Testimonials

I started studying English when I was very young in my home country of Brazil. English is mandatory, as is Portuguese, our national language. I was fortunate that when I came over to the States, my English was pretty good already, and I just had to fine tune a little (which I still do). I believe that English should be declared the national language in this country as Portuguese is in Brazil. I say that because the language is an important part of a country’s sovereignty and culture.

In Brazil, we don't allow the press 1 for English, press 2 for something else because if someone does not know our national language, that someone should not be there in the first place. I educated my daughters in English only because this is their home and English is their language. We are all American citizens and English is our language. God gave us the opportunity to live in this blessed country and I honor this opportunity making sure that my family speaks their homeland’s language—English.
