Hi Aparecida, permiss me to make a little question, are you from Brazil? Well, i'm from there and think you could be so too because of your name but, it's just a fluttering talk. Well, I'm 31 years old but still studying on the high school, i want to be a Business Administrator very soon. Would be very nice to talk with you here and practice some english because i need it too much ( i think you have already noticed ), The exchange of experiences always can bring something good for both of parts, will be great to be your chat friend!!!!

Hi I am from México. I have just entered this course. I am a salesman of industrial products dealing with people from USA but no very fluent in
english. I enjoy reading, music and watching TV (in a small degree). I would like to practice my English and learn about people from other countries.

Hello Dreadmour,
Yes, I am Brazilian, and I suppose this is your nick since it is noththing familiar with a Brazilian name. But anyway, I am glad to be able to share some of my little knowledge of the English language with you. You said you are still a high school student and plan to make a career in Business Administartion. So, you will certainly need good English if you wish for a good position in a large multi-national company. I presume you are taking English course, aren't you? Which school do you go and which level are you. If there is anything in particular concerning the language that you are interested in, just let me know and I will be very pleased to help you. good luck Cida

Hi Zue,
First of all I am glad that you have some of the same interests as I have. Here goes some information about my country which I suppose you may know since you work in the shippment area. Well, I am from Brazil, which is located in South America, and our native language is Portuguese. It is a large country, very well known for its "Tropical Amazonas Forest". Our population is two hundred million people. Most of the incomes come from automobile factores, agriculture and cattle. We have a rich soil in mimeral and metal as well. We export a great deal of soy beams, coffee, meat such as beef, poultry, and some other things. People in Brazil are very friendly and all nations are welcome. I would like to know where you are from and if your name is a famele or male name since I am not familiar with those names. Hope we can learn good things from each other's country. Cida

Hello Juan,
Like you, I just signed in as a member of this English Club Forun and I am very pleased to know how people are interested not only in practicing the language but also learning about other people's country. I see you are from Mexico and I am from Brazil. Being close neighbors, I suppose you may know a lot about Brazil as we know about Mexico. We are the only country in South America that do not speak Spanish, but we can understand each other speaking a kind of "Portinhol". It is a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish. Because Brazil's border is surrounded by countries that speak Spanish, we Brazilian people are used to have many Spanish spoken language people in Brazil and have no problem in understanding them. If there anything in particular about Brazil that you are intereste in, I will be happy to inform you. Hope to se you around on the net. Cida

Thanks for your comments. Well Brasil is such a big country that I am sure it has plenty of beautifull places and a very interesting culture to learn about. I am noticing that your english is very good and I think it would be very nice to receive your messages and interchange ideas and information about our respective countries.
Regards
Juanjavier

Hi again Aparecida, First of all let me ask something related with your name, do you like other people calling you of Cida or some strictly formal like Aparecida? Ah, My second name is Aparecido, the first is Rogério. My nickname it's a medley about the name of Mordred, the son of King Arthur, but a little bit more styllish and conversed, always liked the tales of the knights of Round table. Thank you for the support, i'm taking no english teachings in any language school, i study by myself about almost six years, i'm a nerd, it's just a kidding but i like it!!! I'm serious when i said that i have learned everything by myself, it is not too much but with lesser money and some will power to study, tcharaam, here i am!!!! Nice to meet you, hope to talk with you in many other opportunities. See ya!!!!
