Fear in the USA

I have a great fear about this travel to the USA. I think that my listening skills aren’t good enough for a conversation.

For example, the following word pairs sound the same to me: dad and dead, week and weak, live and leave, pan and pen. I guess I’ll have much trouble with this issue in my new country.

Or don’t. Maybe in few weeks I’ll be able to distinguish between these words.

I know I’m not a stupid guy (at least, not a big one), but I have this fear.

First post

This blog is an attempt to start to write in English. As you know, I’ll be moving to the USA soon to study Statistics. There, I’ll need to write a PhD thesis, so it’s mandatory to write in English.

I know I don’t have the same writer skills in English and in Portuguese. But from now I’ll start to practice more to be a better blogger in Shakespeare’s language.

And what do you think of my first post? It seems was wrote by a native speaker or by a Brazilian writer?
