English Logic vs. Portuguese Language

Some question for students reflection- after watching the video:

* Do they look nervous or worried about the mistakes they can possibly make?

* Do their mistakes interfere in our comprehension?

* What is the best way to improve our language skills: 

- to speak imperfectly and communicate, and sometimes be corrected for our eventual mistakes;

OR

- avoid mistakes and do not speak until we are 100% sure of all structures.

* Are you 100% sure of all grammatical structures in Portuguese? When you write a dissertation or a report for work (or some sort of important writing) in Portuguese, do you proof read it or you always write it all correct straight away?

No language has its rules carved in stone. Language is a living system and as we use and interact with it (interaction is its purpose, by the way) we change it. Mistakes are part of communication as much as they are part of its reconstruction.

Language is  privilege of humans, and it is here to be used and abused!
