Just a couple of corrections:

About news I'm really want to not watch any! (because It's full of misery :(

"I'm really want to not watch any" would be better phrased as something like "I really don't want to watch any". So the whole thing could be "As for news, I really don't want to watch any!".

I want to add some goals to do it every day:
* Vocabulary: I want to add form 25 : 50 new vocabulary each day.
* Reading- Listening: for(Novels, Sites, ...etc.) at least 30 minutes anything.
* Grammar: 1:2 lesson(s) per day.
* Writing: write at least one essay every day (I think I'll try to read a book about writing before beginning to write essays!)

When describing a range of numbers, we use a hyphen (-), not a colon (:). So "25-50 new vocabulary", and "1-2 lesson(s) per day".

Keep it up! :)

Thank you, I add this note to Anki, I saw this (-) at the program of Word (when I want to print something..) so that's very useful note! I appreciate what you're doing for helping me at my journey for learning - hopefully- English !
Thank you!

Nice to meet you too!, I wish you're at a higher level than me!, I think that English language is very beautiful language (especially, If you know that how to write the handwriting form), I wish you all the good at your study!

p.s: I love Brazil, I think that It is a very beautiful country, I wish to travel there someday!,and I wish also to learn Brazilian Portuguese in the near future!

Day 5-10

Anki (150 cards at 100 minutes)
reviewing vocabulary+grammar


Vocabulary
(95 new words)
(words actually read:439)
I add some vocabulary from listening music and graded readers(Yes I know that these books are too beginners but I'm really can't read along fiction literature, so. I begin to read graded again!)

Grammar
English Discoveries
(2 lessons)

Yes!, I know!, Not studying too much in these days!, I'll try to do more at the next days!, what I need to do (my goal) to reach 5000 words!, to finish: English Discoveries(Grammar section)and American Accent Training, I know this will take more time(maybe until the beginning of the next year!), But I need to estimate the point where I'll move to another language(Italiano!)

Hi,

I have been thinking about books you might like to read. Since you like fantasy but don't feel that you can read really advanced books yet, you could try something for a slightly younger age group but that would still be interesting. For example, there is a series called Children of the Red King by Jenny Nimmo. It is much easier than Twilight but I still think it is very good. It is also a long series (8 books), so it could provide you with a lot of reading material. It isn't exactly fantasy, because it is set in the real world, but the children in it have special powers and there are magic mirrors and things like that.

I know what it is like to not be able to understand books - this is always happening to me with Spanish, and it used to happen with Polish, too. It is frustrating, but eventually you'll get past it. :)

If I think of any other possible series I will let you know. Good luck with your studies!
