    I speak Portuguese and, unfortunately, there are not many channels in Brazil about these kind of thing, and your channel is so precious to me. Thank you so much.
    I'm learning English by myself, so i'm sorry if i did write something wrong.

      Your English was great!! Though (sorry if this is rude I'm hoping it will be helpful) instead of "I'm learn English" it would be "I'm learning English"
      It was all easy to understand though so I think you're in the clear

      Eu sou Brasileira também, e eu imigrei pro Canadá quando eu era criança. Foi bem difícil para mim é a minha família pra adaptar.
      Hoje, ajudamos outros recém-chegados Brasileiros da nossa igreja á adaptar.
      Inglês não era fácil de aprender para mim, mais agora eu consigo falar em um nível avançado.
      Eu acredito em você! Deus te abençoe! :D (e o seu inglês tá muito bom!)
      Desculpa se eu soletrei algo errado. Meu Português tá meio quebrado 😅

      Nunca peça desculpa pelo seu inglês, quem está aprendendo uma segunda língua para viabilizar a comunicação é VOCÊ! A pessoa que está confortável na língua dela e o mínimo que ela faz é relevar possíveis erros. Não se diminua por isso e continue aprendendo!

    Trying out this sponsor felt a bit lacking for me, it mainly focuses on categorization and organization for already-created text and media, and also a bit specific for high fantasy and RPG-like stories. I'm sure it's helpful for newcomers and a step up from using Word without headings, but as a computer girl I have the skills to accomplish the same in Excel in a genre-specialized way.
    Great video regardless🙂
