I started this blog is for my Friend Jackie and my cousins A & T.
Quick background: I'm an American/Brazilian mother, audiologist, wife and christian.
I'll try to post tips here often on how to learn American English. Warning: This is a volunteer attempt to help people, not a claim for perfection. Mistakes are expected, and since I don't have an editing team, feel free to leave your comments below.
First, I would like to post a few songs.
The other day, Jackie and I were talking about the word "WEAKNESS" (Fraqueza).
We were also talking about the COMPARISON word "AS".
Examples:
Steve is AS handsome AS Brad Pitt. (Tao lindo quanto)
Steve is AS strong AS Silvester Stallone (Tao forte como)
Lucy is AS smart AS Albert Eistein (Tao inteligente como/quanto).
As I was thinking about these two things two songs came to mind, some of my favorite songs, actually. I'm sharing them with Portuguese translation below. Enjoy and see you soon!
As water to the thirsty

Lyrics:
As water to the thirsty,
as beauty to the eyes,
as strength that follows weakness,
as truth instead of lies,
as songtime and springtime
and summertime to be,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
Like calm in place of clamor,
like peace that follows pain,
like meeting after parting,
like sunshine after rain,
like moonlight and starlight
and sunlight on the sea,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
As sleep that follows fever,
as gold instead of grey,
as freedom after bondage,
as sunrise to the day,
as home to the traveler
and all we long to see,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.

As the deer pantet////h for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
as beauty to the eyes,
as strength that follows weakness,
as truth instead of lies,
as songtime and springtime
and summertime to be,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
Like calm in place of clamor,
like peace that follows pain,
like meeting after parting,
like sunshine after rain,
like moonlight and starlight
and sunlight on the sea,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
As sleep that follows fever,
as gold instead of grey,
as freedom after bondage,
as sunrise to the day,
as home to the traveler
and all we long to see,
so is my Lord,
my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.

As the deer pantet////h for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
Chorus:
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee
You're my friend and you are my brother
Even though you are a king
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything
Chorus:
Even though you are a king
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything
Chorus:
I want you more than gold or silver
Only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye
Chorus:
Only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye
Chorus:
