Hi Thiago! I want to express my gratitude because the first time I listened to your story, it was a complete source of inspiration for me. At some point in that video, you said that something like “it doesn’t matter if we think we are not ready yet to work in a position that requires English, what is really important is to try and gain enough experience to know where we should focus on our English journey” .Two weeks after I received a job offer where knowing English was essential. I then went through four English interviews and finally got the job. I’m so happy and obviously challenged by this big step that I took. Thank you Thiago. I really appreciate that you shared your story and knowledge

Hey Thiago! Could you please make a video explaining that topic of prefixes and suffixes? You know, when the stress placement changes and therefore the meaning of the word. Like object(noun) and object(verb); conduct(noun) and conduct(verb)...
My best regards from Colombia parce !!! And don't forget to play the Blues !!!!
