Aprendendo Idiomas

Como algunos de ustedes saben, yo estoy empezando a aprender el español. Yo creo que el español es una lengua muy fascinante, porque es hablada en la mayor parte de la America Latina. Es también muy relacionada con el portugués. Solo tenemos que tener cuidado para no hablar el "portunhol", que es una unión de las dos lenguas.

Hello everyone! Today I'll write about sports. Well, I began practicing sports at age 3, when I attended swim classes. My mother always gave me motivation to exercise and be healthy. At age 8, I began having tennis classes too, but left soon. After my mom's death, in 2005, I went back to the tennis with my father. I think I spent about 8 months having classes that time, and I really enjoyed this sport. Oh, and I have to say that my father is a sports enthusiast. Nowadays, he runs daily and goes to the gym often. He always tells me that sports are a key asset to a healthy life, among proper alimentation and other things.

Well, as I once said here, I am training my writing skills in English. That's the reason I'm writing this text, just trying to say something cool and that will help me using this language. I was wondering which subject would be nice to write about. As my previous post was about Law, I decided to not write about anything related to it. So I decided to write about Caetano Veloso, a well known brazilian composer and singer. My relation with him started back in 2002, when my mom used to play his records in her car, so I was nearly obligated to listen to his songs, among with other artists, such as Chico Buarque, Fábio Jr., Barry White, etc. Being exposed to all that stuff, I became a music fanatic, as well as a fan of many artists. But speaking about Caetano, my mom used to sing to me his famous song "O Leãozinho" (the little lion), saying that I was kind of her little lion. So, in 2005, a very sad thing happened to me: I lost my mother, after a 6-year battle agai...

Muy bien, estoy iniciando un texto en español. Yo no se si estoy escribiendo bien, entonces pido disculpas si cometeré algunos errores. En este texto yo voy hablar sobre mis gustos personales, especialmente la música. Yo empecé a interesar por esto cuando yo tina unos diez años, en el distante año de 2005. Yo compré un DVD del cantante americano Elvis Presley.

Well, as a way of training my English skills, I'll write some texts about a wide range of subjects. This one will be about Law. First of all, I'd like to say that it is very related to my family, since my father and brother are lawyers. But they work with it starting recently: my brother graduated in Law last year and my father last month. So, they are kind of newbies in this subject. Speaking about myself, I simply love Law, but I think I wouldn't be a good attorney. I have this opinion because I tried to learn Law for some months, but it simply didn't work. I had many questions  about it and I found it to be very complex, although I liked to attend the classes and made my homework decently. Nowadays, I have some kind of admiration to judges (as well as to all the people who work with Law, but judges are more badass than the others, IMO). I'd love to attend audiences and simply see all that thing work. It's such an interesting science (the Law science).

Longe de mim me considerar um expert  no aprendizado de línguas. Acho que nomes como Mairo Vergara, Paulo Nideck e Luiz Rafael sejam bem mais embasados do que eu. Mas, mesmo assim, quis fazer esse post. Aviso logo que nada aqui é definitivo e eu estarei atualizando o texto de tempos em tempos, teste após teste, até chegar em um material realmente de qualidade e útil, que possa ajudar iniciantes a alcançarem seus níveis almejados de desenvoltura em qualquer língua que queiram aprender. Sobre os nomes citados acima, eu tenho a dizer que li uma parte do livro do Mairo Vergara e vi alguns de seus excelentes vídeos disponíveis no YouTube. Também acessei o livro do Luiz Rafael (referência no ensino de japonês no Brasil) e alguns materiais do Paulo Nideck. Porém, eu acho que poderei desenvolver um método que seja adaptável a cada perfil de estudante e que traga resultados satisfatórios em pouco tempo.
