Independence Day in Brazil

Brazil celebrates it independence from Portugal on September 7th. Dom João VI fled Portugal and established himself in the Rio de Janeiro, where he ruled Portugal's colonies. He remained their helping Brazil open up trade and only returned to Portugal in 1820 because of a revolution seeking to bring out a constitutional monarchy with Dom João VI as the monarch. He returned to Portugal leaving his son, Pedro, as the prince regent of Brazil. For Dom João VI's efforts in Brazil, he was historically called the "Founder of the Brazilian Nationality."

Hey Felipe !


What's up?
I'm traveling for Finland now.I'm a very lucky person, I got that job with Tim Burton, and now we are recording so many  beatiful imagens here.Of course that I'm freezing , even in the summer this country is cold , but the nature is so wonderful ,and the northern lights is the most amazing thing that I ever seen.The people are very polite , but I don't have much time with the local people, so I can't talk.
If you someday want to travel to some place diferent , here is the place. I just dont'like the food ,I don't know, maybe because is something heavy and very dificul to digest. But in general is a very beatiful country, and worth every minute of your time.
Kisses

     Nathalia.

I hope you enjoyed them... 
See ya =)

Carly Rae Jepsen
Hey, guys..

What's up?!

Take a look at this lyric....we had a simple past review with it  !

Call Me Maybe  

I threw a wish in the well,Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way

I trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way                                    

Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

It's hard to look right,
At you baaaabeh,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

And all the other boys,
Try to chaaase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
But still, you're in my way

I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
But it's in my way

Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

It's hard to look right,
At you baaaabeh,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

And all the other boys,
Try to chaaase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad

It's hard to look right,
At you baaaabeh,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

And all the other boys,
Try to chaaase me,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?

6 Mentiras sobre o aprendizado do Inglês



Aprender outro idioma é difícil

A verdade é que para aprender um novo idioma você precisará de muito tempo, mas não é difícil. Grande parte de seu aprendizado deve se basear no ouvir e ler, pois fazendo isso você irá adquirir um maior vocabulário e se acostumar com o novo idioma em sua vida. O problema é que muitos já querem sair falando inglês na primeira semana de estudo, o que nunca acontece.
Invista tempo no estudo que você verá que é mais fácil do que imagina.

Você precisa fazer um curso para falar outro idioma

Os cursos de idiomas convencionais são excelentes locais para se fazer amigos e treinar a fala, mas não é estritamente necessário frequentar um destes cursos para aprender o inglês, por exemplo. Não quero dizer que as salas de aula são dispensáveis, mas sim que ela não é a única forma de aprendizado.
Hoje em dia há vários sites, blogs e revistas que possuem excelente conteúdo para o estudo de inglês e que podem ajudar muito aqueles que não podem dispor de tempo (ou dinheiro) para fazer um curso regular.
E por muitas vezes os alunos que estudam por conta própria dispõem de mais tempo para o estudo do que os alunos de cursos convencionais, o que pode até mesmo tornar o aprendizado mais rápido.

Crianças aprendem outro idioma mais rápido que pessoas mais velhas

Muitos adultos colocam esta desculpa como fator primordial para não investirem tempo no estudo de um outro idioma, mas isto é uma mentira. O principal motivo é o fato de que um adulto convencional possui um vocabulário em sua língua nativa muito maior que o de uma criança, o que já facilita na absorção de novas palavras.
O que os adultos precisam ter é a coragem de aprender com o erro assim como as crianças, pois a vergonha de falar em público e de errar acabam atrapalhando no aprendizado.

Você precisa falar antes de qualquer coisa

Antes de falar o ideal é ler muito
Antes de falar o ideal é ler muito
Um dos maiores empecilhos do estudante de qualquer novo idioma é a ansiedade em aprender a falar e ouvir o idioma, e justamente por não conseguir isso muitos acabam desistindo. Para estes é importante lembrar que, para aprender a falar, uma criança vive praticamente só ouvindo os outros durante os dois primeiros anos de sua vida, para só depois disso começar a arriscar a falar.
Então que fique claro para não se decepcionar: No início de seu aprendizado você deverá ler e ouvir muito, para só depois de conseguir um bom vocabulário se arriscar a pronunciar as primeiras frases.

Eu gostaria de aprender outro idioma, mas não tenho tempo para estudar

Sempre temos tempo para aquilo que valorizamos
Sempre temos tempo para aquilo que valorizamos
A falta de tempo é uma boa desculpa pra quase tudo na vida. Seja tempo para investir na família, tempo para investir em atividades físicas ou mesmo tempo para investir em sua carreira. Porém é fato que nós sempre conseguimos tempo para tudo aquilo que é importante para nós. Analise bem sua rotina e veja se não é assim?
Desta forma, se você diz não ter tempo para estudar inglês, provavelmente você ainda não valoriza o estudo do idioma a ponto de se dispor a estudá-lo com disciplina.

Para aprender outro idioma a pessoa precisa ter o dom para isso

Esta é uma das maiores inverdades. Para aprender outro idioma ou qualquer outra coisa, basta apenas que a pessoa realmente queira fazê-lo. Em países como a Holanda e Suécia é comum as pessoas falarem mais de um idioma. Atletas de todo o mundo geralmente falam mais de um idioma, principalmente por estarem competindo pelo mundo afora.
Na verdade o aprendizado de novos idiomas está diretamente relacionado à atitude, e não a aptidão, e é isso que determina o sucesso do aprendizado.

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket


A Series of Unfortunate Events is a series of children's novels (or novellas) by Lemony Snicket (the pen name of American author Daniel Handler) which follows the turbulent lives of VioletKlaus, and Sunny Baudelaire after their parents' death in an arsonous house fire. The children are placed in the custody of their distant cousin Count Olaf, who begins to abuse them and openly plots to embezzle their inheritance. After the Baudelaires are removed from his care by their parents' estate executor, Arthur Poe, Olaf begins to doggedly hunt the children down, bringing about the serial slaughter and demise of a multitude of characters.
The entire series is actively narrated by Snicket, who makes numerous references to his mysterious, deceased love interestBeatrice. Both Snicket and Beatrice play roles in the story along with Snicket's family members, all of whom are part of an overarching conspiracy known to the children only as "V.F.D."
Since the release of the first novel, The Bad Beginning, in September 1999, the books have gained significant popularity, critical acclaim, and commercial success worldwide, spawning a filmvideo game, and assorted merchandise. The thirteen books in the series (or "tridecalogy") have collectively sold more than 60 million copies and have been translated into 41 languages.
FORTUNATELY, you can now find these books at International House!!! Dont' waste time and start now reading this incredible and funny story. I hope you enjoy it!!

Los Planetas - Un buen día

UN BUEN DÍA Me he despertado casi a las diez y me he quedado en la cama más de tres cuartos de hora, y ha merecido la pena. Ha entrado el sol por la ventana, y han brillado en el aire algunas motas de polvo. He salido a la ventana y hacía una estupenda mañana. H e bajado al bar para desayunar y he leído en el Marca que se ha lesionado el niñato. Y no me he acordado de ti hasta pasado un buen rato. Luego han venido estos por aquí y nos hemos bajado a tomarnos unas cañas, y me he reído con ellos. He estado durmiendo hasta las seis y después he leído unos tebeos de Spiderman, que casi no recordaba. Y he salido de la cama He puesto la tele y había un partido y Mendieta ha marcado un gol realmente increíble. Y me he puesto triste el momento justo antes de irme. Había quedado de nuevo a las diez y he bajado en la moto hacia los bares de siempre, donde quedaba contigo, y no hacía nada de frío. He estado con Erik hasta las seis y nos hemos metido cuatro millones de rayas. Y no he vuelto a pensar en ti hasta que he llegado a casa, y ya no he podido dormir como siempre me pasa.

Let's *honestly* celebrate Brazilian Valentine's Day

Es ist wie es ist - PUR



Das Warten ist die kleine Sterbenszeit
Die Ungewissheit glotzt von weissen Wänden
Du weißt zwar jetzt ist es noch nicht so weit
Doch das Ergebnis kann die Welt verändern


Die Welt wie Du sie für Dich siehst
Wie Du gewinnst, manchmal verlierst
Gerät vielleicht aus der Balance
Vielleicht ist nichts mehr wie es war
Vielleicht bist Du bald nicht mehr da
Die nackte Angst – verinnerlicht
die Hoffnung bleibt
und kämpft um Dich
Ref. Es ist wie es ist
Du bist was Du bist
Du lebst mit den Freuden
Und lebst mit den Leiden
Ob bitter ob süß
Was immer Du fühlst
Das hier ist Dein Leben
Und Du kannst entscheiden
Ob Du ohnmächtig alles erträgst
Oder all Deine Chancen abwägst
Es ist wie es ist
Nur ein Verdacht, der erste Schock saß tief
Es ist so wohlig auf der Sonnenseite
Weil auch bis hierher alles blendend lief
Geschick und glück als gute Wegbegleiter
Es kann nicht sein was nicht sein darf
Der Gedanke raubt den Schlaf
Das macht alles keinen Sinn
Du hast doch niemand was getan
Was? Wer? Tut warum Dir das an
Und wer bestimmt?
Das ist verrückt
All zu banal
Nur Pech + Glück
Warum ich?
Warum nicht Du?
Ref. Es ist wie es ist
Du bist was Du bist
Du lebst mit den Freuden
Und lebst mit den Leiden
Ob bitter ob süß
Was immer Du fühlst
Das hier ist Dein Leben
Und Du kannst entscheiden
Ob Du ohnmächtig alles erträgst
Oder all Deine Chancen abwägst
Es ist wie es ist
C. Warum ich? Warum nicht Du?
Warum nicht ich? Warum Du?
Warum ich? Warum nicht Du?
Warum nicht ich? Warum Du?
Ref. Es ist wie es ist
Du bist was Du bist
Du lebst mit den Freuden
Und lebst mit den Leiden
Ob bitter ob süß
Was immer Du fühlst
Das hier ist Dein Leben
Und Du kannst entscheiden
Es ist wie es ist

Eine gute Woche für alle !!!

Esta canción se la ofrezco a mis alumnos

Antes (Jorge Drexler) Antes de mí tú no eras tú, antes de ti yo no era yo. Antes de ser nosotros dos no había ninguno de los dos, no había ninguno de los dos. Antes de ser parte de mí, antes de darte a conocer, tú no eras tú y yo no era yo, parece que fuera antes de ayer, parece que fuera antes de ayer. Antes que nada yo quiero aclarar que no es que estuviera,tampoco pasándolo mal antes. (tampoco estaba pasándolo mal antes) Pero algo de mí, yo no supe ver hasta que no me lo mostró, algo de tí, que quiero creer que no vio nadie antes que yo, que nadie vio antes que yo Después de todo lo que quiero es decir que no entiendo como podía vivir antes, no entiendo como podía vivir antes no entiendo como podía vivir antes no entiendo como podía vivir Antes de mí tu no eras tu, antes de tí yo no era yo. Antes de ser nosotros dos no había ninguno de los dos. Antes de ser parte de mí, antes de darte a conocer, tú no eras tú y yo no era yo, parece que fuera antes de ayer, parece que fuera antes de ayer. Antes de irme yo debo decir: yo también pensaba que era feliz antes (pero) No entiendo como podía vivir antes.

Let's do it?

1) Write the number of the year of you birth
2) Now double that number
3) Add #5
4) Multiply by #50
5) Add your age
6) Add #365, for the number of the days in a year
7) Subtract #615
