Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I last wrote in here. I've told you that news were going to come up soon... and here they are!!

It’s been almost three years since I came back to Portugal from my last experience abroad, in Turkey.

After that, I’ve worked for one year at a language course, EasyTalk. That was a really great and tough experience. During that year, I worked as an English teacher and I was teaching students from age 3 to adults, all kind of levels and teaching in schools, companies and in my own company (English courses).

Then, I’ve decided to embrace another project, till now.

Last year, I started working at ESCOLA DE PEDRO NUNES, as a Primary and English teacher. Basically I’ve been teaching 2nd grade and also I’m the English teacher for pre-school, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade.

This has been one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever had, so, time to time, I’ll be sharing some of my work and moments which I’ve had or will have during this exciting adventure!

How to use the verb tenses in English, simple and practical!

How to use the various verb tenses in English!

I did not include the future perfect continuous or the past perfect continuous because they didn’t fit on this post, but I have published those here.

The timeline representations for the tenses were inspired by this really cool graphic.

Enjoy it!

Turkish breakfast!

Dear followers, as I told you this is a blog to share my experiences while teaching abroad and to be abroad is being learning all the time, so here I also share things that I've learnt so far.

With these pictures I want to show you the most common Turkish breakfast, which is really good but, on the other hand, it is too rich for a Portuguese like me.

For Turkish people, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so usually Turks like a really rich breakfast. A typical Turkish breakfast consists of cheese, butter, olives, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, jam, honey, and kaymak (kind of cream). Sucuk (spicy Turkish sausage, can be eaten with eggs), pastırma, börek, simit, poğaça and soups are also eaten as a morning meal in Turkey. A common Turkish speciality for breakfast is called menemen, which is prepared with tomatoes, green peppers, onion, olive oil and eggs. Of course, Turkish tea is also part of the Turkish breakfast. In Turkish kahvaltı (breakfast) means "before coffee" (kahve, 'coffee'; altı, 'under'). What do you think about this Turkish breakfast? Do you prefer soft breakfast or a rich one?

Correspondence Programme Hello dear followers, teachers ... I haven't written anything since long time and today I decided write for you! This time I'm writing you to explain and tell you something really interesting for you, teachers, and for your students! Are you an English teacher? Are your students between 10-13 years old? Do you think that they would be interested in to visit Istanbul, make new friends and improve their English during one week? Discover more clicking on the link bellow.

Once I'm in Istanbul, a new city and culture for me, I have had some opportunities to visit some private schools on my free time. I'm very interested in to get to know better the Education System here, and so visit schools is very important for that.

Today I visited one school and there the teachers are very interested and motivated to do some exchange programme between their students and students from another country, Portugal (because I'm Portuguese) and maybe from another countries as well. The idea is to do this correspondence with students from 5th/6th grade, between 10-13 years old. The teachers want that those students come to Istanbul, to visit the school, to get to know Turkish students and teachers, and also to visit this awesome city for one week!

Are you an English teacher? Would you like to contact those teachers from that school? Do you think that your students would be interested in this opportunity? Please contact me as soon as possible and I'll give you more details.

Being an English teacher for the first time

This last Summer, while looking for a job, I discovered the AIESEC organization and I realized that from this organization I could get a professional internship abroad in many different countries of this World.

Discovery that opportunity which would open doors into this world, I didn't think twice and started to apply for many internships. And surprisingly, after many interviews, in the most diverse hours of the day, I was accepted for one of those internships.

That internship started last Friday, in Istanbul, and now I'm working as an English teacher.

This is my first experience as an English teacher and it has been a big challenge and a great experience, at the same time. A challenge because the students are Turkish and once I don't speak their language, sometimes, is difficult give the instructions to them. However, they've been very understanding and accepted me as a foreign teacher very well.

For now I don't want bother you more. I just would like to know if you have any experience as a foreign teacher and I wonder how do/did you get past the language barrier?

"Normally, students and teachers in Finland take a 15-minute break after every 45 minutes of instruction. During a typical break, students head outside to play and socialize with friends while teachers disappear to the lounge to chat over coffee."

While I was in Finland I saw exactly the same as this American teacher and I thought that these breaks really worth. Not only for kids, which can expend some energy playing and having fun with theirs friends, but it worth for the teachers as well. Teachers can relax and get a new energy to work. For both sides, these breaks between every 45 min. of lessons, are really a vantage for a better learning process!

"Some schools are cancelling recess. But this North Carolina grade school is going in the opposite direction: Kids ride bikes as they read."

Have you ever thought about this? Imagine your classroom with exercise bikes instead of desks, how do you like this idea?
