Hi, I’m Lucas and I’m 30 years old. I was born and raised in Brazil and have lived in this amazing city called New York City since last spring. I’ve always been fascinated by learning new languages, cultures, and experiences. I think that since I was a child, I had this dream of coming to New York. I am completely in love with the city that never sleeps! I remember watching movies and saying: “One day, I’m going to live there!” And so I did it! I think it’s amazing how this city makes you mature. Living here is an adventure every single day by seeing things in another sense. How big it is and how small it can be at the same time.

I already studied English in Brazil, but was never so successful as I only studied it once a week. My school was very good, but something was missing, so I chose NYEA to study English and in the best city in the world. I enjoy studying with native and very welltrained American teachers. Speaking English all the time and with students of other nationalities is completely different. I have only been studying at the school for three months and can see that my English has already developed very well. Today, I see that learning English is a necessity, both for professionals and ordinary people alike. I feel like I’ve learned a lot since I arrived and I still have a lot more to learn. My interests are to gain fluency in the English language and get a better opportunity in my field of work.
I might do a graduate degree here too; that could be a great idea. I can only say that, for now, I am living in the best period of my life. And I especially love the experience of studying English at NYEA!
