i talked to one guy from the uk last week and he was surprised english is a foreign language for me. well,it is somewhat inspiring, cause i`ve heard 2 more people saying this last week. on the other hand, maybe it`s cause he is not good at languages himself, always making many mistakes. anyway,i don`t use my language skills much, except chatting viz messengers, i am very disappointed with myself.
People doing this are also doing these things:

At work
I have to speak English and I feel like it is a little bit better than it was 2 months ago. But only a little bit.
Now I speak better Italian than English, what’s weird.

No memory space
It’s unbelievable! It seems like m mind doesn’t have enough space for more than two different languages – my beloved mother tongue Portuguese plus a foreign language.
Now I’m speaking an almost good Italian, I’m loosing my poor English, as I lost my Spanish years ago.
WHY? PERCHÈ???

My English may be getting worse
because I’m not attending to the classes since half an year ago, but I’m not ashamed of speaking English anymore! Yay! :D

Certificates
I intend to get my CAE (Cambridge`s Certificate in Advanced English) by the end of this year. I hope I can manage that, `cause it`s the last step before the Certificate of Proficiency.
No, I don`t think certificates are the best things in the world and I`m pretty sure that you worth much more than a piece of paper says you do. But certificates in English might be very usefull sometimes. To get a job in Brazil or to foreigners to enter a university in Europe, for example.

Untitled
Everytime I’m gonna write something in Eglish I got stuck (even now I’m pretty stuck). And that’s no good. I guess that’s because I feel ashamed.
I allways received lots of information in English (movies, internet, magazines, etc), but I rarely gave it. Kind of passive learning, I guess. So, I decided to try writing in English here. Ha! :D
Now someone may, please, speak Portuguese to me? Thanks.

ginad42: Your English is very good!
I think your English is very good! (I’m a native English speaker) I learned some Spanish in school but I’m not really fluent in it. Congratulations on your progress, and keep going…I think you will find it very useful :)
