More About Me

I'm passionate about

Teaching English as a second language to adults that had assumed they'd reached their full professional and personal potencial and now have to reconsider their roles in a globalized world.

An idea worth spreading

Being able to communicate to people around the globe in real time, sharing ideas, influencing and being influenced is one of the greatest achivements of our era.
We already have the technology, but we either do not know how a foreign languague or in many cases we are too afraid of making mistakes and being criticized by our peers.
In order to have a globalized country we have to be global, we need to speak at least one more languague, maybe English could be the best investiment, but there are opportunities everywhere we look and at this moment we can't affort not to look everywhere.
Learning foreign languagues will help us not only communicarte more precisely, but also to make us more tolerant and understanding towards one another.
Learning foreign languagues is an idea worth spreading, the question is how can we teach everyone that can not afford it?

People don't know that I'm good at

fixing things, I am a real handy man. I myself dis the whole installation of my ofuro last month. What a small great personal victory.

My TED Story

I first heard of TED from a student of mine and got very interested right away, but the whole process changed drastically when I found out I could be part of it by translating talks into Portuguese.
Even though English is an universal language the majority of brazilians are not be able to understand the talks in English and would never have the chance to spread the ideas and influence people to consider pondering different points of view.
The ideas are too precious to be only in English and all the ted translators have been doing a wonderful job to help spreading the ideas globally.
Thanks for the iniciative.

  Jan 25 2012: Being creative is about integrating all sides, the moment you start considering only one side you are getting closer to insanity which will come with a lot of suffering despite all your creativite potencial.

  Aug 19 2011: Oi Eduardo,
  O caso e saber dosar, como tudo o mesmo remédio que salva também mata, trata-se da dosagem.
  As legendas funcionam para compartilhar informação, como processo de aprendizagem as legendas têm data de validade, se usarmos por muito tempo acaba anulando nossa capacidade de desenvolvermos as outras competências, e no mundo corporativo não temos legendas em todas as interações.
  Take care

  Aug 19 2011: O compartilhamento de informação é um recurso valioso para que possamos melhorar nossas vidas constantemente, se alguém se interessar em pensar sobre algo construtivo após ter acesso através de algum material legendado isso em si já seria um bom início de conversa.
  Obrigado

  Aug 19 2011: OI Saulo,
  Percebo isso acontecendo com muita frequência, o que realmente interessa é o conteúdo e não o idioma, provavelmente sua mãe lhe enviaria o material se estivesse em qualquer outro idioma pois o que ela valorizou foi a mensagem. Manda um grande abraço para ela.

• A comment on Conversation: Material legendado ajuda a longo prazo a aquisição do idioma Inglês ou serve somente de atalho para acessar informação?

  Aug 10 2011: Oi Fábio,
  Concordo com seu ponto, o fato de se tornar divertido o envolvimento com o idiomas estrangeiro ajudará muito a caminhada.

• A comment on Conversation: Video Games can let you do Anything...including learn, get in shape and connect with the world in ways noone before us could have ever...

  Apr 13 2011: Games can be a great way to improve many aspects our our global eduction, specially because kids simply love spending hours playing them, but it won't be a definite solution for oureducational problems, we go to school not only too learn but also to learn how to socialize.
  Game are here to teach us a great deal if we do not try to exclude all the other resources.
