today I'll tell you how this language moves my life, and how connected I am to it. Since I was a child, I got enchanted when pastors from many parts of the world came to the church I was a member, and preached the gospel in English, supported by simultaneous translation. I couldn't even blink my eyes. Without I could notice, some seed was being planted and was taking a large place in my heart. An old friend named Cisso and I, used to play: I was the international man (the pastor) while he was the translator. I pretended to be speaking English creating my own words and Cisso pretended to be translating thoses weirds words properly... it was really funny, and the people around us loved to see that and many of them were impressed for we were good doing that!!! As time went on, our performance was getting even better and we were getting addicted to it... (Good memories of my friend and this time).
Well, this time is gone, the seed grew up and became a healthy plant, which needs to be water every single day. Today, I'm a lover of this language, feel happy when I learn something new, feel thankful when I can help someone, and for sure, it started many years ago, when I was a little child.
And now, what am I supposed to do? Keep working, study as much as I can, and show the people in the future, how beautiful tree, with deep roots we can be, beginning as a little seed. It depends only on you and me!!!
See you next time,
Tiago.
