Description

Hello,
My name is Vilson, born in Brazil, with Italian citizenship, but living in Spain. I have 3 daughters who decided to make Ireland their home. Two of them have Irish boyfriends, and I would love to be able to communicate with my future sons in law, so I decided to finally learn English.. it has been my dream to speak and understand English since the 80s, when I would listen to ABBA, Bee Gees, A-ha, and U2 in Brazilian radios.
I have tried learning English last year when I signed up for a proper English course, but that was not the best learning method for me. So I decided to sign up to Workaway and learn a bit of English, while providing my help and services: I manage 15 apartments that I own, and this includes painting, fixing electronics, repairing furniture, plumbing and electrical services, etc.
It would be great if I could find a place where I could provide these services and help maintain your garden/your home surroundings.

More details about my language interests
I have 3 daughters who decided to make Ireland their home. Two of them have Irish boyfriends, and it’s been impossible to communicate with my future sons in law, so I decided to finally learn English.. It had been my dream to speak and understand since the 80s, when I would listen to ABBA, Bee Gees, A-ha, and U2 in Brazilian radio. I always thought: “one day I’ll be able to sing these lyrics the right way and to finally understand what they are talking about”. I have tried learning English last year when I signed up for a proper English course, but I found out I was not cut out to learn another language by sitting in a classroom. So I decided to go to Ireland and spend a couple of months in the country my daughters live so I could at least learn the basic.
