[Gustavo]

Hello everybody!
My name's Alessandro Gustavo (the people usually call me of Gustavo or
Gus). I'm 20 years old, from Curitiba/Brazil and studying Computer
Science. I work in a research group of computer vision at the
University. But I'm not so "nerds". :) I like sports, books, travels,
movies, aquariums, and so on...
My english isn't so advanced, but I want to improve it making friends
and talking by e-mail (here in group or in pvt -
agust...@gmail.com ) about anything. And I want to meet people from
different country to know about "life style" and culture in general. I
think it could be interesting.

Nice to meet you!
(and sorry for the english mistakes =/ )

[Eduardo Rocha]

One more person from the computer science :-)

Hi Gustavo,

What do you research? I had a colleague who worked with computer
vision. In fact, I think his research was autonomous navigation.
Anyway, you can explain here a little about your research. I'm sure in
a near future your advisor will ask you for a English paper. So, now
your have a chance to practice.

Take care

Eduardo

aloha!

Saber or whatever can make you feel comfortable.
My hometown is in China, Zhejiang, Hangzhou, but right now I am
studying in Wenzhou (which belongs to Zhejiang province as well) as an
English major, sophomore. What a shame, my English is still not so
satisfying. Err...i was forced to be an English major although I really
like to immense myself in an English world. My first choice was to be
doctor.

In my spare time I fond of listening music, all kinds of music, even
classic music^ ^. Besides, watching movies (no matter what language
they are) and English TV series, like Prison Break, Desperate
Housewives and CSI. Reading (majority are Chinese, he-he) is another
hobby of mine, but as matter of fact I spend very litter time on it in
this semester. Now I am trying my best to accomplish some short
English novels.

so nice to meet all of you here! ^0^

Hello everybody!
My name's Yoyi. I'm 19 years old. Now I'm a student majoring in

stage to show your English.

[Angel List]

P.S. you can contact with me via google talk or just Email me. My

[KNICKNAME]

Hi guys

My name is Robert but some people call me Roberto (especially people
from South America) Italy and Spain)

I´m a lot about thirty years old, I´ve lived in Vienna/Austria since
In was born and my mother tongue is German. That means the English
language is very easy to comprehend for me, because both of them have
more in common than differences.

But I´m still on an intermediate level (whatever that really means)
and I do a lot of things to improve my language skills on a daily
basis.

I´ve started my Blog http://robert-esl.blogspot.com/ to share with
YOU. There is a lot of useful stuff for ESL-Learners and students on
each level of proficiency

I alway listen to the ESLpod.com podcasts because there is mostly
something new to learn and I´m a member so I get the transcripts and I
have to say learning by LISTENING and READING at the same time is an
easy way to grasp new things in a natural way.

I´d hope that here would be some more conversation. Is someone out
there with some topic to discuss ??

And hey buddies, if there is something red underlined in your posting
field - that means it is misspelled. Do some lookups in dictionaries.
That ´d be a great way to improve your English level.

BR, Robert(o)

Hi my name is Robert(o),

I´m a robot that´s why I´m being called Robert because of the
similarity.

I´m based on artificial intelligence of the third generation V.32.21
and my purpose is to help ESL students with useful links to FREE web
resources to support people by giving them the opportunity to improve
their Language skills with proofed educational stuff

My program makes me do some falures by accident, my debugger is
uninitiated, and I misspell words on purpose -> so that the students
believe I would be a real person. That´s for street-creditability
reasons, I pretending: I´m not perfect so I must be a human being.

a good place

Actually I'm very interesting in such places as:

McQuillan and the style he explains English words.

My favorite is drawing. When I was 4, my father bought me colorful pen

Ever since, I lost myself in drawing. My biggest dream is to be a

[mayank]

Hi Everyone,

I am Mayank, 23 years old Electronics Graduate. I belong to a place
called Ashta (India).At present i live at Mumbai and I'm working here
as Software Engineer.

I am very happy to have located this group with members from such
diverse locations and i sincerly hope that discussions here would help
enhance not just of english skill but also of communicating
effectively.

I had appeared for TOEFL earlier and got a score of 105. But I intend
to take test once again in near Future.

Looking Forward to Discussions with you all.

My mail id is mayank...@gmail.com

Please Correct me if possible.

You're welcome Mayank!

We regularly discuss various topics. You may see the group history.
Usually someone asks some questions or proposes a topic and everyone
can give his or her opinion.

> I had appeared for TOEFL earlier and got a score of 105. But I intend

Have you done TOEFL IBT? 105 is a very high score in this test.

> Please Correct me if possible.

I have to say that we usually don't correct the other's e-mail. First
because we are all learning English, so we could teach something
wrong. Second, here we are not worried with mistakes. If someone do
not understand what you are saying, he or she have only to ask
something to you. That is good once it promotes interaction between
people. The mistakes will disappear with time. Reading will help a lot
with this process. So, do not worry with mistakes, just write as much
as you want to.

Best regards,

Eduardo R.

[Josney Faryj]

Hi there!

I guess the mod asked for my intro.

I'm a Brazilian guy, 24, 6'1", 176 lbs, easygoing, seeking partner in
crime, yes, a romantic relationship. Hobbies include drinking,
exercising, going clubbing at the weekend, working the entire day,
writing articles, listening to good songs, making up funny stories,
chatting every day matters (gossiping) and last but not least
practicing English. Really anyone bigger than me (rare) and smarter
than me (common) is eligible. I'm just looking for someone to be alone
with. And I'm also seeking someone who has cracked a book in the past
year, and who understands that an exclamation point is the equivalent
of laughing at your own joke.

Yes: Reading, complaining, love ballad music and staying home.

No: Recovering alcoholics, vegetarians, wrap-around sunglasses and the
like.

Respond with a correctly spelt description of yourself and your three
favorite Dorothy Parker quotes.

Hey, forget about it, I know it’s a language group. But since I ended
my long-term relationship last Friday, I thought I could find someone
of my interest in the group. OK, I’m joking around.

Here’s my formal introduction:

I’m Brazilian, I live in Curitiba, southern Brazil, in a quite big
house with my mother and two sisters. I’m not from a well-to-do
family, if you’re wondering that… I’m a logistic analyst and foreign
trade expert.  There at home there’s my dynamic duo: the cat, called
Saori, and the old dog, called Magali. I work for a medium company
during the day and at night I teach at a local university.

I’ve spoken English for over the past seven years. I’m currently
preparing for the CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) and
studying French for either pleasure or as a prerequisite for working
in Canada. I’m of Arab, Italian, Spanish and Polish descent… Maybe you
won’t find anyone as mixed as me. I find this quite fascinating.

Looking forward to hearing interesting comments from you,

Josney

[anurag barthwal]

Great Josney!
Hats off to your introduction!
Never seen such witty, effervescent and gripping penmanship by someone to
introduce himself.
Keep it up!
You have miles to go as a writer, reporter, copy editor or maybe, as a blogger!
I think, its the best introduction I've ever read.
Never knew if introductions could be so gripping, entertaining and such a fun to read.
God bless you!

Hello Anu,

 

Thanks for your patience while reading my intro. I had no idea someone would split his or her sides with laughter it. Maybe ending the relationship worked out in my case. I feel as if I was a new person and perhaps I am :-)))

 

Anyway, I'll be a writer in (the) near future. Life has to have fun, doesn't it?

 

All the best,

[Francesco]

Ciao Everybody,
I'm Francesco Rossetti (simply Francesco or francesco_jsb as Johann
Sebastian Bach :-)) ...)

I'm from Taranto (in the heels of Italy, face to face with wonderful
Jonio Sea), I'm 41 and I'm a musician (I play classical guitar). I
worked as a project manager in Information Technology too.

I hope it would be not too late to improve my English, recently I've
decided to do it and during one of my web surfing I ran into your
group, and I was attracted to it here and now.

In the past I've spent some vacations in English-spoken countries
(Florida, London...), not enough to really learn. Now I'm trying to
understand which are the best steps for my improvement path (and I've
noticed that I'm easy to get lost :-)) )

Besides music, I arouse interest of many things (movies, theatre,
swimming, volleyball, trekking, fishing, journey, photography, qi
gong ...), but time's never enough to do everything.


Obviously I'll help with pleasure whoever wishes to learn Italian.

ciao, see you soon.

Francesco


P.S.- I was in a little trouble (but it's a google-groups matter, I
think) on how to post correctly this introducing message (within "new
members ..." topic all right, but where ?). I've thinked that
appending it to the first post was the proper place (and not to the
last one neither to others, because I'm not replying to another
introducing post ...) but it's not possible to reply to the first 18
ones (why 18 and not 17 ?); then, looking at the tree-structure,
replies aren't in a simple top-down location ... so I don't understand
how it works ... I know that it's maybe a no problem ... in case
just swat at my shoulder saying "take care of yourself" :-))

[anurag barthwal]

Hi Francesco,
You are welcome here. Don't worry about anything, Everyone is willing to help one-another here.
You are now in the league of extraordinary gentlemen :).
regards
Anu

Hello everyone, my name is Shenjian Miao(缪申建 in Chinese),and my
English name is Soft Feather(soft and feather are both a part of my

I'm a 22-year-old boy, who comes from Beijing, China where 2008
Olimpic games will be held. I was born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. I'm

Playing football was my favorite, but there was no so much chance to
doing it in my school. Now playing games takes my most leisure time. I
like War 3 most and play DOTA on line.
I like NewAge music, but not all of them. The first NewAge musical
band I contacted was Banderi who makes me be attracted by NewAge.
Reading poem it's my another hobby. Tagore is the poet I like most. So
it's so glad to find there are several members are from india.
I want improve my English for my furture career. And my short-aim is
to pass CET-6 a important test to colleage students in China. So
thanks for all the help from our members first. And the question is

Hi Soft Feather!

Welcome to this resourceful and friendly group!

Thank you for translating "C'est la vie" to English for me.;)
I answered Rocha's question some days ago,but the post vanished
somewhere in the cyberspace.;)

It's not that easy to spot a new member's self-introduction from a
long list of older messages.So please don't feel excluded or
discouraged at all.
I noticed yours because I was posting this afternoon at the same
time...

I only learned about the CET in China because SABER explained it
recently in her message regarding her Health Insurance Presentation.
As for your question:"What should I do to begin my English study",I'd
better leave it for another teacher,Warren or other members to
answer...

Visit here as often as you can!
The more you read and join the discussions,the better your English
will be.

Hello Shenjian.. you are Welcome!

I hope that you enjoy this group and make a lot of friends.

I´m glad to see more one Chinese member.

you said that enjoy play football  I think you did mean soccer didn´t you ?
As you know, here in Brazil soccer is the first practiced sport, but
play games is not so health like play sports. :-)

Anytime post one of your poem here at Group.

Nice to meet you.

Hi Ed.

I haven't written any poem, I just like reading it.So I'm sorry, you won't find my poem here.
Thanks for your advice again.

Hi Jose,

Welcome to this group!

Where in Spain are you from?I went to your lovely city Barcelona once
and wish to visit it again!!!;)

A colleague of mine is from Sevilla.He always makes me laugh when he
says he doesn't like HEAT or SUN.

I can sense that you've been reading some messages here for some
while...Am I right?;)

Just like I said to Soft Feather:
Come as often as you can,we'll help one another to improve our
English!

You'll be my resources whenever I need something about Spain.

A deal?;)

Best Regards,
Pauline

Hi Pauline,

I've been receiving emails from the group for 2 weeks but not always i have time to reply. But it's nice to go to your inbox and read in english about you.

I'm from La Mancha (the land of Quixote, you know). Now I live in Cuenca: a very beautiful, historical city (it's a heritage world city).
People think that all Spain is very hot but i could say you that where i live winters are very cold (sometimes extremely).

You can count on me as a resource about Spain.

Best regards

Hi Jose,

I hope I haven't bored you that much for the last 2 weeks!

It seems I finally managed to get your attention and response after 2
weeks' bla-bla-bla!:D
Let's consider it Mission Accomplished!LOL
Oh,dear!I forgot about the option of reading all posts through e-
mail...

I just looked through about 10 pages of Google images of Cuenca...such
AGELESS BEAUTIES!!!
I can't go on looking at more pictures...They make me want to fly
there right away...but I can't...just yet.:(

Great!From now on,you'll be my gateway to Spain and everything
Spanish!

Thanks a lot,Jose!

Pauline

[Andre Barbosa]

Hi everybody!

I´m here to introduce myself. My name´s André Barbosa, I´m from Brazil, I live on a city called Santo André, very near São Paulo. I´m 31 years old, and working as a Computer Programmer for about 10 years.

Well, in the world of technology everything happens in english, then I´ve studied 2 years and half many year´s ago, but I really never need to fully use my knowledge - just good reading skills are sufficient on the most cases.

But in the past 2 years, I´ve lived situations that makes me think "I´m not so good on this yet". First one, working on a project in a worldwide company, talking everyday with Mexicans, Argentine ans French people, everytime in English. The second one, an english interview on a job that I really wants to go, but I failed.

Well, talking to a coworker and friend (hello Oshiro!) he introduced me esl podcast and this list, and I´m here now, to learn and practice with you. And now I think I´ve writing a lot... :)

Regards,

André Barbosa

[edg...@gmail.com]

Hi André, nice to meet you
you are in the right place!

like you, there are a lot of IT professional here, I´m one of them,
and either IT professionals and non IT professionals know
that english is important. For that we try make this learning
more enjoyable and funny.

regards

Ed.

[styczen5]

Hi Andre,

Don't feel discouraged!

Working for a multinational company isn't that easy,but it's quite
challenging as well...

Whenever you aren't certain how to cope with any corss-culture
issues,please don't hesitate to ask us.What we have here is a very
strong team backed up by many nationalities.
I'll make sure next time you go for other job interviews,you'll be
well-prepared!We can rehearse the interviews beforehand...

Welcome to the group,Oshiro's buddy!:)

Pauline

[Rafael Oshiro]

Hi André!!

It´s good to see you here, although you´re next to me every day here at workplace hehehe.
As I rarely speak in English outside the English classes, here everybody everybody can improve English skill and find out about different cultures from many other countries.

By the way, I hope I can go for an English interview as soon as possible, so I can evaluate how my English is.

Welcome to the group!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, Everyone!

I'm very very very glad to find this group in google. I clicked the
this group hyperlink in ESL podcas blog comment. Almost 300 members
already joined and many articles is updating recently. I think all ESL
Podcast listners would be members of this group. Wow!!!

I'm K. Kim, Korean, working as a civil engineer in Korea. It would be
nice if you call me "Engineer.K". I'm always working with foreigners
of overseas projects. Because of this, I must learn english as a tool
to negociate or persuade my foreign clients.

I hope this group helps me alot. Although I enjoy listening ESL
podcast on the way to go to office or home, I often feels I need some
places or groups to practice and share my thought and ideas.

I hope I would meet good friends in this group and I hope I enhence my
english skill.

Thanks.
Kim.

[Rosângela Souza]
