A brand new school year!
Hehe…
Getting ready for our new school year!!
Hi everyone! I’m here working things out (planejando cuidadosamente, compreendendo mais informação nova) for our new school year!
A poeira toda levanta, lembram? E reorganizando tudo nas “gavetinhas” do meu cérebro, de maneira que tudo faça ainda mais sentido, para que possamos crescer no entendimento, conhecimento e uso da língua inglesa. Depois virá o mais divertido: usarmos tudo isso juntos!!
Meanwhile, don’t miss a single opportunity to get involved and practice! Are you visiting other countries and practicing your English? Maybe you’re in town watching movies during your free time! Or you’re here! Taking your time to read what I post on this Blog or on my Facebook page, for you to warm up before the school year starts!
So if that’s true, good for you!!
How Do You Motivate Yourself When Learning a Language?
Read some statements about it and find the one that best describes you!
I watch movies and TV shows and enjoy the feeling when I can understand a word or a sentence.
I imagine that one day I will visit or live in that country!
Being in places where people speak the language is great motivation.
I make friends with people who speak that language.
Imagine that you could speak to everyone in the world. You would have freedom to go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone! It’s a great motivator.
I like to find funny words in the language I am learning!
Listening to songs in the language encourages me to work to understand them!
I try to read books, newspapers and websites in that language. It makes it seem more real!
I study other aspects of the culture too, which makes it more rewarding to study the language.
I change the ways I study frequently so it doesn’t get boring!
Talking with native speakers of the language is great practice and motivation!
I always set a concrete language goal for the future. Achievable goals are a great motivator!
Make learning fun! If you are bored by what you are doing, find another way to do it!
Watch YouTube videos of other people who have successfully learned the language. This will really inspire you to study!
I enjoy using the language to order at restaurants from the countries I am learning about!

to complete or finish something in a satisfactory way:
