Grand Opening! :- )



Hi!This is my first post!!I´m glad I finally wrote something hehehehe!
Well,first I want to tell you something about me!My name is Carolina,I´m 27 years old and I´m from Rio de Janeiro,Brasil.I´ve finished my english course 11 years ago at a public english course in the town I live:São Gonçalo.This english course,called Centro de Linguas da Semec, is totally free and gives opportunity first for students of public schools,most of these students don´t have financial conditions to pay an english course that is so expensive,and after,the community also have opportunity to learn a language for free!The teachers are great!I´m very glad I had their support to know english as I know now!But,since I have finished my course     I´ve been practicing my english basically  through english musics and movies.Sometimes at my work(I work at the ferry in Rio)I meet american people and that´s when I have the chance to practice speaking.I know there´s a lot of people like me.And I know there´s a lot of people that could share their english knowledge.So I´m inviting all of you,it doesn´t matter if you are starting your course or finished,it doesn´t even matter if you don´t know english yet because I´m studying the possibility to start a basic course here soon.In fact,that´s why I added Google Talk as a gadget to turn it possible to make a conversation class,so we won´t be limited to practice just reading,writing and listening,we´ll get together to speak!
To finish my post I´ll give you a tip of a good software freeware who helps specially kids,but starters can also use it,to practice english words,numbers and so on.I use it with my children and it really works!It´s very good!
