Portuguese Brazilian - student feedback

Days you will again see your precious Rio

I'm Lana Kislitsina, and I 'ears' in love with the magical Brazil, I left my heart in carnival Rio de Janeiro, and soon I just obliged to go for himI love Portuguese, I live in the city of Rostov-on-don, work medical laboratory technician in the intensive care unit. Studying at the University, and this is probably the only thread which I pulled back) to Brazil from Sunny Rio. To say that I didn't at the end of your holiday, to leave this magnificent city is to say nothing. Early in the morning I arrived at the airport, it was raining, in my soul, mournful, sad. My heart sank of the thought of the imminent parting with my love-Rio. I do not remember, how was the check-in, but sitting on the plane and admiring the beauty of Rio, I felt like someone rolls up to the throat(also from Rio support, I should not have to wait-he was already crying, seeing me in a long way the rain).

Mentally calmed myself: 'you're not crying, you're not a weakling or something.

Think, year old patient. 'And in order to boost their morale, I decided to listen to music in stressful situations my baby boy was a player I always saved up for the positive.

For me, Brazil is the heart of the world

But this time, I was brutally set up, after clicking the button, played the song, the first line of the song reads:"don't cry, my dear, our love is not over."I burst into sobs. Was able to calm down for an hour, being high in the sky and far from my tales of Brazil. These are the feelings engendered in me Brazil is a country which is full of lovely, good-natured, beautiful people with an open mind. Brazil is a fabulous world, a world of Sun, light, heat, bright colors, indescribable beauty. My acquaintance with the Portuguese language I was only a year ago, when I, in search of fresh music, stumbled upon the songthen, how embarrassing for me to admit, I didn't even know what language this song is sung, but I was so struck by the tenderness, gentleness and the magic sound of this language, I rushed to look for the lyrics in order to translate and to learn (with translation helped me a great and an excellent translator) On the one song I couldn't stop it, memorize it, I already fell in love with Portuguese (Brazilian) language. Then I became acquainted with the work of Alba to Romulus (Brazilian singer), learned and transferred a dozen of her songs. Then, I began to search for movies in Portuguese, for me it was a discovery that Brazilian soap operas, which in ancient times was broadcast on Brazilian television it is even and nothing, and even can be fun to watch. Before, I didn't do it - not watching TV, right now not looking, but became an ardent fan of Brazilian soap operas and the benefit of, at the moment I can enjoy these serials in the original, without speaking Portuguese translation.

My level of knowledge of Portuguese can do it.

But to achieve this level I had to overcome a thorny path. Thorny it was for me due to the fact that about a year ago (in February) Natalia Popeline have not yet created your wonderful website, and I had so like her, in the old days, to search through the entire Internet to find any available material in Portuguese, the courses we have in that time had (and still does not), books can not be found, only by special order and at unrealistically high price. By the time I came across the website of Natalia, and signed up for the distribution of free lessons, I had gained a good language base (because I just lived the Portuguese, I did at least - hours a day, and then have definitely watched the series-a different series).The lessons that I was sent Natalia was very informative and structured. (and, although most of the available material I was already familiar with, I still learned many interesting facts about Brazil). I also really liked the audio files of lessons, which duplicated the written text. Most importantly, the Natalia in their lessons uses words most used by native speakers. Love for Brazil is apparently some kind of virus, for everyone who was with me in Rio, 'sick' Brazil, and really want to go back. They have already started to learn Portuguese, and all of them of course I was advised to enroll in classes to Natalia. I am very grateful to Natalia for the fact that in addition to the knowledge she loaded me with positive energy, incredible strength and faith in the possibility of ‘impossible' in your dreams. Thank You, Natalia. Good luck and patience to all who are to be only at the beginning of the path, the path that will lead to closer acquaintance with Brazil, and the inevitable love it.
