Quando você se ferir e do céu se afastar,
Eu lhe trarei para perto de Deus,
Quando sentir solidão vem comigo rezar,
Eu levarei suas preces a Deus.

Dear podcast…
Quite impressive how we can find technology everywhere and with an increasing velocity. Podcast, for exemple, who would say five years ago that today we could record ourselves talking about any issue we like and upload it on the internet? That’s why I like being part of the 21st century generation.
We can find podcasts all over the internet. There are a huge number of websites and blogs that provide podcasts about any subject you wish to be downloaded, and most of the time they are all free of charge!
To learn English I reckon that podcast is one of the most enjoyable source of data to work with students! We can improve the students’ vocabulary, pronunciation and listening skills only using a podcast! In addition, getting away from the board and the book for a while is always a great idea!
