And then I decided to come back at university more once to learn English and Portuguese. Here I am. Now, I’m learning English truly because I got a decision, I got aintention. Learnig English depends of one’s decision, of one’s purpose. Learning English depends primarity of my will,of my XXXXXXXXX.[nao foi possível entender o que estava escrito]

Mostly, I need to improve my Listening and Speaking in English.

My advice about learning English is: “Nobody can learn English for me. The teacher can help me but no learn for me. The school, the book, the material, the method can help me but learning depends mainly of me.
