0:53
not very very easy because when I I
0:56
started learning in this language I
0:58
didn't have money and
1:01
that was very difficult uh that was in
1:04
um this basically started when I was in
1:07
my Middle School uh I think that was in
1:11
2007 something like that right so uh I
1:15
was learning and I was giving up most of
1:18
the time learning and giving up because
1:20
you know our official language is
1:22
Portuguese and sometimes speaking
1:24
English alone can actually seems crazy
1:27
to a little boy but I didn't give up I
1:31
did my best and uh I can say that I'm
1:34
happy because of English because most of
1:36
the thing that I have is thanks to
1:38
English very good so so then how do you
1:41
feel that English has has benefited you
1:44
personally well uh firstly uh I can
1:47
understand everything better not only in
1:49
English but in other areas as well I can
1:54
be um very passionate of reading that
1:59
because of English because in the
2:01
beginning I didn't like to read a lot
2:04
but because of some book that I have
2:06
read before you know I'm really
2:08
passionate of reading a lot of books you
2:10
know about science about God technology
2:14
and much more so um besides the money
2:18
that I have at that moment I can say
2:21
that I could meet a lot of great people
2:25
and I have a great friends thanks to
2:27
English so I'm really glad you know for
2:30
his language very good so then in your
2:33
opinion what do you think personally is
2:37
the best way to learn
2:39
English well as a teacher I think uh the
2:43
best way to learn a language not only
2:44
English but a language is just uh by uh
2:49
speaking and listening because just like
2:51
a little boy or a baby girl the first
2:54
thing they do is listening right they
2:56
listen and after they repeat what other
2:58
people at home says right basically this
3:02
is what I what I think firstly you have
3:04
to listen a lot and after you will
3:07
reproduce the same sound you listen all
3:09
of the times yeah basically that way and
3:13
don't forget to practice a lot right yes
3:15
of course yeah from what you've observed
3:18
as a teacher as
3:19
well do you find any common mistakes
3:23
that maybe students
3:25
make mistakes that appear frequently
3:28
what do you think about that
3:31
well um yeah sure I found it a lot
3:34
because um even uh you know in a lot of
3:38
community a lot of teachers they are all
3:40
all of the time committing mistakes um
3:43
the thing is English is not our official
3:46
language and sometimes we join you know
3:49
the pronunciation with the some of our
3:52
mother tongues we have here in Angola
3:54
some of them are very difficult and the
3:56

4:01
tongue there are some songs that doesn't
4:03
you know that don't actually change they
4:06
come from our mouth but they don't
4:08
