I have been away from the community for years.
I am Igor, 24 years old, from Brazil. My account is quite old, but I have been away, I am coming back to use Hive (former Steem) because I want to practice my Chinese, and I saw that here I can gamify my learning experience.
I have posted a video on d.tube in chinese, it is barely 2 minutes long, but by interacting with the Chinese community I can practice and improve my learning experience.
And because the blockchain rewards interactions, it is a gamification of my learning experience.
I also speak Spanish fluently, as I have lived in Mexico for 1 year before, so it is also nice that I can find many espanohablantes over here.
In case you also like languages, here are the ones I speak and around the level I am:
- Portuguese (native)
- Spanish (fluent)
- English (fluent)
- Chinese (almost intermediary)
- Russian (beginner)
Russian I am learning for working purposes. I know that "Igor" is a russian name, and to russians it is weird that I work (as a software developer) with russians, have a russian name, but don't speak the language (yet), so I am learning it, but I am at the very very beginning.
As most brazilians, I don't know if I have russian blood heritage or anything like that, we are a diverse country so if my family did have foreigner relatives, it was lost in history so I am just a brazilian with a russian name.
