Once upon a time, there was an English student named Leo Matto who had a passion for learning new languages. He had always dreamed of being fluent in English, but He struggled with grammar and pronunciation.
Leo was determined to improve, so he made a plan to practice every day. He spent hours reading English books, watching English movies, and listening to English music. At first, it was challenging, but she didn’t give up.
One day, Emily decided to take a trip to an English-speaking country. He was nervous about communicating with locals, but she knew this was his chance to immerse herself in the language. He was determined to use everything he had learned to make the most of his experience.
As soon as he arrived, Leo found that his hard work had paid off. He was able to order food in a restaurant, ask for directions, and even make some new friends. Every day, he gained more confidence in his English skills.
When Leo returned home, he was surprised at how much progress he had made. He no longer struggled with grammar and his pronunciation had improved. He realized that his hard work and dedication had paid off, and he was proud of himself for never giving up.
From that day on, Leo continued to study English and never stopped practicing. He knew that anything was possible with hard work, dedication, and a never-give-up attitude.
Well, up to this point, I’m getting better at English, but there are some moments I feel uncomfortable, and all these situations make me a little sad because I’m not able to understand English natives from any country who speak English as their first or second language. To solve, or at least to try to solve this problem that I have with my English skills, I’ve been watching a lot of videos on YouTube every day so I can train and practice my English. I have found a lot of YouTube channels that have helped me a lot, and they are still helping me with what I should do to become more confident in English. I made three new foreign friends who are helping me with my English skills every day. They are natives of the USA, and I’m an English learner from Brazil. We text a lot with each other, sharing moments and stories about ourselves just to relax, and we ended up making a group on Snapchat. It’s been a few weeks since I made these friendships through an app that I downloaded from Google.
The cabin of my little paradise
Today, I talked to them a lot on Snapchat, and I also talked to another friend from the United States. We made a phone call with each other, and we even decided to change the phone call to a video call, and it was amazing. We had a lot of fun talking to each other. Now, let’s talk a little bit about the apps that I use to help me learn all the languages I’m learning at the same time, which are English, Spanish, French, and Korean. Maybe I can start learning Chinese in the middle of this week. I have just a few apps that help me a lot every day, which are Duolingo, Grammarly, Cake, and Busuu. In my opinion, these are the best apps that can help anyone learn more about languages. There’s an app here that I didn’t mention inside the list, which is OpenAI. OpenAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) that can help YouTube content creators to generate scripts for their videos when they need more content. OpenAI was created to help people learn new things every day. You can perform several searches on the platform by clicking on the button below and adding your question, and OpenAI will do the rest for you.
In this part of my diary, I’m going to talk about a friend in common who lives in the United States. Yesterday, we had our first conversation ever. Yes, that’s right. We had never seen or talked to each other before. I met him on social media one week ago, and yesterday we had our first phone call, which then led to a video call. I have to say, it was a wonderful day. Even though I couldn’t understand half of what he was saying, I felt motivated and comfortable for a good part of our conversation. I was very anxious and nervous, which disturbed me a lot, but I am feeling more than happy because all of these good things that are happening to me now are the best things that could happen to me.
What’s up, everybody? My name is Alex, and I’m 19 years old. Today is my first day writing my first diary about my personal life, and it’s a new experience for me. I’ve always liked the idea of writing and sharing a little bit about my personal life with people. To be honest, it’s something I’ve been meaning to do. And now we’re here, doing it. I’m not sure if I’m going to share this diary with anyone else, but it will be here for posterity. Let’s get started!
A little bit about myself
As I said before, my name is Alex, and I’m 19 years old. I’m the type of guy who doesn’t like to spend time at parties with friends or hang out during the day. The thing I like to do the most all day is to learn languages by myself at home. I usually wake up around 6:34 or 7:56 am, and the first things I do are brush my teeth and wash my face. I never skip this simple routine when I wake up in the morning. After I finish doing everything else I need to do for the day, I move to my study table where I have all the notebooks I use to learn languages every single day. When I was younger, I started to dream of learning English and Spanish. As I had these dreams, I also started to think about learning other languages like French and Korean. Now, here I am, starting my journey as an English learner, but I already know it won’t be as easy as I thought it would be. I face some difficulties that I’m unfortunately still struggling with.
Thanks for reading and see you in the next part of my diary…kisses!!!
