Hello! I’m Eliane Rabello. I’m a Brazilian English as a foreign language teacher, journalist, and writer. I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Welcome to the site. Here you will find grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation tips in addition to curiosities about the English language.

I have been teaching English as a foreign language for almost 40 years. My work highlights a motivational approach based on my first book, Rise. In so doing, I employ the motto ‘I can and I will.’ Everybody needs encouragement, myself included.

Keep in mind that there is no magic methodology for learning any foreign language. It takes dedication and perseverance, among other things. It doesn’t matter your age. If you believe you can, you will taste the achievement through your commitment and discipline.

Take the opportunity to get to know my work as a writer by accessing the Motivational Blog page. The Blog aims primarily to motivate and inspire you on all fronts. Above all, you’ll find nuggets of inspiration through motivational prose poems, videos, and whatnot.

Take advantage of the shared information both on the site and the Blog and assimilate the content at your own pace. You can. You will.
