Listening, Writing, Translating and Learning!

If you study english like me, by yourself, I think really important you do it:
Create the legend for some videos, some times!
Why? Because to do it, you are obliged to listen to and watch, obviously, the same thing once, twice, thrice or much more times, to know exactly what the people are talking, I mean, you have interpret what is present through this.

So, a good exercise, isn't it? :D
I think so!

Well, I chose a english lesson video, which I like so much.
I'm don't just talking about that one, but I like so much of this method present by Michael F. Marzio, administrator of RealEnglish's channel on YouTube, together with some his friends and teachers who he knows.

But, before I begin, let me do a little observation here: As I am a self-student of English, sure, I can make some mistakes here. If you see something wrong in my translate, please, let me know it, through the field comments. Thank you! =D

Ok... Let's get started! ;-)

If you wacth the video first and follow the text after this, go ahead...
I think it's better, by the way...
So, play.

Some phrases with new words. (ESL)

I feel that I need to increase my english vocabulary. And it's right because I study this language and I want to have a fluent english. Ok. But how to do it? If you are an English Student as me, I must know that this part is one of de most difficult thing: Really learn, I mean, record in our mind some new words to thinking in use those naturaly. Some teachers say, and I believe in them, that you need read a lot and write double that you actualy do! When you do it, read, you know new words. When you write, you record those new words. It's like our brain works. So, to practice this part of my studys, I'll write some new words that I always listen to in news a read in books and magazines and after this, I'll write some short phrases with these words. If you want to do it too, feel free! It's really really. Ok, so, let's get started! The words that I chose for now: - Deep; - Overwhelm; - Overwhelming; - Struggle; - Threat; - Harsh; - I feel

We have to understand before to be understood!

Everybody have their own reasons to make some things, to complain about some things, but we don't understand those attitudes everytime. We see people talking a lot bad things, sometimes bad words,,, It's normal, We do this! We complain a lot and in the most of the time we do it because of silly things. But what we do not do is; Stop ourselves and look inside of each other, inside of the heart of each other and try to understand the root reasons of those things, to main reason of those attitudes! It's really hard, i know! But I think that we can change! I think that we can do everything better! I think that we can treat everyone better! I ain't a perfect person, of course not! I make many mistakes, many, many mistakes... But I have in my mind that what I have to do, I mean, I always trying to think before take some actions, and I guess that in the most of the time I'm doing right things... Well, I got the inspiration to write this post because I receiv

The world is upside down, but we must keep going!

I decided to post a picture of me smiling just because I want to be positive, but the truth is that the entire world is upside down nowadays, literally! Maybe you're aware of it, but if you don't for any reason, keep reading, I'll try to explain a little bit of what is going on... First, because it's the real deal now: There is a freaking pandemic going on here in our world called COVID-19 , or commonly called as Coronavirus. That freaking disease already not just infected millions of people around the world, but it killed more than a million people globally and it is still killing dozens, hundreds, sometimes and in some places thousands per day!! Crazy stuff... It is a very, very contagious disease, it is a very dangerous situation.. The World Health Organization  along with some of the biggest companies in the world is trying to understand and resolve the root cause of that disease, but it's not just all new to the world, but as I said, it's dangerou
