I started learning English
Language at school, it was a particular school, so the English's level was very
good.
I always loved this
language and I improved my learning with lyrics of songs that I translated
because I am curious and I wanted know what the lyrics means. Now to do
this is easier because there is the internet, where the translations are ready,
but I prefer sometimes translate by myself because I improve my vocabulary and
my knowledge.
I never made a English
course so when I started at UFSJ I thought the English Language was more
difficult than this. Of course I improved a lot my English knowledge and I'm
sure I will go away of university without a fluently English. I know that is
impossible, so I want go to a country of English Language to learn much more
than I learnt here.
Some years later I decided to return to Cultura Inglesa. At that time I
was an adolescent full of energy and self-confidence. There was nothing of that
“caipira em Nova York” anymore. I was different, taller, more
beautiful (I used to think I was beautiful at that time). I started studying
with people from my age and I liked the teacher a lot. In fact I fell in love
with her. I was the best student. Besides, everything I learnt alone in my house
made sense for me and I learnt the language very fast. Before finishing the
first book I received an European in my house and I spoke fluent English with
him.
I concluded all levels of
English and I took and passed in all Cambridge Exams: PET, FCE, CAE and CPE. I
have the best memories of my teachers and I still remember many of the lessons I
was taught.
In brief my learning process was
extremely profitable and not even for a second disturbing. I may shoulder the
responsibility of my success as a
speaker of English as a second language on my teachers, the way they delivered
the lessons and of course on my dedication and interest.
