I would like to know more english. I can read and understand most of the posts but I can’t write all I want or express what I feel. Today is being the worst day ever. So many problems. Cant find a job, dont have any money, I am afraid of being evicted and so tired to be judged by my appearance. I am not a ugly girl, but dont have the typical brazilian beauty. Even with a good resume it seems like I am not beauty enougth to be a lawyer. I have a lot of others problems, sorrows and pain, but now I just wanted talk about the financial issue.

Your English is just fine. The important thing is to be clear enough to be understood by others. And, you have far exceeded that requirement, at least in this post.
Even native English speakers misspell words all the time. It’s not a big deal. You’re doing great !
That said, if you want to get better, there’s no better way than regular practice – speak, read, and write. When you read, keep a dictionary close by, to facilitate looking up new words you don’t understand.
I’ve been speaking English all my life and I still look up words almost daily.
Sorry to read about your day, I hope that things start to improve for you.
Considering English isn’t your primary language, your ability to communicate is really good, perhaps better even than some, for whom it’s their only language.
I can understand exploring a language in an effort to further express yourself, after all, the way others perceive us is in part through the way we articulate ourselves. Words then hold immense power. I too speak another language and from time to time I use Duolingo (or other language learning programs) to refresh my mind or further my understanding of that language.
I find that reading, writing, and even talking to people is a great way of learning. It becomes natural the more you do it, you then reach a point where you find yourself learning all the intricacies and nuances to establish those subtle variations which can completely alter the meaning.
Duolingo is best. I learn French thro the app. Wanttodoe2: you could try something like that.
I can relate to your financial situation. It sucks when you desperately need a job and you can’t find one. There were days I had no money to buy food and I survived with just water. I wish you get through the situation without being evicted.
I’m not good at expressing my mind in English either. I’m not a native speaker but I’ve been talking in English my whole life and still can’t remember words to exactly express what I feel. I believe it comes through practice.
I was of the impression that the biasing effect on the physical attractivess has decreased over years. If you’re not confident about your looks then you should sure showcase your other strengths that actually matter to be successful for the role and outweigh the “beauty” factor.
Also, a small woman-to-woman tip, prep yourself better before the interview. You don’t have to be a model to be attractive. Look at your best and you know what is best on you. Its the few minutes that you have to convince the person about how good you are, so do everything to make it work. Imagine that you’re the Wonder Woman for few seconds before you meet the interviewer. It works for me.
I see, if attitudes are ugly, then you are ugly. So you are beautiful to me. Keep moving. Take another breathe and let’s try again.
Usain Bolt has more fans than many beautiful celebrities. You don’t need to become beautiful to make a change. Come on.
