A special thanks to you and Mary for taking us from the borders of our country to other countries and teaching us how a healthy and intimate a relationship can be. You taught us a big lesson that countries and borders cannot limit thoughts, memories and humanity. Thank you very much for teaching me how to be patient, how to change, how to challenge.

Thank you. You teach us many things. You broaden our perspective.

How is the Brida Community linked to my life? Another way the community is linked is asking it for advice. I know I can ask questions about topics that interest me, and I get ideas and opinions because of the heterogenous nature of the community.

Knowing English, even a little bit like me is fantastic because we can contact people from around the world. Not every day, but I reach people from many countries, and they speak other languages different from Portuguese, my mother tongue. English makes the world smaller, and here, at The Brida Community, I hope to do it tinier and tinier.

We are motivated because we really need to progress, and also happy to see you again with your fantastic teaching.

Dear Frank, I enjoyed very much to study English with you. Brida Community is great.

This week we had visitors in our office. One of them was from Sweden, and he speaks English as an everyday language. So, I was forced to speak a little bit of that, what I think it could be English. First, I was a bit frightened about that, but it was fun… sometimes I want to thank you for that.

Everything went perfect, not comperable to the rest of my colleagues. Light years… Thanks, Frank, for the support of the Last years. You did a great job!

Me, Ismar and Sebastian (a German gentleman who I won’t expand on today, but it’s worth saying for now he has a very intriguing and unique hobby involving grass) meet every week to talk. Our official excuse for having these meetings is to practice English skills, but
– Igor, Los Angeles, USA
honestly, I don’t think any of us do that for this reason. These conversations provide far more benefits than just practising English because, somehow, we’ve created a “safe environment” where we can talk freely about any subject, knowing that we won’t be judged and that the other people are actually listening to us – something scarce nowadays, right?
I just hope that Gaël will stay He is not easy presently. But I know that you can help him more than in language. You are more than an English teacher

The Brida experience helped me to improve my English by immersing me in a 100% English world. Knowing that everyone here was there to learn was really reassuring and gave me confidence. The people in the community are really kind and it’s great to read their articles and personal stories.

You have taught me a lot, you revealed my English level, but you taught me much more than that. Thank you for everything you have done, for this support and learning through discussion. Your methods are excellent, and your BRIDA project is a real success. “Learning by doing, learning by speaking, learning together!!!”
