Hi all,

Yesterday I wrote my first post here in Journaly: a book review. I have to say I couldn't be happier with the outcomes. I honestly had decent levels of expectation, but it was even better.

So, since I enjoyed the platform and, more than that, I liked the people who are here, I've decided to write one more post today. However, today, I'd like to talk a little bit about myself and about how I came here. Why?

Especially because I see on Journaly a great potential to not only improve my language skills but also to know different people and to build relationships. Let's be honest: Is there a better way to start other than at the beginning? I guess not. So, here we go:

My name is Ana Carolina, I'm 24, and I'm from Brazil. I had studied English for about four years in a traditional course here in Brazil when I was younger. When I say traditional, I mean a course that offers group classes, in person, twice a week, and each class lasts 2 hours or less.

However, after that, I had never used the language (in real life) until the beginning of this year, when I started work for international clients. By the way, I'm an Engineer. Since then, I've been working hard on improving my English. Currently, I'm studying in a new way, by myself, and using a completely different approach (but this is a topic to another post).

On this journey, I discovered myself as a language enthusiast, and here I am. In my free time, aside from studying English, I enjoy reading, playing the guitar, and going outside with my friends and family.

Well, for the time being, that's pretty much it. I have no doubt we'll have wonderful opportunities to know each other better further down the road. Nice to meet you!
