One DROP for day - 1

- Hi!

- How are you?

- Sorry...

Yes, I apologise and I know, my dear blog, I’m so cheeky...


But, who isn’t?

To begin with, I had left behind some things because I needed to feel more confident in my new life in another country to start to write. What I mean by that is at the beginning was terrible for me, especially in the first month. I couldn’t understand anything what the people was saying. I couldn’t understand a simple “hi, how are you?” when I went to the supermarket, for example, and I used to say a lot of “sorry”... The problem is the Australian accent is so HARD. They don’t speak, they used to whisper. Really! I’m really sorry (over again...) for write it, but it’s true. And you can imagine the situation: My English is poor, I don’t speak very well – exactly why I came here to improve my speaking, listening and writing – and the Australian people used to say:


- How aria? (How are you?); - Whata (Water); - Mayo (mayonnaise); - See a! (See you), etc...


Well, I haven’t understood what the Australian people say yet, but I can understand Colombian people, German people, French people and even Japanese people... ah, and Indian people as well. Not too bad, don’t you think?

But,

What I really want is can speak faster. My brain is too much slowly...



** “A drop for day” is my new series for my writing about my new life in Australia. (I have been living here since June, 27 – exactly 3 months later I got married in Brazil). And I decide to write in English. Please, my dear, a lot of mistakes will appear but I really want to practice my English and, write, how my teacher says, it is the best way to improve it. [I accept corrections if someone is reading me. I’m not sure if anyone reads my writing...].
