All right, my name is Henrique I am an English teacher I’m 26 years old. I teach English at Wisdom English School in Pampulha and I learned English, first I studied at Number One for one year, after that I went to the United States where I did my last year of High School and then I came back to Brazil, I did a small course at Greenwich and I did all the few courses, few English courses. But I’ve been teaching English for 8 years now so that’s how I learned English. And I think it’s a really good profession, and I intend to teach English for the rest of my life.

How was your English learning?

In the beginning was really hard. I had only the basic English when I went to America first time. But up there in America I lived in a very small town so I didn’t have any foreigners to speak I had to speak only with the Americans all the time. And then I learned very fast like in three months there I could speak everything.

Did you have any difficulty when you were in the US?

Nor, my trip to the United States was a dream, everything was perfect.

So it was easy for you.

Yeah it was easy, let’s say, I’m a very outgoing person, I like to make friends, to see new things to go to new places it was very easy. I still have friends up there. So, sometimes I go there.

You keep contact?

Yeah, and my bother- in- law lives in America, so I have to go there sometimes to visit him. And my wife teaches English too. She also lived abroad. So English is my life. I speak English at home, I speak English here, and I really enjoy speaking English.
