Prezado Tim, good morning!

Me considero principiante no estudo do inglês, estou longe ainda, de alcançar o meu objetivo de ser fluente em inglês, mas pela primeira vez, vejo alguém verdadeiramente, interessado e empenhado em ajudar as pessoas a aprenderem, de forma alegre e divertida, esse idioma que nos tempos de hoje, se tornou fundamental dominarmos. Parabéns, continue com essa missão, tenho certeza que as recompensas virão no futuro.
Um abraço agradecido. Paulo

  Thank you for participating, Maria. Just a little correction:
  
  para se casar = to get married
  para preparar um casamento = to plan a wedding

Hey, Tim!

I can see it doesn’t take you long at all to come up with a new mini podcast. It takes a long time to learn a new language, though, especially if you don’t dedicate yourself. That’s what I’m always telling my students. Hopefully, they’ll listen to me someday. LOL

Have a great day!

  It doesn’t take me too long to finish a book once I start reading; it’s mostly difficult for me to find time to read. 🙁

When I was listening this podcast my daughter’s friend phoned looking for her.
I answered: She went to english class but she won’t take long. She will be back very soon.

  Oh, I just remembered! You live in the U.S. right? So of course she understood you. 🙂

It takes a long time to get the hang of learning phrasal verbs and use them daily.

It takes a long time for my brother to have a blast when he is hungry.

  Hello, Williams. Your sentences are great. Thank you for participating! Just one question: Why does it take so long for your brother to have a blast when he is hungry? 🙂
