Just wanted to share with you an episode of my private life
3 years ago when I said goodbye to my AMAZING DEAR BRAZILIAN FRIENDS FOR LIFE Sônia Pinto and Silvar Ribeiro
FRIENDS FOR EVER
They have a special place in my heart as they were also one if the 1st International members of my LINGO MIX International Language Cafe in Milton Keynes, UK set up in July 2016. They came for an exchange for 1 year at our Open University, Milton Keynes as education researchers for an exchange with their University of Bahia.
At the beginning their level of English was not so great… And every week they came to my International gatherings and you could see their level of English improving, it was amazing to see that. And we became friends, seeing each other in the weeks, weekends, exploring UK and a trip to France, Chamonix where they discovered the snow and the ski 🤣🤣_ pretty good skiers they are too_
So many memories, places, laughs, photos, discovering other cultures together.. That’s what friendship is all about.
I will never forget the last moments together who broke my heart when we said BYE to each other…3 years ago. This photo was taken at their place when he did not know where to put all his hats, so he got an idea, as no more space in the suitcase, to put them on his head.. And we tried his hats. In the photo with my best friends all together for 1 year.. And more…
BUT I know we will see each other again.. And always be friends.
We still carry on chatting and seeing each other virtually, thanks of our modern technology.
KEEP SAFE AND SEE YOU SOON MY DEAR FRIENDS
LOVE THIS PHOTOS SO MUCH

Hi Marie, the time with you and our others new friends from the English Meetups was really helpful and happy. At first we almost couldn’t understand what you were saying but step by step, studying in The ELH School, by the church, and going to the meetups, walking around, traveling and chat a lot with you all, we learned and became confident to speak English. The best thing about it wasn’t only to learn English, the trust is that the best thing we gained was your friendship and it is really forever. Thank you for this our best friend!!!!
Yeah.. SPECIAL FRIENDS YOU ARE
