I was going to talk about our last class, but I forgot my book in home, so I decided to share this wonderful picture I found on Facebook. What do you think? This pic got me a thought. Once, a friend of mine said she had dreamed in English. And she told me that she was happy because when this happens it means your learning is finally achieving your brain in an unconscious way. Why did I think of that? Well, because when you are reading a text, you don't know what some words mean, but you can understand them by context, right? I said that because I don't know what hatchling, nestling, fledglin and dromaeosour mean, but it's possible to infer from their definitions. In other words, you don't have to look at a dictionary everytime. We're close to a level where we can learn more and more by inference as we do in Portuguese. And that's a sign that you're in a great step of your goal which is to speak English well. Congratulations, fellows! ;)Friday, March 28, 2014

Hi Luciano!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this text.
I agree with you, about learn about inference.
Here my contribution:
More ways to learn english:
-Read for the general meaning first. Don't worry about understanding every word, then go back and look up new words.
- Learn root words. They'll help you guess the meaning of words. For example:scrib = write, min = small
Bye!
