recently so I had to speak in english all the time, since none of my friends do.  On one hand it was good so (because) I could practice my english, but on the other hand they couldn´t do anything without my help.]]> 2017-09-17 01:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/188184985 Marilu`s report mariluguizeline https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/189490332 I`ve been not practicing as much as
I woud like too. Since last month I `ve started a dental treatment, very painful and disgusting. I simply can`t concentrate  because I can`t  forget "the tooth ",  talk and eat became so difficult at these times.
Finally I hope , I'll be fine because I
had to take it out, so the troubles caused by "the tooth" will be finish.
When I  want to see any movie I try not to put subtitles, I believe it is the best way to improve in terms of
understanding different accents. ]]> 2017-09-20 18:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/189490332 Marilu`s report mariluguizeline https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/189502845 (corrected) I really feel the need of speak well. (of speaking)
I'm going to meet my daughter and
her friends on next month ,  so I had (have) no choice,  if I don't  practice I will not be able to communicate with them.
I recently bought a pocket book from the life of "Frank Lloyd Wright",
a famous American architect who (has) changed the way to built in 20 century. (if the changes told still make a difference in the present, we use past perfect)

I use English when I travel abroad, but I feel my English is not enough to understand some explanations when I go to museums.
When I watch movies I try to understand without reading the subtitles, because my husband always want to watch with subtitles.
Even, sometimes I help my younger daughter to study English, but I'm feeling her English is becoming better than mine - and I love this, because I spend a lot of money with her private English classes!

]]> 2017-10-19 00:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/198497254 Andrea's dream... andrearasc https://padlet.com/malpolims/rmpzs2dtghur/wish/198500801 I'll feel fulfilled when I'll understand, speak, write and read in English.
When the person has a good English the mind open and can understand different people in all world, in the exactly time that they speak. For instance, we can watch TED Talks and understand all lecture without translantion.
I would like to do a course abroad. Once, I saw a course in Canada that you can go with all family together and the same time cognize the country.
Even, study another language is very important to maintain the active mind - so we can't stop to study or read in another language,
mainly when we're getting older!
